Independent Audit Verifies XPERTECHS’s Internal Controls and Processes
Ellicott City, MD – XPERTECHS, a managed IT services provider, today announced that it has completed its SOC 2 Type I audit. This attestation provides evidence that XPERTECHS has a strong commitment to delivering high-quality services to its clients by demonstrating they have the necessary internal controls and processes in place.
SOC 2 engagements are based on the AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria.

KirkpatrickPrice’s audit report verifies the suitability of the design of XPERTECHS’s controls to meet the standards for these criteria.
“XPERTECHS makes it a priority to have the proper processes and controls in place to keep our environment as secure as possible” said Michael Mellott, President of XPERTECHS. “By achieving the SOC 2 Type I certification, XPERTECHS is demonstrating our commitment to security to our clients and prospective customers.”
“The SOC 2 audit is based on the Trust Services Criteria. XPERTECHS has selected the security and availability categories for the basis of their audit,” said Joseph Kirkpatrick, President of KirkpatrickPrice. “XPERTECHS delivers trust-based services to their clients, and by communicating the results of this audit, their clients can be assured of their reliance on XPERTECHS’s controls.”
