Compass IT Compliance Expands Serivce Capabilities with Acquisition of OCD Tech's U.S. Operations
North Providence, RI — Compass IT Compliance, a nationally recognized provider of cybersecurity, compliance, and IT audit services, today announced the acquisition of the U.S. operations of OCD Tech, a leading independent IT audit and cybersecurity firm with more than 15 years of industry expertise. The acquisition represents a significant milestone in Compass's strategic growth and reinforces the company's commitment to delivering best-in-class security and compliance solutions to organizations of all sizes.
OCD Tech has built an exceptional reputation for delivering objective, practical IT audit and cybersecurity advisory services across a wide range of industries, including financial services, healthcare, technology, and government. By joining forces, Compass IT Compliance will significantly expand its capabilities across key practice areas, including SOC 2 examinations, regulatory compliance, risk assessment, virtual CISO (vCISO) advisory, offensive security testing, and cybersecurity awareness training. The combined organization will offer a deeper bench of certified professionals and a broader service portfolio to meet the growing and evolving demands of today's threat landscape.
"This acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for Compass IT Compliance," said William DePalma, Managing Partner, Compass IT Compliance. "OCD Tech has built something truly impressive over the past two decades, but what stood out to us from the start was their genuine commitment to putting clients first. That customer-first mindset is a core value we share at Compass, and it made clear from our earliest conversations that this partnership was a natural fit. Together, we are positioned to deliver even greater value to the organizations that depend on us to safeguard their operations and help them navigate an increasingly complex regulatory environment."
