This award highlights the Audit team's expertise and commitment to streamlining the compliance process for their clients.
-- SecurityMetrics has won the ‘Cybersecurity Audit Team of the Year’ award from the Hacker News Award 2026.
AI has made it easier for criminals to spread ransomware, find weaknesses in supply chains, and attack businesses. Cybersecurity tools and services have never needed to be more thorough and adept at finding gaps. Businesses must switch from a tool-based approach to a compliance system. SecurityMetrics takes a more holistic approach to compliance, ensuring the best solutions are available at each step of the process. This recent award emphasizes the expertise and talent of the Audit Team in particular, and the critical role they play in securing businesses.
“Our Audit Team is committed to helping businesses have peace of mind about their cybersecurity and compliance. They work tirelessly to make sure proper processes are followed, vulnerabilities are addressed, deadlines are met, and questions are answered by an expert,” said Brad Caldwell, CEO of SecurityMetrics. “This award highlights their efforts and the impact that good QSAs have on each business they work with and the entire industry.”
“We're honored to recognize SecurityMetrics as our Cybersecurity Audit Team of the Year. For more than two decades, they've conducted thousands of compliance assessments across PCI DSS, HIPAA, CMMC, and other frameworks, building real expertise in the details that matter. Their commitment to thorough, hands-on audits and genuine support for their clients reflects the kind of work that moves the field forward,” said a representative of the Hacker News.
