Recognition underscores rapid growth as Thoropass modernizes compliance and audit with AI-powered expertise

NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER 19, 2025 – Thoropass, the next-generation IT audit firm combining AI-native automation with expert auditors, today announced its inclusion on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America, with a three year growth of 351%. This marks the second year in a row that Thoropass has been recognized among the most dynamic and successful independent businesses in the U.S.

The Inc. 5000 list is a data-driven ranking of private companies that have demonstrated remarkable growth while navigating a challenging economic environment. This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees collectively generated a median three-year revenue growth rate of 1,552 percent and added more than 48,000 jobs to the U.S. economy.

“Making the Inc. 5000 list for the second straight year is a milestone that speaks to the resilience and drive of our team,” said Sam Li, CEO of Thoropass. “We’re tackling a challenge that has gone unaddressed for too long, bringing speed, transparency, and AI innovation to security compliance and audit. This recognition confirms that the market is ready for change, and we’re just getting started.”

Thoropass has quickly established itself as the modern alternative to legacy audit firms, embedding auditors from day one and pairing them with AI-powered automation to reduce the cost and complexity of compliance. Customers use Thoropass to run rigorous, multi-framework audits across SOC 2, ISO, PCI, and HITRUST while eliminating inefficiencies, redundant work, and vendor sprawl. The company’s approach has cut audit cycles by 62 percent and reduced audit overhead by 80 percent, helping more than 1,000 organizations—including leading SaaS, fintech, and healthcare companies—scale their compliance programs with confidence.
