CertiK is also notoriously bad reputation auditor company, having black hats on their payroll, and promoting scam projects.

You want former black-hats only, with a reputation of being a white-hat hacker in the present day. Handing tons of sensitive customer information to people actively engaged in black-hat hacking and scams is a terrible idea.
