SOC 2 pricing
Every price we charge, what it covers, and what it does not.
This page lists every price we charge, what each one covers and what it does not. The readiness assessment is free, so you choose with your own score and gap list in front of you. Onboarding gets you audit-ready, then Type 2 keeps you there on a 12-month term with your first Type 2 audit inside it.
Two ways to start
You pay for one entry, once, at checkout: onboarding on its own, or onboarding together with the SOC 2 Type 1 examination. It is a choice between the two, not two steps, and either one leads into the same Type 2 term when you are ready for it.
Step 1
Get audit-ready
$2,000one time
Paid once, when your score comes back.
- Guided gap remediation
- Thirteen policies written from your stack
- Evidence binder with every control mapped
- Your complete SOC 2 package, ready for the auditor
Nothing to renew. Your policies, evidence and package stay yours.
Step 2
Get your SOC 2 Type 2 report
$600per month
On a 12-month term. Or $6,600 up front for the first year, pay for eleven months, get twelve.
- Your first SOC 2 Type 2 audit, included once the 3-month observation period completes
- No separate auditor invoice
- Guided monthly evidence check-ins with reminders
- Drift alerts the moment a control slips
You choose when it starts. Once step 1 is done, start the term whenever you are ready.
Performed by an independent partner auditor, a licensed U.S. CPA firm, named to you before you sign the engagement letter.
Free. No payment and no card. You pay for step 1 once your score comes back.
Need a SOC 2 Type 1 report sooner?
Add the Type 1 examination for $2,000 more, auditor fee included, at checkout or any time before your Type 2 starts. You can still start Type 2 after your Type 1 report.
The prices
- Readiness assessmentFreeYour readiness score, every gap category counted and your first findings written out. No card.
- Platform onboarding$2,000 one timeGap remediation, policies written for your company, evidence mapped to every control, and your complete SOC 2 package.
- SOC 2 Type 2 term$600 a monthA 12-month term, started whenever you are ready after onboarding. Or $6,600 up front for the first 12 months, which saves $600.
- Your first SOC 2 Type 2 auditIncludedInside the term, with no separate auditor invoice. It starts once the 3-month observation period completes.
- SOC 2 Type 1 examination (optional)$2,000 one timeAdd it any time before the Type 2 term, or buy it with onboarding for $4,000 in total. The CPA firm's fee is included.
- Audits after the firstQuotedQuoted per engagement before it begins.
Checkout happens inside your account, after your free readiness results, so every payment is attached to the right company. There is no sales call before you can see a price, and nothing on this list is held back for a quote except audits after the first.
Your first year, all in
These are the totals to compare against any other quote, because each one already counts the audit. Use them rather than adding up the parts yourself.
- $9,200. Onboarding plus 12 months of Type 2, with your first Type 2 audit included.
- $11,200. The same, with the SOC 2 Type 1 examination added.
If you would rather pay the term up front, $6,600 covers the first 12 months of Type 2 and saves $600 against paying monthly, after which billing continues at $600 a month.
Included
- The readiness assessment and your full gap list
- Policies written for your company, not templates
- Evidence collection, with connectors for AWS, GitHub and Google
- The complete package an auditor needs
- Monthly evidence check-ins and reminders during the Type 2 term
- Your first SOC 2 Type 2 audit, by an independent licensed U.S. CPA firm
Not included
- The SOC 2 Type 1 examination, unless you add it
- Audits after the first Type 2 audit, which are quoted
You can add the Type 1 examination at any point before the Type 2 term starts, at the price shown in the table above, so waiting to decide costs nothing extra. Every audit after the first is quoted before it begins, and you owe nothing until you accept the quote.

What others charge
The big compliance platforms sell a yearly contract, usually quoted after a sales call, and a CPA firm then bills the audit on top as a separate engagement. That makes their first year two purchases, so compare our all-in totals above with both of theirs added together. For the sourced figures, see what SOC 2 costs or try the SOC 2 cost calculator.
Refunds
Either entry payment is fully refundable within 7 days of payment. On the Type 1 entry that window also closes once your audit report is generated, because the CPA firm has begun work that cannot be undone. The Type 2 subscription is fully refundable within 7 days of your first charge, which also releases you from the term. After that the term runs its full 12 months: cancelling inside the term stops the renewal, and billing and access continue to the end of the term. Issued reports and their public verification stay yours. The full terms are in the refund policy and the terms of service.
