SOC 2 cost calculator and planning assumptions

Use the calculator for an indicative SOC 2 result from the existing rate card; it does not rewrite the underlying rate card to the advertised starting offer.

A result is not a firm-confirmed quote. Verify report type, employee band, systems, criteria, readiness, observation period, and exclusions.

The ISO 27001 option uses a separate public planning schedule. ISO 27001 Stage 1 + Stage 2 certification audits together start from $5,000 for companies with 1–20 employees/FTEs. Prices depend on scope and final quote. Higher tiers are illustrative planning examples, not observed market statistics or confirmed certification-body rates. Platform fees are included; surveillance, readiness, internal audits and tooling are separate. This is not a fixed-price checkout offer or the full three-year lifecycle cost.

SOC 2 Type 2 audits starting at $2,500

Compare SOC 2 Type 2 audits starting at $2,500. Review scope, auditor evidence and pricing, then request comparable quotes on AuditNex.

What changes the fee: Company size, systems, Trust Services Criteria, readiness and observation period affect the fee. Confirm the covered examination and report, exclusions and engagement terms in writing.

Potential separate costs: All AuditNex platform and payment-processing fees are included in the displayed price; no extra percentage or flat platform fee is added. Readiness, remediation, compliance software, additional criteria and future renewals remain outside the audit scope and may be priced separately. Confirm the itemized scope and total before engagement.

An AuditNex network starting offer, not a fixed quote or every listed firm's rate. Each firm confirms eligibility, scope, availability and final fees.

Current default estimate

Source: current active AuditNex network rate-card row for SOC 2 Type 2 and the 11–50 employee band. Assumes the calculator's standard scope; readiness, remediation, compliance software, additional Trust Services Criteria, renewals, and applicable platform or payment fees are excluded unless stated. This estimate is not a firm-confirmed quote and does not replace the separate $2,500 network starting offer.
