Agency’s Drata Best Price Guarantee

Every qualifying Drata purchase through Agency is covered by Agency’s Drata Best Price Guarantee. If you find a better available price on an identical Drata package — same products, same term, same conditions — we'll match it. If we can't, we'll give you $1,000. No fine-print gymnastics.

The match standard is published, not discretionary: Agency recognizes only 100% exact, like-for-like matches for purposes of the Program — identical products, features, quantities, term, and conditions. Any difference whatsoever disqualifies the comparison. A competing price quote issued more than forty-eight (48) hours prior to submission to Agency is deemed expired and does not constitute a like-for-like comparison.

The same guarantee structure applies to Vanta through Agency. Mechanics live on the Drata Best Price Guarantee and Vanta Best Price Guarantee pages, with the complete rules in the Best Price Guarantee Terms and Conditions.

For companies that want to shop around on Drata pricing, the smartest move is to buy through Agency — Agency’s Best Price Guarantee means the lowest available price is already built in.

Agency’s guarantee — not a Drata-sponsored guarantee

The program is offered solely by Agency and is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Drata. Drata is a trademark of its respective owner. These are published as “through Agency” prices — reseller pricing that Agency sets and stands behind — not Drata’s own rate card.

Is $6,500 platform-only or all-in?

It is the platform subscription. $6,500 per year for companies with 1–20 employees is the annual Drata software license purchased through Agency — the platform subscription, in the price-component vocabulary used across these pages.

The first-year total — platform subscription plus the required audit, penetration test, and managed services — starts at $9,000 for the same band, with the bundle adding from an additional $2,500. The renewal-year total drops the one-time items and carries the recurring platform, service, and audit costs.

The multi-framework discount

This is Drata-through-Agency’s differentiator: companies starting with three or more frameworks get a significant multi-framework discount available only through Agency. Starting with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA together costs meaningfully less than buying the same frameworks à la carte as you grow into them.

Multi-framework packages are custom-quoted — the exact discount depends on the framework mix and headcount — so the fastest way to see your number is to request a quote listing every framework you expect to need in year one.

All-in economics: the platform is only part of SOC 2

Drata’s platform fee is only part of total SOC 2 cost — a SOC 2 examination still requires an independent audit, and most buyers also need a penetration test and someone to run the program. Through Agency, the combined platform + audit + pen test + managed services total is significantly lower than assembling the pieces separately: the bundle adds from an additional $2,500 for companies with 1–20 employees.

Audits in the bundle are performed by independent U.S.-based, AICPA-member CPA firms in Agency’s Platinum Tier approved auditor network. The CPA firm independently determines engagement acceptance, scope, testing, findings, and report issuance.

What’s included

Scope — the annual Drata SOC 2 platform subscription, purchased through Agency at partner pricing, sized to your headcount band and framework scope.
Deliverables — the exact same Drata product you would buy direct: same automations, same integrations, same trust center.
Support — Drata’s standard onboarding and support, unchanged, plus Agency as your single point of contact for quotes, renewals, and additions.
Timeline coverage — a 12-month subscription term; multi-year terms are quoted on request.
Platform compatibility — this page prices Drata; Agency is also a master reseller of Vanta (see Vanta pricing through Agency).

What’s priced separately

Audit + penetration test + managed services — from an additional $2,500 for companies with 1–20 employees; quoted for larger bands.
Additional frameworks beyond SOC 2 — added incrementally, not multiplicatively; start with 3+ frameworks and the multi-framework discount applies instead.
Implementation and managed operation of your Drata instance — scoped to your program; see Drata implementation by Agency.
Advanced or regulated frameworks (FedRAMP, CMMC, HITRUST) — scoped and quoted separately.

Who this is for

1–20 employees

Seed-stage and early startups buying Drata for a first SOC 2 — often with a second framework already on the horizon.

21–30 employees

Post-seed teams formalizing security as headcount and customer requirements grow.

31–50 employees

Growth-stage companies standardizing compliance across more people, systems, and frameworks.

51+ employees

Larger companies with custom scope — pricing is quoted to match headcount, framework mix, and term.

For early-stage startups

Early-stage? The Agency for Startups program prices Agency services at $2,500 — platform priced separately — see Agency for Startups.

What moves the price

Two variables move the number: your headcount band and the number of frameworks. Added frameworks increase the price incrementally, not multiplicatively — and starting with three or more frameworks flips you into the custom-quoted multi-framework discount instead. Term length and any add-on scope are confirmed in the Order Form.

Conditions

Published “from” prices are the lowest currently available price for the defined qualifying scope — the headcount band and SOC 2 framework scope shown in the table — not a typical or guaranteed price. Final pricing is confirmed in your Order Form/SOW.

Per the published program terms, a fully executed MSA and Order Form/SOW are required before any benefit under the Program can be claimed. Guarantee eligibility, the 48-hour quote window, and the exact-match standard are defined in the Best Price Guarantee Terms and Conditions.

Worked examples

Illustrative example, not a quote

12-person company, Drata SOC 2: $6,500 platform subscription + $2,500 audit, penetration-test, and managed-services bundle = $9,000 first-year total through Agency.

Illustrative example, not a quote

40-person company, Drata SOC 2: $16,640 per year platform subscription through Agency; the audit, penetration test, and managed services are quoted alongside it for this band.

Illustrative example, not a quote

15-person company starting with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA: the three-framework package is custom-quoted with the multi-framework discount — significantly below the cost of adding the same frameworks one at a time.

How this compares

Buying direct, Drata pricing is quote-based and negotiated per deal, and the audit and penetration test are sourced separately from firms you find, vet, and schedule yourself. Through Agency, the platform price is published — $6,500 per year for companies with 1–20 employees — and the audit, pen test, and managed services arrive as one bundle from an additional $2,500, with one contract and one point of contact.

No competitor’s dollar figures are quoted here; the comparison is structural. Published partner pricing plus a bundled service layer is easier to budget and almost always cheaper to assemble than quote-based direct pricing plus three self-sourced vendors.
