What does SOC 2 cost for startups?
As little as $2,500 for startups in our program — audit and pen test included.
All-in SOC 2 readiness — the work, the audit, the pen test, and the tooling — from $2,500 to $12,500 depending on your stage. Most startups pay $25,000–$60,000+ for the same outcome.
Program scope: the $2,500 starting price covers Agency services only — the GRC platform is priced separately; packages that include the platform land higher in the range. Past the startup program? Express Comply publishes flat-rate done-for-you SOC 2 pricing.
- SOC 2 Type 1/2 audit — included
- Independent penetration test — included
- Discounts on Vanta or Drata if you don’t have a GRC platform
