There is no single price for SOC 2. The cost depends on what the report covers and how much work your team needs before the examination.
Budget for these separately:
- The CPA firm’s fee for the examination and report.
- Preparation advice if you need outside help.
- Optional software for organizing controls and evidence.
- Fixing gaps in your systems or working practices.
- Your team’s time to run controls and support the examination.
Ask competing providers to quote the same scope and report type. For Type 2, use the same reporting period. Ask what is excluded and what could trigger extra charges.
Start with the SOC preparation checklist to identify the work behind the price.
