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](https://getagency.com/drata-best-price-guarantee) and [Vanta Best Price Guarantee](https://getagency.com/vanta-best-price-guarantee) pages, with the complete rules in the [Best Price Guarantee Terms and Conditions](https://getagency.com/best-price-guarantee-terms). 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](https://getagency.com/lp/vanta-pricing)). ## 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](https://getagency.com/lp/drata-partner). - 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](https://getagency.com/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](https://getagency.com/best-price-guarantee-terms). ## 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. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does Drata cost?
