What SOC 2 actually costs

Answer first: here’s the math

Getting SOC 2 ready usually means buying a platform, an audit, and a pen test separately — then spending your team’s months on the work. In our startup program, it’s one all-in price.

Line item	Typical DIY / other vendors	With Agency
Compliance platform	$8k–$25k	Discounted, included
SOC 2 audit	$10k–$30k	Discounted, included
Pen test	$4k–$15k	Included
Work to get ready	Your team’s months	Done with you
All-in (year 1)	$25k–$60k+	$2,500–$12,500

Final price depends on your funding stage and stack. Apply once and we’ll tell you your exact number.

SOC 2 audit + pen test, as low as $2,500 total.

How? Agency stacks platform discounts (Vanta and Drata), discounted audits, AWS credits, and CrowdStrike licensing into one program — then our human + AI team does the work to get you audit-ready. The stacked savings are what make the low all-in price possible.

Stacked partner discounts

How we get the price this low

Agency stacks platform, audit, and cloud discounts from leading providers into one program — the savings that make the low all-in price possible.

Agency is a top-tier partner at both Vanta and Drata — the two leading GRC platforms — which means deeper platform discounts for startups in the program.

Discounted audits with leading global firms

Access AWS credits for qualifying large purchases and discounted CrowdStrike licensing — the same enterprise tooling, at startup pricing.

What’s included

Everything in one program

Discounted Vanta / Drata

Top-tier partner pricing on the leading GRC platform — Agency configures and runs it for you.

SOC 2 Type 1/2 audit

Discounted audits through partnered firms — the report your customers and investors are asking for.

Penetration test

An independent pen test, included — not a line item you discover and pay for separately.

AWS credits

Access to AWS credits for qualifying purchases — useful for the infrastructure spend you were making anyway.

CrowdStrike licensing

Discounted CrowdStrike endpoint protection — the same enterprise EDR, at startup pricing.

Agency Manage & Comply

The human + AI team that does the work — evidence, remediation, and running the program to certification.
