SOC 2 cost calculator

What will SOC 2 compliance cost your company?

Answer five questions. We estimate the first-year cost of SOC 2 compliance for an Indian SaaS company — line by line, with every assumption spelled out. No email, no account, and we store nothing.

Full-time employees and contractors
Most enterprise customers ask for Type II — it costs more because of the observation period.
Distinct products or services covered by the report

Example for a 40-person general-sector company, one product, going straight for a Type II report — the defaults below. Change any answer to see your own figure update.

This is an estimate, not a quotation. Actual costs depend on the CPA firm you choose, negotiation, and your specific compliance posture.

Low ₹6.1 L
Most likely ₹13.8 L
High ₹30.8 L
  • Readiness assessment one-off ₹38,250 – ₹1.8 L

    One-off. Assumes a gap analysis against the Trust Services Criteria for a 40-person organisation in the general sector, covering a single product, with an in-house team. Mid-point: ₹1.4 L at base scale.

  • Policy & control documentation one-off ₹31,875 – ₹1.5 L

    One-off. Assumes security policies and control documentation drafted to the scope of a single product. Mid-point: ₹1.2 L at base scale.

  • Control remediation one-off ₹38,250 – ₹2.0 L

    One-off. Assumes engineering and process work to close the gaps the readiness assessment finds — access control, logging, vendor management — scaled by scope. Mid-point: ₹1.6 L at base scale.

  • CPA firm audit fee annual ₹3.2 L – ₹12.8 L

    Annual — SOC 2 reports are re-issued yearly for continued sales use. Assumes a Type II report, covering a 3-12 month observation period. Type II audit fees run materially higher than Type I because of the extended observation period. Mid-point: ₹9 L at base scale.

  • Compliance programme owner annual ₹63,750 – ₹3.8 L

    Annual. Assumes a fractional allocation — often the CTO/founder at a small startup, a dedicated hire at larger scope. Mid-point: ₹2.5 L at base scale.

  • Staff security training annual ₹19,125 – ₹1.2 L

    Annual. Assumes security-awareness training at ~₹1,200/employee for in-house delivery, scaled by headcount bracket. Mid-point: ₹1.2 L at base scale (~100 employees).

  • Evidence-automation tooling annual ₹95,625 – ₹7.7 L

    Annual. Unlike ISO 27001, most SOC 2 Type II programmes run a named automated evidence-collection platform (Vanta/Drata/Sprinto/Scrut-class) — Indian deployments run ₹7-15L/year at the entry tier; low band reflects a lighter, more manual setup. Mid-point: ₹5 L at base scale.
