Bringing Transparency to SOC 2

The Problem We Saw

When companies need SOC 2, they face an opaque market. Most auditors and platforms hide pricing behind "contact us" forms. It is hard to compare firms or tools side by side. Generic advice gives buyers "it depends" when they are trying to build a budget and protect a sales timeline.

The result is wasted time. Buyers spend weeks on discovery calls before they get basic information: what a firm costs, whether it handles their industry, how long the engagement usually takes, and whether the assigned team has modern cloud and SaaS experience.

What We Built

Buyers can compare 174+ verified audit firms by estimated Type 1 and Type 2 pricing, timeline, company-stage and industry fit, licensing, and peer-review evidence, then submit one private brief for 3–10 matched quotes. Buyer identities remain private until they choose which firms to meet. The same dataset informs 26 software platform comparisons. See the software hub.

Who Reads Us

CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of Security, founders, and compliance managers at SaaS companies preparing for their first SOC 2 or renewing a Type 2. Most readers arrive with a practical question about pricing, timeline, auditor fit, or platform selection.

How We Review

Shortlists and planning ranges are judgments from those live briefs and quotes, checked against public licensing and peer-review records. The rulebook is public: what we evaluate, where numbers come from, what sponsorship can buy, and what it cannot. Read the full methodology.
