Readiness for Type 2 Pricing Position
Note: Pricing shown is estimated based on typical engagements. Use our SOC 2 cost calculator for a personalized estimate.
Not a like-for-like comparison: the organization-group average and market span above are drawn from firms that price the audit itself. Moore Kingston Smith's range covers readiness work only, so a lower band here does not mean a lower total cost of getting your SOC 2 report.
Timeline: The 3–9 week figure is the readiness window before your auditor is engaged, not the full engagement. A SOC 2 Type II also requires an observation period, typically 3–12 months depending on scope, before that window begins.

Questions to Ask Moore Kingston Smith Before Hiring
A buyer-side checklist. Bring these to your first call — the answers separate firms that have run hundreds of SOC 2 engagements from firms that are bidding on them.
- Your team is sized at 5-15+. How many auditors will be assigned to my engagement, and who is the engagement lead — a partner, a senior manager, or a staff auditor?
- You quote 3–9 weeks. What pushes a project to the longer end of that range, and what does "audit-ready on day one" look like to you?
- Your Readiness for Type 2 range is $25K–$70K. What's included at each end, and what scope changes would push pricing above the top of that range?
- You integrate with Drata, Sprinto. If our team uses a different GRC tool, what's the evidence-handoff process and does it change your fee?
- Which CPA firms do you hand off to, and will you stay involved through fieldwork once the auditor is engaged?
- How do you handle subservice carve-outs (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) versus inclusive subservice organizations when defining our scope?
- When you find an issue mid-audit, what's your remediation cadence — same-day flagging, weekly checkpoints, or an end-of-fieldwork rollup?
- Do you have surge windows (e.g., Q4 financial-year close) when start dates slip, and how far in advance do we need to lock the engagement to avoid them?
