How many frameworks you need
The first framework sets the base. Each one after it prices at about 60% of the first, because SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and the rest share most of their controls. SOC 2 Type I and Type II count as two.
Compare frameworks →Whether your industry is regulated
Healthcare, finance, insurance, defense, data centers and gaming carry more evidence and more auditor scrutiny. CMMC Level 2 puts you in the regulated tier whatever your industry.
See the industries we cover →Scope complexity
More than one legal entity, staff in several countries, a product that runs on customer premises, or starting with no policies at all each add a named deliverable to the work, and to the range.
Learn about assessing risks →Third-party fees
The audit firm and the pentest vendor are paid separately, on both the traditional route and with EasyAudit. A SOC 2 Type II audit runs $12,000 to $45,000; a pentest $8,000 to $25,000.

Are there any ongoing costs after achieving compliance?
Yes. Certifications renew annually, pentests are annual, and the traditional route keeps paying for consultants, software and your team's hours every year.
Annual audit renewal
Most certifications are re-audited every year to confirm the controls still hold. The audit firm's fee recurs; with EasyAudit the evidence is already collected when the auditor arrives.
Annual penetration test
Auditors expect a pentest within the last 12 months. If yours is older, budget for one; if it is recent, your next one is due within the year.
Consultants and GRC staff
On the traditional route, readiness consultants and compliance hires are the largest recurring line. EasyAudit's AI Compliance Officer replaces that work with a single yearly range.
Compliance software subscription
Traditional tooling is billed yearly on top of the people who run it. EasyAudit's range includes the platform, the policies, evidence collection and audit management.
Why achieve compliance?
To expand your business opportunities and grow your company. Why else are 91% of companies looking to implement compliance in the next five years? For the same exact reasons.
Secure bigger deals
Large enterprises, especially in finance and healthcare, won't even look your way if you're non-compliant. Compliance opens doors to lucrative enterprise contracts and partnerships.
Prevent catastrophic data breaches
Fewer breaches mean less downtime, fewer lawsuits, less stolen sensitive data, and, ultimately, a stronger reputation. Proper compliance frameworks significantly reduce security risks.
Attract bigger investments
Reduces perceived risk, building investor confidence and encouraging larger investment commitments. Compliance demonstrates maturity and readiness for serious investment.
Streamline sales processes
Quickly proving to your customers that their data is secure with you accelerates sales cycles. No more lengthy security questionnaires or compliance documentation requests.
How does EasyAudit work?
Our streamlined process makes compliance accessible and manageable for businesses of all sizes.
Self-Assessment Report
EasyAudit begins by generating a self-assessment report. You'll fill out a simple questionnaire about your company, and the tool will automatically generate this report in seconds.
Identify and Remediate Gaps
After reviewing your self-assessment report, EasyAudit helps you identify any compliance gaps. For each gap identified, EasyAudit will generate the necessary policies, procedures, and processes required for you to achieve compliance.
Verification by an Auditor
Finally, your controls will be independently verified by an auditor to ensure they are compliant with the framework(s) of choice. EasyAudit can refer you to one of their trusted auditors if needed.
