What is a SOC 2 Type 2 audit?

A SOC 2 Type 2 audit tests whether your security controls operated effectively over a review period, typically 6 to 12 months. It is considered the gold standard for demonstrating ongoing security practices to enterprise customers, investors, and partners.

How much does a SOC 2 Type 2 audit cost?

SOC 2 Type 2 audits generally cost between $30,000 and $100,000. The price depends on the size of your organization, the complexity of your systems, the number of trust service criteria, and the length of the observation period. Ongoing annual audits are often less expensive than the first year.

How long does a SOC 2 Type 2 audit take?

The observation period alone is typically 6 to 12 months. Including preparation and the audit fieldwork, most companies should plan for 9 to 14 months from start to report delivery for their first Type 2 engagement.

What is the difference between SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2?

Type 1 evaluates whether controls are suitably designed at a single point in time. Type 2 evaluates whether those controls actually operated effectively over a sustained period (usually 6-12 months). Enterprise buyers and investors almost always prefer a Type 2 report because it provides stronger assurance.
