FAQs

What is the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?
Type I evaluates control design at a point in time. Type II evaluates operational effectiveness of controls over a period (typically 6-12 months). Type II is more demanding but more valued by customers. We often recommend starting with Type I then moving to Type II.
How much does SOC 2 certification cost?
Total cost ranges from €50K to €200K+ depending on size and complexity. This includes: consulting support (€25-75K), compliance tools (€10-30K/year), and CPA audit (€15-50K). For a typical SaaS startup, expect €75-100K the first year.
How long does it take to get SOC 2?
Type I: 3-6 months (preparation + audit). Type II: 9-18 months (preparation + 6-12 month observation period + audit). With our support and a mature organization, Type I can be achieved in 3 months.
Is SOC 2 mandatory?
SOC 2 is not legally mandatory, but it has become a business prerequisite for selling to US and international enterprises. 90% of enterprise RFPs require a SOC 2 report. It is a major competitive advantage that accelerates sales cycles.
