SOC 2 Vendor Compare

SOC 2 software calculator: re-weight the vendor scores

Short answer

Set how much each criterion matters to you from 0 to 10. The six vendors are re-ranked in the page using the same criterion scores as our rankings. Only Secureframe publishes a starting price, so cost is shown for Secureframe alone.

By the SOC 2 Vendor Compare ledger desk · Reviewed 2026-09-29 · Editorial assessment

The sliders start at our published weights, halved to fit the 0 to 10 scale: 9 for frameworks, integrations and experts, 7 for the audit path, 6 for pricing transparency and 5 each for AI and trust center. At those values the ranking matches the main ledger. Setting a slider to 0 removes that criterion.

What matters to you?

  • 9

    How many frameworks the vendor states it supports and whether controls are mapped once and reused across frameworks.

  • 9

    The integration count the vendor publishes and how evidence collection is automated. A vendor that publishes no count scores lower because a buyer cannot check it before a demo.

  • 9

    Who does the compliance work with you: a dedicated in-house expert, a partner network, or a support desk, as the vendor describes it.

  • 7

    How you get from readiness to an audit report: in-house audit, a built-in partner auditor network, or bring your own auditor.

  • 6

    Whether a buyer can see a price, plan names and plan limits before talking to sales.

  • 5

    Named AI features on the vendor's own pages (questionnaires, policies, evidence review, remediation, vendor risk). Vendor performance claims are not scored.

  • 5

    A customer-facing trust center and security questionnaire automation, including published allowances.

Re-weighted score = sum of (criterion score x your weight) / sum of your weights. Criterion scores are 0 to 10 and come from our rankings. Value = re-weighted score / (published starting price / 1,000), shown only where a vendor publishes a price.

Scores are editorial and come from public vendor pages read on 2026-09-29. Prices are as published on that date.

Questions buyers ask

How does the SOC 2 calculator work?

Each vendor keeps its seven criterion scores. Your slider values replace our weights, and the page recomputes a weighted average for each vendor and sorts them.

Why is there no seat or headcount price?

None of the six vendors publishes a per-seat or per-employee price. Secureframe publishes a starting price of $7,500/year for its Fundamentals plan; the others quote after a call.

What do the must-haves do?

They flag vendors that do not meet a requirement based on what each vendor publishes, for example an in-house audit or a published price. Flagged vendors stay visible but drop below the ones that qualify.

Why does the order change so much when I move the experts slider?

Scores on the expert guidance model range from 4 to 10, a six-point spread, and it starts at one of the highest weights, so moving it has a large effect on the ranking.
