SOC 2 basics
What is a SOC 2 Type 2 report?
A SOC 2 Type 2 report is an independent auditor's opinion — issued by a licensed CPA firm under AICPA standards — on whether your security controls were suitably designed and operated effectively over a review period, usually 6 to 12 months. It covers the Trust Services Criteria you select (Security is mandatory; Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy are optional).
How much does a SOC 2 Type 2 audit cost?
Published ranges put the audit fee between $7,000 and $100,000 depending on company size and scope, with first-year all-in costs (readiness, tooling, staff time) of $30,000 to $150,000 in published 2026 sources. See our cost guide and the 2026 pricing report for sourced numbers.
How long does a SOC 2 Type 2 audit take?
End to end, 9 to 15 months for a first audit: 1 to 3 months of readiness work, a 3 to 12 month observation period, and 4 to 8 weeks for the auditor to issue the report. See the timeline.
Who can issue a SOC 2 report?
Only a licensed CPA firm can issue a SOC 2 report under AICPA attestation standards. Compliance software can prepare you, but it cannot sign the report.
