What might ISO 27001 or SOC 2 cost you?
A few questions, an indicative cost and timeline band. Grounded in our published cost guides — a planning aid, not a fixed quote.

Indicative estimate
₹2.5–3.5 lakh
all-in, for ISO 27001
Readiness timeline: 9–12 months
Indicative only — your actual scope determines this. Not a fixed quote and not a guaranteed certification timeline.
What drives the cost
Four components explain most of the variation between quotes.
- Readiness work — gap analysis, control design, policies, and evidence support
- Audit fees — the accredited certification body (ISO 27001) or the licensed CPA firm (SOC 2)
- Tooling — any logging, MDM, or scanning gaps the controls require
- Internal time — the hours your team spends gathering evidence and closing gaps
Ranges here are grounded in our ISO 27001 and SOC 2 cost guides. For ISO 27001 the certification body bills its own audit fee. For SOC 2 the estimate is all-in, including the independent CPA attestation. TCSA is the consultant that prepares you.
Cost estimator — common questions
Why show a range instead of a single number?
Because your actual scope sets the price. Two companies of the same headcount can land far apart depending on how many systems and cloud accounts are in scope, which Trust Services Criteria you include, and how much is already in place. The band here is a planning aid. The firm figure comes from a short scoping call and is then quoted as one fixed fee.
What drives the cost most?
Scope and starting point, more than headcount. Bigger or more complex infrastructure means more controls to design and more evidence to collect, and starting from scratch costs more than walking in with controls already running. The audit fee itself — the certification body for ISO 27001, the CPA firm for SOC 2 — is a smaller, fairly predictable slice.
Does the timeline include the SOC 2 Type II observation window?
Yes when you choose SOC 2 Type II on its own: it shows 14–16 weeks end to end, which is 2–4 weeks of readiness, then the 12-week minimum observation window. With ISO 27001 + SOC 2, the timeline shown is ISO readiness work, and the SOC 2 Type II figure appears beneath it. For everything else, the timeline shown is readiness work — getting your controls designed, implemented, and evidenced. If a customer deadline is in play, the observation window is why starting early matters.
Is this a quote?
No. It is an indicative estimate based on a few inputs, grounded in our published cost guides. It is not a fixed price or a commitment, and it is not a guaranteed certification timeline. Share your scope and we will give you a fixed-fee quote for your situation.
