Short answer: Most compliance automation software does not publish pricing and quotes $7,500 to $30,000 or more per year behind a sales call, often with per-framework upsells. Strac Comply publishes a flat ladder instead: $4,995 Platform, $8,995 Certified with the SOC 2 audit, and $12,995 Security-First with a penetration test and DLP, all five frameworks on every plan. This post breaks down every line item so you can compare apples to apples.
One clarification, because this post lives on Strac.io. The prices here are for Strac Comply, Strac’s compliance product: $4,995 Platform, $8,995 Certified (adds the SOC 2 audit and a human vCISO), and $12,995 Security-First (adds a penetration test plus Strac DLP for Slack, Google Workspace, and AI tools). The full Strac data-security platform, endpoint DLP, cloud DSPM, and MCP DLP, is licensed separately. So $4,995 is the price of Strac Comply, not of Strac’s DLP or DSPM.
The ranges below are reported by buyers because these vendors do not publish public pricing. That is the point: a hidden number moves with your company size and framework count. Strac Comply publishes its ladder so you can budget without a call.
