Strike Graph pricing and what each plan and add-on costs per year
Strike Graph is one of the few compliance platforms that prints real numbers on its pricing page. The plan price is only the start, though. Extra frameworks, vendor risk, pen tests and the audit itself are priced line by line, and that is where a year-one budget doubles.

How much does Strike Graph cost per year?
Strike Graph Scale starts at $21,500 a year and Enterprise starts at $35,000 a year, according to strikegraph.com/pricing as read on October 23, 2026. The Certify plan shows no price and asks you to inquire, and a free Launch tier covers only the SOC 2 security criteria with limited templates. The audit fee is not included: Strike Graph says audit costs are "set directly by the auditor" you pick from its partner network.
Most of the real cost sits in add-ons. Each plan includes one framework, and a second one costs $2,000 to $8,000 a year depending on the plan and the framework tier. ISO 27001 is a Tier 2 framework, so adding it to SOC 2 runs $5,000 a year on Certify or $3,000 on Scale. Third-party risk management (Trust Chain) is $7,500 to $30,000 a year by vendor count, a penetration test is $10,000, and a quarterly vulnerability scan is $4,000 to $5,000.
A worked example: a SaaS company on Scale that needs SOC 2 and ISO 27001 plus one pen test is looking at about $33,500 in year one before the auditor, $21,500 for the plan with ISO 27001 as its included framework, $2,000 to add SOC 2 as a Tier 1 framework and $10,000 for the test.
Complies is a smaller purchase. It publishes $47, $119, $299 and $499 a month at the yearly rate, with SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA and PCI DSS cross-mapped on one control set from Growth at $1,428 a year, and no per-framework fee.
Complies assists with compliance workflows. It is not legal advice, and it does not certify you or guarantee audit outcomes. Your auditor decides; Complies gets you ready.
Three line items that decide what Strike Graph really costs you
Which framework tier you are buying
Strike Graph sorts frameworks into three tiers. SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR and NIST CSF are Tier 1. ISO 27001, PCI DSS and ISO 42001 are Tier 2. CMMC Level 2, HITRUST, NIST 800-53 and DORA are Tier 3. Certify comes with one Tier 1 framework, so a company that needs ISO 27001 on Certify pays for an extra Tier 2 framework on top. Know which tier your first certification falls in before you compare plans.
compliance control mappingHow many frameworks you add after the first
Every plan includes one framework. Each additional one is priced per year: $3,000, $5,000 or $8,000 on Certify by tier, and $2,000, $3,000 or $5,000 on Scale and Enterprise. A team running SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA on Certify adds $8,000 a year before anything else. Ask how evidence is shared across frameworks so you do not pay twice for the same control work.
automated evidence collectionServices sold next to the software
Strike Graph prices services on the same page: a penetration test at $10,000, a quarterly vulnerability scan at $4,000 to $5,000, an ISO 27001 internal audit at $7,000 to $8,000, and vendor risk management from $7,500. Bundling is convenient. It also means the first invoice can be twice the plan price, so separate the software line from the services line when you compare quotes.

Published prices were read on the vendor page on the date shown. Broker medians come from Vendr with their sample size. Every figure is software only and excludes the auditor.
| Platform | Published price | Starting or median price per year | Built for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strike Graph | Yes for Scale and Enterprise. Certify on inquiry | Scale from $21,500, Enterprise from $35,000 (strikegraph.com, Oct 23, 2026) | SOC 2, ISO 27001 and CMMC programs that want audits and pen tests bundled |
| Vanta | No | Median about $20,000, range $7,500 to $57,207, 374 purchases (Vendr, Feb 2026) | Funded startups and growth companies doing SOC 2 first |
| Drata | No | Median $24,868, range $9,649 to $60,000 (Vendr, Feb 2026) | Startups and growth companies that want automated tests |
| Secureframe | Partly. Fundamentals only | Fundamentals starts at $7,500 for one framework (secureframe.com, Oct 23, 2026) | Startups that want one framework with guided onboarding |
| Hicomply | Yes | Essentials $6,995, Professional $13,995, renewals up 10% a year (hicomply.com) | Teams whose first certification is ISO 27001 |
| Complies | Yes, on the pricing page | $564 to $5,988 a year ($47 to $499 a month billed yearly) | Companies of 5 to 200 people running SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR or PCI DSS |
The Strike Graph floor is the Scale plan at $21,500, which already sits above the Vanta median. Certify is likely cheaper, but it has no published number, so you only learn it on a call. Complies is not a feature match for Strike Graph. It has no CMMC or FedRAMP content, no in-house pen testing and no auditor network. It is compliance software for a smaller team that needs SOC 2, ISO 27001 or HIPAA run on a calendar with owners and evidence. Compare these platforms feature by feature on Vanta alternatives, Drata alternatives and Secureframe alternatives.
What the Strike Graph pricing page actually says, checked on October 23, 2026
Third-party cost sites disagree on whether Strike Graph charges per user or per company and whether a free tier exists. Here is what the primary source shows when you open it.
| Line on strikegraph.com/pricing | What it says | Price shown | What it means for your budget |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plans | Launch, Certify, Scale and Enterprise | Launch free, Certify "Inquire below", Scale from $21,500 a year, Enterprise from $35,000 a year | Prices are per company per year, not per user |
| Frameworks included | One Tier 1 framework on Certify, one framework of any tier on Scale and Enterprise | Extra framework $2,000 to $8,000 a year | ISO 27001 and PCI DSS are Tier 2, CMMC Level 2 is Tier 3 |
| Trust Chain vendor risk | Priced by vendor count | $7,500 for 25 vendors on Certify, $10,000 for 60 on Scale, up to $30,000 unlimited | A separate line, not part of the base plan |
| Security services | Pen test, mobile app pen test, quarterly vulnerability scan | $10,000 pen test, $4,000 to $5,000 scan | Useful if you have no testing vendor yet, optional if you do |
| The audit | "Pricing set directly by the auditor" from its partner network | None for SOC 2 attestation | Budget the CPA firm on top of everything above |
Vendr lists Strike Graph and its four plans but shows no median, so the vendor page is the only reliable source. Third-party sites quoting $750 to $1,500 "per user per month" conflict with the per-year figures Strike Graph prints itself. Trust the primary source and ask for an itemized quote.
What Complies gives a smaller team instead, and what it does not
A price you can read before any call
Starter $47 a month, Growth $119, Scale $299 and Enterprise $499 at the yearly rate, or roughly double that billed monthly. The software line goes into a budget today without a discovery call.
Five frameworks with no tier surcharge
From Growth, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA and PCI DSS map to the same controls. Adding ISO 27001 to SOC 2 costs nothing extra, so one access review or policy approval counts toward every framework it satisfies.
Evidence logged against controls
Connect AWS, GitHub, Google Workspace, Okta or Microsoft Entra and record evidence against the controls it proves, with an owner and a date on every item, so your auditor gets a folder that reads in control order.
Vendor risk inside the plan
From Growth you get a vendor register tiered by the data each vendor can reach, with SOC 2 reports, questionnaires and renewal dates tracked. There is no per-vendor fee for the SOC 2 CC9.2 and ISO 27001 A.5.19 work.
Obligations with owners and due dates
Access reviews, policy reviews, vendor reviews and control tests each become a dated task with a named person, chased before it goes stale.
What you give up, said plainly
No CMMC, HITRUST or FedRAMP content, no pen testing or vulnerability scanning, and no auditor network. If you need those bought from one vendor, Strike Graph sells them and Complies does not.
How to get a comparable Strike Graph number in one sales cycle
List your frameworks by tier
Write down every framework you need this year and next, then sort them into Strike Graph tiers. SOC 2 is Tier 1, ISO 27001 is Tier 2, CMMC Level 2 is Tier 3. That list decides whether Certify or Scale is the cheaper plan.
Separate software from services
Ask for the plan, each extra framework, vendor risk, pen test and scan as separate lines. If you already have a pen test vendor or a vendor review process, strike those lines and compare the software alone.
Get the auditor quote separately
Strike Graph says the auditor sets audit pricing. Ask two CPA firms for a SOC 2 quote on the same scope so the year-one total is complete before you sign.
Price the smaller route next to it
If your real job is one or two certifications for one company, price a published-price tool plus your own auditor for the same scope. If the bundled route still wins on the work you need, sign it with a documented reason.
Who this is for, and who it is not
A GOOD FIT WHEN
- You are holding a Strike Graph quote and want to see each line item against the published page.
- You need SOC 2 now and ISO 27001 next and want to know what the second framework adds.
- You already have a pen test vendor and do not want to pay for testing inside a compliance contract.
- You want SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR on one control set without a per-framework fee.
- You are a 5 to 200 person company that wants to start the same day without a sales cycle.
LOOK ELSEWHERE WHEN
- You need CMMC Level 2, NIST 800-171 or FedRAMP content and tooling.
- You want pen testing, vulnerability scans and the audit bought from one vendor.
- You need HITRUST, TISAX or DORA frameworks maintained in the tool.
- You want Strike Graph's AI products, such as Atlas AI and Verify AI, inside the contract.
- You need enterprise workspaces or an evidence API for many business units.
Questions buyers ask about Strike Graph pricing
Strike Graph Scale starts at $21,500 a year and Enterprise at $35,000 a year, per its own pricing page read on October 23, 2026. Certify shows no price and is quoted on inquiry, and Launch is a free tier limited to the SOC 2 security criteria. Extra frameworks, vendor risk, pen tests and the audit are priced separately.
No. The plan prices on strikegraph.com/pricing are per company per year. Some third-party cost sites quote $750 to $1,500 per user per month, but that conflicts with the per-year figures Strike Graph publishes itself. Ask for an itemized quote and check it against the vendor page.
No. Strike Graph says audit costs depend on the independent auditor you choose from its partner network, with pricing set directly by the auditor. It sells an ISO 27001 internal audit for $7,000 to $8,000 a year, but the external SOC 2 attestation is a separate contract with a CPA firm.
ISO 27001 is a Tier 2 framework on Strike Graph, so adding it costs $5,000 a year on Certify and $3,000 a year on Scale or Enterprise. Scale and Enterprise include one framework of any tier, so a company that only needs ISO 27001 can use it as the included framework.
Yes, the Launch tier is free, but it covers only the SOC 2 security trust services criterion with limited policy templates and document-storage integrations. It is a starting point for scoping, not a tier you can take through a full SOC 2 audit with evidence collection from your cloud stack.
Trust Chain is priced by vendor count: $7,500 a year for 25 vendors on Certify, $10,000 for 60 on Scale, $16,000 for 150 on Enterprise, and $30,000 for unlimited vendors on Enterprise. It is a separate line on top of the plan, not part of the base subscription.
For SOC 2 and ISO 27001 at a smaller company, Secureframe publishes $7,500 a year for one framework, Hicomply publishes $6,995 and $13,995, and Complies publishes $47 to $499 a month with five frameworks cross-mapped from $119. Vanta and Drata do not publish prices but sit around $20,000 to $25,000 at the Vendr median.
It can be if you need CMMC, HITRUST or several frameworks plus pen testing and scanning from one vendor, because buying those separately takes coordination. If you need one or two certifications and already have a testing partner, you pay for bundled services you will not use.
