Our figure is Orbit's yearly price, with your SOC 2 Type 2 audit inside it. The other two rows bill the audit separately through a CPA firm, on top of the figure shown. The other figures are reported market midpoints from Vendr and two published SOC 2 cost guides.

Polara Labs is not a CPA firm. SOC 2 examinations are performed by independent licensed U.S. CPA firms. Polara Labs is not a certification body. Certification audits are performed by independent accredited certification bodies.

We are bootstrapped. So the audit is in the price.

  • No investors to grow into. One yearly price, your SOC 2 Type 2 audit inside it. See every price

  • Independent by design. The CPA firm writes its own opinion. Nothing in your report is made up. Our ethics commitment

Five questions founders ask first.

Sign up and answer the intake, with nothing to pay and no card to enter, and you get a readiness score out of 100, every gap category with exact counts, and two or three of your own findings written out in full. If it finds gaps, your account opens a free workspace where you see every gap with its steps, close gaps and upload up to ten proof files. AI help, policy writing beyond one sample policy, the report and the audit come with a paid plan, and there is no free report to download.
Star is $2,000 one time. Orbit is $7,800 a year and Constellation is $10,800 a year, each with your SOC 2 Type 2 audit included every year. The assessment is free.
Type 1 goes audit-ready starting at about a week of focused work. Intake takes about 15 minutes for the half that returns your score, and the rest can wait. Evidence upload and remediation depend on how prepared you are, but the platform tells you exactly what is needed and tracks progress live. Once you hit 100 percent, auditor review typically takes a few business days. Type 2 then runs on top, quietly, through its observation window.
They are independent partner auditors, licensed U.S. CPA firms. Polara Labs is not a CPA firm and does not issue the opinion. The specific firm on your engagement is disclosed to you on request before you sign the engagement letter, so you can verify their credentials with the state board. If you already work with a CPA firm that meets AICPA independence requirements, we can onboard them.
The industry had a recent high profile scandal where a venture backed compliance platform was caught producing hundreds of SOC 2 reports with identical boilerplate and pre written auditor conclusions. We built the opposite. Our gap analysis is a deterministic rules engine, not AI. Policies are generated from your data and fail loudly rather than fabricating claims. Examinations are performed by independent partner auditors with no referral fees. Every report is unique because every company is different. The full architecture is in our ethics commitment.
