    What pushes a quote up

    FrameworksEach extra audit, such as ISO or HIPAA, adds cost.
    Company sizeMore staff and devices mean a bigger quote.
    Trust CenterThe public security page is an add on, about $6,000 a year.
    RenewalFirst year discounts often vanish at renewal.
    TermMulti year deals carry better rates.

    Watch out for the year two jump

    Vanta often gives a big discount in the first year, sometimes 50 to 70 percent off list. When that ends, renewal quotes are reported to jump 40 to 100 percent. Buyers on review sites say this catches them out more than anything else.

    So budget for the full price from day one. Ask the rep for the year two price in writing before you sign, and ask for a cap on the rise. Vanta also asks for 60 days notice to cancel, so put that date in your calendar.

    Why you have to ask

    Like most software sold by a sales team, Vanta keeps its pricing off the website. Every quote is custom, and the gap between a small deal and a large one is wide. We built the ranges here from reported deals so you have a number before the first call.

    Pricing is per year, whole contract, so the main levers in the quote are the tier you pick and the setup fee, not the headcount.

    How to judge the quote in your hand

    Ways to pay less

    Before you decide

    Remember the auditor. Vanta collects the evidence, but a separate audit firm has to sign off, and that firm bills you directly, about $10,000 to $50,000 a year depending on the framework. Budget for both before you promise a customer a SOC 2 report.

    It also pays to know why you need the audit. If one big customer asked for SOC 2, start with SOC 2 only. Add ISO 27001 or HIPAA when a real deal needs it, not before.

    One more tip: ask whether the Trust Center, the public page where customers see your security status, is included. It is often an add on at about $6,000 a year.
