For a 25-200 person Massachusetts business, ISpectra's average SOC 2 Type I is 6 weeks from kickoff to attestation, and SOC 2 Type II is 4 months including the observation window. Larger Massachusetts enterprises and multi-entity groups typically run 10-16 weeks for Type I + Type II together.
A fully loaded SOC 2 budget — consulting, licensed CPA audit fees, compliance automation (Drata, Sprinto or Secureframe) and policy implementation — typically lands between USD 10,000 and USD 50,000 for a sub-200-person Massachusetts business. Our written fixed-fee quote covers everything except the licensed CPA firm's direct invoice.
SOC 2 Type 1 is a point-in-time attestation that Massachusetts-headquartered businesses use to unlock enterprise procurement conversations quickly. SOC 2 Type 2 evaluates control effectiveness over a 3-12 month observation window and is the report Fortune 500 buyers typically demand. Most Massachusetts clients run Type 1 first to unlock revenue, then continue straight into Type 2.
