  • External audit fees: Annual SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audits cost $8,000-$25,000, not included in Secureframe pricing
  • Penetration testing: Required for many frameworks, costs $5,000-$15,000 annually, typically not bundled
  • Premium support tier: Additional 15-20% of license cost annually for dedicated support beyond standard hours
  • Renewal price increases: Costs can increase 15-25% at renewal, especially when adding employees or frameworks

05 Is Secureframe worth the price?

Secureframe provides excellent value for small to mid-size companies pursuing compliance certifications. At $7,500-$20,500/year, Secureframe is positioned as a cost-effective alternative to Vanta and Drata while still offering automated evidence collection, continuous monitoring across 150+ integrations, and security questionnaire automation.

Secureframe's $7,500-$50,000 pricing makes it one of the more affordable enterprise-grade options, especially for startups and companies with up to 100 employees.

07 What discounts does Secureframe offer?

Secureframe does not publicly advertise standard discounts. However, customers report negotiating 10-20% discounts through: multi-year contract commitments (2-3 years), quarter-end timing (especially Q4), competitive quotes from Vanta or Drata, annual upfront payment, and commitment to public case study or reference. Startups should ask about reduced pricing for early-stage companies under 50 employees.

Contracts are generally 12-month commitments with automatic renewal unless canceled 30-60 days before term end.

11 Can I negotiate Secureframe pricing?

Yes, Secureframe pricing is negotiable since all plans use custom quotes. Best negotiation strategies: obtain competitive quotes from Vanta, Drata, or Sprinto; commit to multi-year contracts (2-3 years for 15-25% discount); time discussions for quarter-end (especially Q4); negotiate annual upfront payment for 5-10% savings; and offer to serve as case study or reference customer. For deals over $20,000, expect 15-25% discount potential off initial quote.
