Small organizations of less than 20 people can get a cheap audit for around $5,000 and a very good audit for around $7,500. We’ve seen quotes for larger organizations (600+ personnel) get quoted for around $20k. Most of the expense of getting compliant comes in the form of building the control environment and having the staff to managed, monitor, and operate the controls. A highly qualified information security professional typically costs an organization $150k – $200k annually. Genius GRC’s pricing is typically about 70% cheaper than hiring a full-time cybersecurity expert. See our pricing page for transparent pricing. You don’t even need to engage with us to find out what you should budget. Note that pricing is re-evaluated quarterly.
