Does Secureframe publish its pricing?

No. Secureframe does not publish pricing on its website. The pricing page shows three plan tiers — Fundamentals, Complete, and a third tier — but all require a sales conversation for a quote. Third-party procurement platforms (Vendr, Spendflo, ComplyJet) provide the most reliable public benchmarks for actual contract values.

What are Secureframe's pricing tiers?

Secureframe has two primary tiers: Fundamentals and Complete. Fundamentals covers core evidence automation, basic questionnaire automation, standard vendor risk, and a basic trust center. Complete adds advanced questionnaire automation, advanced trust center features, advanced risk and third-party risk management, SSO/SCIM, and additional workspaces. Enterprise pricing is custom-quoted.

Can you negotiate Secureframe pricing?

Yes. Multi-year commitments, end-of-quarter signing, and competitive offers from Vanta or Drata are the most effective negotiation levers. Secureframe also charges approximately $7,500 per additional framework beyond the base plan — negotiating multi-framework bundles upfront yields better per-framework economics.

Does Secureframe offer EU data residency?

Secureframe offers a European-region hosting option via AWS London. That gives buyers a UK-based regional deployment option, but AWS London is not in an EU member state. If you need true EU-only residency, confirm the exact infrastructure region, DPA wording, and whether UK hosting is acceptable under your internal policy and sector rules before signing.

Secureframe's pricing page lists three plans with no prices — just a contact form. This guide fills that gap with verified procurement data, a full breakdown of what each tier includes, and the costs European buyers most often miss.

TL;DR

Secureframe pricing is fully custom-quoted. Based on Vendr procurement data, the median annual contract is approximately $20,000/year, ranging from $7,733 to $32,575. Small teams with one framework start around $7,500–$15,000/year. Growth-stage companies pay $20,000–$45,000/year. Enterprise contracts with multiple frameworks and advanced automation exceed $60,000–$100,000+/year. Each additional framework adds approximately $7,500. Secureframe now offers a European-region hosting option via AWS London, but that is UK hosting rather than EU-member-state residency [1][2].

Secureframe's Pricing Tiers

Secureframe's pricing structure revolves around two main plan tiers — Fundamentals and Complete — with enterprise pricing custom-quoted. Based on aggregated procurement data [1][3]:

Tier	Approx. Annual Price	Typical Use Case
Fundamentals	$7,500–$20,000/year	One framework (SOC 2 or ISO 27001), startup or small team, basic automation
Complete	$20,000–$45,000/year	Multiple frameworks, advanced questionnaire automation, advanced trust center
Enterprise	$60,000–$100,000+/year	Large teams, multi-framework, multi-workspace, full suite

The primary cost drivers are not tier alone, but: number of employees (used to scope evidence collection), number of active compliance frameworks, number of workspaces, and the level of support tier selected [1][3].

What Fundamentals Includes

The Fundamentals plan covers the core compliance workflow: infrastructure monitoring, custom frameworks and controls, evidence collection, personnel management, risk management, policy management, and access to Secureframe's Trust Center. It is targeted at companies pursuing their first certification — typically SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 — with a small team and limited integration requirements [3].

What Complete Adds

Complete unlocks advanced questionnaire automation (AI-powered responses to inbound security questionnaires), advanced Trust Center capabilities, advanced risk management, advanced third-party risk management, SSO and SCIM connections, and additional workspaces as an add-on. This tier is designed for companies managing multiple compliance programmes simultaneously or with active security review workflows from enterprise customers [3].

Add-Ons That Increase Total Cost

The base tier price typically covers one compliance framework. Real-world costs grow as organisations add:

Additional compliance frameworks — Each framework beyond the base plan adds approximately $7,500/year. Secureframe supports 45+ pre-built frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, NIS2, and CMMC. Companies pursuing ISO 27001 and NIS2 in the same year face meaningful incremental costs [1][2].

Additional workspaces — Multi-entity setups (common for European companies with separate legal entities per country) require additional workspaces, priced as an add-on at the Complete tier and above.

Advanced questionnaire automation — Available in the Complete tier. Companies on Fundamentals who want AI-powered questionnaire responses must upgrade.

Premium support tiers — Secureframe offers different support levels, and higher support tiers increase the base price. Enterprise-tier support with a dedicated customer success manager is priced separately.

Implementation and onboarding — Implementation fees vary by complexity. Always ask explicitly whether onboarding costs are included in the quoted price.

What You Actually Pay: Procurement Benchmark Data

The most reliable source for actual Secureframe contract values is Vendr, which aggregates anonymised purchase data [2][4]:

Median annual contract: ~$20,000/year (Vendr data)
Reported range: $7,733–$32,575
Typical pricing by company stage: $7,500–$15,000/year (small teams), $20,000–$45,000/year (growth-stage), $60,000–$100,000+/year (mid-market enterprise)
Average deal price: approximately $20,500/year

By comparison: Vanta's median contract is approximately $20,000/year (320 purchases), Drata's average is ~$25,000/year (Vendr), and Sprinto's median is $15,000/year (7 purchases). Secureframe sits in a similar range to Vanta for typical buyers [2].

Hidden Costs to Budget For

Per-framework add-on pricing. The most significant hidden cost in Secureframe's model is the ~$7,500 per additional framework charge. A company starting with SOC 2 and adding ISO 27001 and NIS2 the following year is looking at $15,000+ in incremental annual spend on top of the base plan. Budget for your full compliance roadmap at initial negotiation, not just your first framework [1][2].

Renewal increases. Like most compliance platforms, Secureframe contracts typically include annual price escalators of 5–10% at renewal. Multi-year deals lock in initial rates.

Audit fees are separate. Secureframe does not include external audit costs. Expect to budget $8,000–$50,000 per framework for your certification audit, invoiced directly by your certification body or audit firm [2].

Alert management overhead. Continuous monitoring generates a stream of control failures and exceptions. For smaller teams without dedicated GRC functions, this requires ongoing triage time — typically 2–5 hours per week.

Multiple G2 reviewers note pricing discovery issues. Several verified G2 reviews indicate that the full cost model (particularly per-framework fees and workspace pricing) only becomes clear mid-sales-cycle rather than upfront [5].

How to Negotiate Secureframe Pricing

Buyers with leverage consistently achieve better outcomes [1][2]:

Bundle frameworks upfront. If your compliance roadmap includes SOC 2 now and ISO 27001 or NIS2 in the next 18 months, negotiate all frameworks into the initial contract. Per-framework pricing at expansion is consistently higher than at initial sign — and the $7,500/framework figure reflects expansion pricing, not initial bundle rates.

Multi-year commitment. A 2-year deal typically locks in the initial rate and may unlock 10–15% additional savings. Given annual price escalators, multi-year deals are especially valuable at Secureframe's higher tiers.

Competitive quotes. Request pricing from Vanta or Drata before finalising a Secureframe deal. Sales representatives have flexibility when presented with a competing offer.

End-of-quarter timing. Secureframe runs on standard US quarter-ends (March, June, September, December). Signing in the final two weeks of a quarter typically yields more flexibility on price.

Workspace bundling. If you're a multi-entity company, negotiate workspaces into the initial contract rather than purchasing separately at expansion pricing.

The EU Angle: Secureframe's Data Residency Progress

For European companies, Secureframe has made meaningful progress on data residency — but buyers should still verify specifics.

AWS London data center. Secureframe launched a European data center on AWS London infrastructure, giving European customers a regional hosting option outside the United States [6]. That is a meaningful improvement from its earlier US-only posture, but it should be described as UK-based regional hosting, not as guaranteed EU-member-state residency.

Important nuance: UK is not EU. AWS London is in the United Kingdom, not in an EU member state. For companies with strict EU data residency requirements (particularly under NIS2 essential service designation or DORA), the UK's post-Brexit status means AWS London may not satisfy an EU-only data residency requirement. Verify your DPA terms and confirm whether your data is being processed in an AWS EU region (e.g., Frankfurt, Ireland) versus AWS London specifically.

GDPR compliance support. Secureframe includes GDPR as one of its 45+ pre-built frameworks, with controls mapped to Articles 5, 25, 32, and related requirements. This is useful for GDPR programme management, but framework coverage is not the same as data residency confirmation.

NIS2 and DORA framework mappings. Secureframe provides pre-built control mappings for NIS2 Article 21 requirements and DORA ICT risk management obligations. As with other US-origin platforms, these are framework overlays on a SOC 2-first architecture — verify that the depth of NIS2/DORA coverage meets your specific supervisory expectations before committing.

How Orbiq Approaches Pricing Differently

Orbiq is a standalone EU Trust Center with published pricing and a free tier — no sales conversation required to evaluate whether the cost fits your budget.

The structural difference matters: Orbiq is built natively for EU companies that already have compliance processes in place (whether ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA, or an internal programme). You are not purchasing a GRC compliance automation platform to access a Trust Center — you are buying the Trust Center directly.

Orbiq is headquartered in Hamburg, processes data on EU infrastructure, and treats GDPR, NIS2, DORA, and ISO 27001 as primary frameworks — not as control mappings added to a SOC 2 foundation.
