BSI Group
- Readiness firm — does not issue SOC 2 reports
BSI Group is an assurance specialist SOC 2 readiness firm in London, UK, UK. Type II: $60K–$200K. Timeline: 6–18 weeks.
“We wanted to be at the forefront of delivering more efficient and sustainable solutions, quickly”
— Simon Randall, Head of Safety, Sustainability and Facilities, Aston Martin Formula One® Team
Readiness only. BSI Group prepares companies for SOC 2 but does not issue the report. You will engage a separate CPA firm for the audit itself, and keeping the two apart is what protects the auditor's independence.

Readiness for Type 2 Pricing Position
Note: Pricing shown is estimated based on typical engagements. Use our SOC 2 cost calculator for a personalized estimate.
Not a like-for-like comparison: the organization-group average and market span above are drawn from firms that price the audit itself. BSI Group's range covers readiness work only, so a lower band here does not mean a lower total cost of getting your SOC 2 report.
Timeline: The 6–18 week figure is the readiness window before your auditor is engaged, not the full engagement. A SOC 2 Type II also requires a separate observation period, typically 3–12 months depending on scope.
