Frequently Asked Questions (Australia)
Do I need an Australian SOC 2 auditor?
Generally, yes. Australian auditors work in your time zone (AEST/AEDT), invoice in AUD, and can issue dual reports for SOC 2 (US market) and ASAE 3150 / ASAE 3402 (Australian market). They understand local regulations like the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
How much does a SOC 2 audit cost in Australia?
In 2026, typical costs for Australian firms are: Specialist firms (AUD $12K-$35K), Mid-tier firms (AUD $35K-$70K), and Big Four firms (AUD $70K-$160K+). Prices vary based on complexity and scope.
Can I use a US auditor for my Australian company?
Yes, but time zone differences (often 14-16 hours) make communication difficult. Most Australian tech companies prefer local auditors who can provide real-time support and dual compliance reports (SOC 2 + ASAE).
What is the timeline for an Australian SOC 2 audit?
Type 1 audits typically take 2-6 weeks. Type 2 audits require an observation period of 3-12 months. Local auditors can often expedite the readiness phase due to familiarity with local business practices.
