Option 1: Project-Based Pricing
Best for clients who know exactly what they need. This pricing model has a defined scope, clear deliverables, and structured timelines. Ideal when there is a specific outcome in mind.

Examples of project-based work:

·       • SOC 2 or ISO readiness audit

·       • Full compliance audit

·       • Creating or updating a few policies

·       • Developing an employee handbook or manual

Option 2: Hourly Set Rate
Best for ongoing compliance support or when the project scope isn’t fully defined upfront. This model offers flexibility and consistent support based on your evolving needs.

Pricing depends on several key factors. This guide explains each factor clearly so you understand what affects your costs and why.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

1. Regulatory Complexity

How many rules, laws, and industry standards your organization must follow.

·       Low complexity → Fewer laws = lower pricing

·       High complexity → Strict or overlapping laws = higher pricing

Example: A small retail shop has fewer rules than a healthcare provider handling patient records.

2. Volume of Compliance Needs

How much work needs to be done to stay compliant, including policies, audits, reports, and filings.

·       Low volume → Minimal reports and oversight = lower pricing

·       High volume → Frequent audits and multiple frameworks = higher pricing

Example: One annual compliance review costs less than monitoring dozens of ongoing reports each quarter.

3. Organization Scale & Structure

The size and setup of your company.

·       Small setup → Fewer employees and policies = lower pricing

·       Large, multi-layered setup → Multiple departments and divisions = higher pricing

Example: A 10-person local business is simpler than a 500-employee company with offices across states.

4. Geographic Reach

Where your company operates. More locations mean more rules to follow.

·       Single location → One set of rules = lower pricing

·       Multi-state or international → Overlapping laws = higher pricing

Example: A local company in Washington follows fewer rules than a business working across five countries.

5. Risk Exposure

How likely your organization is to face fines, lawsuits, or penalties.

·       Low risk → Minimal sensitive data = lower pricing

·       High risk → Sensitive data, financial transactions, or safety concerns = higher pricing

Example: A gaming commission or hospital has higher risk than a small bookkeeping firm.

6. Training & Staff Support

How much employee training and ongoing compliance support you need.

·       Minimal training → Short sessions or refreshers = lower pricing

·       Ongoing programs → Regular training, testing, and certification = higher pricing
