Vanta
Vanta automated the SOC 2 audit process and has become the category leader for compliance automation, now covering SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS. Pricing starts around $7,500/year for SOC 2; scales with framework count and company size. Used by 8,000+ companies.
Vanta is the default recommendation for B2B SaaS companies that need SOC 2 to close enterprise deals - the brand recognition alone opens procurement conversations. If budget is tight, Sprinto costs roughly half and covers the same frameworks; Drata is worth evaluating if you have complex multi-framework needs.
