Which framework do you actually need?
Usually one, and usually the one your buyer named in an email. We sell two, from $2,000, and both run end to end here on one questionnaire and one evidence trail. Whoever signs at the end is independent of us.
The two we sell. SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
SOC 2 and ISO 27001 answer almost every blocked enterprise deal. One questionnaire, one evidence trail, a published price, and an independent firm signing at the end.
Four different things get called compliance.
What you hand a buyer at the end is not the same for every framework, and the difference decides who signs it and what it costs.
| Outcome | Who issues it | What you hand a buyer | Sold here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attestation report | An independent licensed U.S. CPA firm | A signed report an enterprise buyer reads under a non-disclosure agreement | SOC 2 |
| Certificate | An independent accredited certification body | A certificate with an expiry date and annual surveillance behind it | ISO 27001 |
| Self-validation | You, to whoever accepts it: an acquirer, a payment brand, a government system | A completed assessment and a signed attestation or a posted score | Not sold here |
| Readiness program | Nobody, because no certificate exists for these | A documented, evidenced program a buyer or a regulator can review | Not sold here |
Polara Labs is not a CPA firm. SOC 2 examinations are performed by independent licensed U.S. CPA firms. Polara Labs is not a certification body. Certification audits are performed by independent accredited certification bodies.
Your buyer asked for something else.
HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-171, CMMC and ISO 42001 are real requirements and we do not sell them today. We would rather say that than sell you a page. Most of the work overlaps with SOC 2 and ISO 27001, so the honest first question is usually whether one of those already satisfies the buyer who asked. Tell us what they sent you and we will say so either way.
