Drata ISO 27001 Cost: The Only Listing With a Named ISO 27001 Price

Drata's AWS Marketplace listing publishes exactly two dimensions: a Platform Fee at $25,000 and an ISO 27001 framework fee at $7,500, each per 12-month contract. Of the five major platforms, Drata is the only one that names an ISO 27001 price you can point at. It is also the only one whose listing carries no starting-price hedge. Below is the full reading, including the flat-rate structure that is the genuinely interesting part.

What Drata publishes on AWS Marketplace

Two named dimensions, each with its own list price on a 12-month contract. AWS publishes them as independent line items and publishes no combined figure.

Published dimension	List price	Unit / capacity as stated on the listing
Platform Fee	$25,000	capacity for a 100 FTE org, per 12-month contract
ISO 27001 framework	$7,500	per 12-month contract

Read off Drata's AWS Marketplace listing, checked July 2026. List prices on that surface, not a quote. AWS shows no price-effective date.

Two dimensions, no published total

An ISO 27001 programme on Drata needs both rows: the platform and the framework are separately priced, and buying one without the other is not a coherent purchase. AWS does not add them up for you and neither does Drata. Our own arithmetic on the two published figures gives $32,500 for the pair, which is a sum we have computed and not a price either company publishes. Treat it as a floor for the published capacity band and nothing more.

The ISO 27001 line specifically

Drata's listing prices every framework at the same flat figure: SOC 2, GDPR, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, CCPA, CMMC, MS SSPA and NIST CSF are each listed at $7,500.

Read that again, because it is the fact worth carrying away from this page. ISO 27001 is widely treated as the heavyweight of the compliance frameworks: a full management system, a two-stage audit, a three-year certification cycle, an annual surveillance obligation. On Drata's published surface, none of that costs extra. ISO 27001 is priced identically to CCPA. The framework fee is a flat access charge, and the difficulty of the framework you choose does not enter into it.

The practical consequence is that Drata's published pricing gives you no reason to sequence your frameworks by cost. If you already intend to run ISO 27001, adding a second framework later costs the same published figure as the first one did. The listing prices breadth linearly.

The listing that does not hedge

Four of the five platform listings qualify their own numbers. Vanta states that pricing is tiered on company size and programme complexity. Sprinto prices frameworks “starting at” a figure. Scytale words its platform line as a starting price and asks you to get a quote. Drata does none of this: both dimensions are published as list prices, flat, unqualified.

That makes Drata's listing the most legible of the five and it does not make it the last word. What the platform fee carries instead of a hedge is a capacity statement: capacity for a 100 FTE org, per 12-month contract. That is a boundary on what the figure describes. Inside it, you know the published number. Outside it, the listing has nothing to say about you.

AWS Marketplace list prices also coexist with private offers, which are negotiated prices transacted through the same Marketplace contract and can sit either side of list. An unhedged list price is a firmer public anchor than a hedged one. It is still an anchor rather than a settled figure.

What the listing does not tell you

Anything above 100 FTE

The platform fee is published as capacity for a 100 FTE org, per 12-month contract. No dimension on the listing describes a larger organisation, and the listing offers no per-FTE rate that would let anyone extend it honestly.

What you would actually pay

List and private offer are different things. A private offer is negotiated with the vendor and transacted through the same Marketplace contract, and it can differ from list in either direction.

The certification audit

Neither dimension is an audit fee. The certificate comes from an accredited certification body, quoted per engagement. See what drives the audit quote.

The framework fee is not the audit

The $7,500 ISO 27001 dimension is the easiest figure on this site to misread, because it is the only published number in the platform market with “ISO 27001” in its name. It buys framework support inside a software platform. It does not buy a certificate.

The certificate is issued by an accredited certification body after a Stage 1 and Stage 2 audit. Those bodies work to ISO/IEC 27006-1:2024, published March 2024, whose scope clause states: “This document specifies requirements and provides guidance for bodies providing audit and certification of an information security management system (ISMS), in addition to the requirements contained within ISO/IEC 17021-1.”

Nothing in that instrument is priced on AWS Marketplace, and no certification body publishes a rate card. The audit is quoted per engagement against audit time, which is driven by your ISMS scope, complexity and sites rather than by your subscription. The audit cost page covers the drivers in full, and DIY vs consultant vs platform covers where the platform fits against the alternatives.

Drata against the other four, on published entry price

All five platforms publish list prices on AWS Marketplace. Their lowest published platform dimensions line up like this. The band column matters more than the price column: these dimensions cover different headcounts and different bundles, so this is a comparison of what each vendor publishes and not a like-for-like product ranking.

Platform	Lowest published platform dimension	List price	Band as stated
Secureframe	Access the Secureframe Platform	$7,500	up to 100 employees, per 12-month contract
Sprinto	Starter Platform	from $7,500	up to 100 employees, per 12-month contract
Scytale	Software Platform	from $7,500	bundles one framework, per 12-month contract
Vanta	Essentials Package	from $14,000	1-20 employees, per 12-month contract
Drata	Platform Fee	$25,000	capacity for a 100 FTE org, per 12-month contract

Drata publishes the highest entry platform figure of the five, and it is not close: $25,000 against the $7,500 that Secureframe, Sprinto and Scytale each publish for their entry platform dimension.

The band is what stops that being the end of the argument. Drata prices its platform fee for capacity for a 100 FTE org. Vanta's $14,000 entry package covers 1-20 employees, a fifth of the headcount. Secureframe and Sprinto publish their entry platform figures for up to 100 employees, which is the closest thing on this table to a comparable band, and Scytale's entry figure bundles a framework that Drata's platform fee does not include.

Per-vendor detail: Vanta, Secureframe, Sprinto, Scytale.

Frequently asked questions

What does Drata publish for ISO 27001 on AWS Marketplace?

Drata lists two dimensions on its AWS Marketplace listing, each on a 12-month contract (checked July 2026): a Platform Fee at $25,000, described as capacity for a 100 FTE org, per 12-month contract, and an ISO 27001 framework dimension at $7,500. Drata is the only one of the five platforms whose listing names an ISO 27001 price you can point at. The two dimensions are published separately and AWS publishes no combined figure for them.

Is ISO 27001 more expensive than SOC 2 on Drata?

No. Drata's listing prices every framework at the same flat figure: SOC 2, GDPR, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, CCPA, CMMC, MS SSPA and NIST CSF are each listed at $7,500. This is the most useful single fact on the listing. ISO 27001 carries no premium over the cheaper-to-audit frameworks and no discount against the harder ones. On the published surface, the framework you pick does not change the framework fee.

Is the $25,000 platform fee a starting price?

The listing does not hedge it. Unlike Vanta, Sprinto and Scytale, whose listings carry explicit starting-price or get-a-quote language, Drata's two dimensions are published as list prices with no qualifying wording. What the platform fee does carry is a capacity statement: capacity for a 100 FTE org, per 12-month contract. That is a ceiling on what the figure describes, not a hedge on the figure itself.

What does Drata cost above 100 FTE?

The listing does not say. The Platform Fee is published as capacity for a 100 FTE org, per 12-month contract, and no dimension on the listing describes a larger organisation. Above that capacity the published figure stops describing your scope and pricing runs through Drata directly or through an AWS private offer. We do not scale the published figure up by headcount, because the listing publishes no per-FTE rate to scale.

Does the Drata listing include the ISO 27001 certification audit?

No. Neither dimension is an audit fee. ISO 27001 certification is issued by an accredited certification body after a Stage 1 and Stage 2 audit conducted under ISO/IEC 27006-1:2024, and that body quotes per engagement. Certification bodies publish no rate cards, so the audit is a quote-only cost that sits alongside any platform subscription.

Is Drata the most expensive platform on published entry price?

On the lowest published platform dimension, yes. Drata's $25,000 Platform Fee is the highest entry platform figure of the five, above Vanta's $14,000 and well above the $7,500 that Secureframe, Sprinto and Scytale each publish. The bands differ, though: Drata's fee is published as capacity for a 100 FTE org, while Vanta's entry package covers 1-20 employees. This is a comparison of published list dimensions, not of like-for-like products.
