Vanta SOC 2 Rapid Start by Uzado

Accelerate Customer Trust & Build Competitive Advantage

Uzado’s Vanta SOC 2 Type 1 Rapid Start service is designed for smaller organizations with low to moderate risk environments and limited tech stacks—ideal for businesses operating within a single cloud provider and not handling sensitive PII. For a flat annual rate, starting at $8,400 USD for Vanta Core, Uzado streamlines SOC 2 Type 1 compliance using automation, prebuilt integrations, and structured onboarding.

This includes HR/access scoping for up to 20 users, integration of one core technology, policy setup using built-in Vanta templates, and deployment of key tools like SentinelOne EDR (up to 25 devices), Lansweeper ITAM (up to 100 assets), and KnowBe4 awareness training (up to 25 users for $65/month). Add-on SOC 2 Type 1 audits can be arranged for $7,000 USD. With fast setup, reduced audit prep time, and centralized compliance visibility, this service delivers a cost-effective way to establish trust, reduce manual effort, and prepare for future Type 2 expansion.

Why Type 1 and Not Type 2?

SOC 2 Type 1 provides an audit of your design and intent today — not historical performance.
It’s faster, more affordable, and ideal for early-stage companies just formalizing their security practices.
Establishes baseline credibility and reduces delays in partner/vendor onboarding.
Type 2 is a natural next step once operations stabilize and monitoring controls mature.
