A Trust Plan Summary Report: a written assessment of your main risks and a 90-day plan. It starts with a free eight-minute Snapshot; the full report is $2,500.

The free Snapshot is a quick, automated read. The Report explains every gap, ranks what to fix first, and is reviewed by Aetos.

A fixed-fee engagement that puts your priority fixes in place, then tests them with a Talon Peak crisis simulation.

They make difficult decisions with incomplete information, and their choices shape what happens next, allowing them to test their readiness before facing a real crisis.

Trust Partner Lite is the Aerie subscription. It gives your team Aerie, our governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform, plus expert review of the AI-generated suggestions in your plan. Your team runs the program.

Monthly plans are based on employee count: $399, $599, $899, or $1,299 per month, with 25% off your first 12 months ($299.25, $449.25, $674.25, or $974.25). Annual billing saves 15%. Companies with 200 or more employees get a custom quote.

Trust Partner is ongoing support where Aetos takes on agreed recurring work, such as security questionnaires, vendor reviews, and policy upkeep, with program guidance. It runs on Aerie.

Trust Partner starts at $2,100 per month, with rates tailored to your company’s stage. There’s no annual contract, and it comes with a 30-day guarantee.

With Trust Partner Lite, your team maintains the program and Aetos reviews the AI-generated suggestions in your plan. With Trust Partner, Aetos takes on more of the recurring work alongside your team. Both run on Aerie, so you can move up without starting over.

Aetos reviews the AI-generated suggestions included in your plan for accuracy against the available information. Your team remains responsible for its source records, business decisions, and implementation. This is not a full audit of your program.

We will discuss the work you need, whether your current plan fits, and any proposed change in scope or fees. Full Trust Partner is available for broader ongoing support.

The published standard price for your plan and billing frequency applies after the first 12 months, subject to your subscription terms.

Not in the Trust Partner Lite subscription. You can buy one separately: a Workshop Pass for $1,500, an annual license for $4,500, or a facilitated session from $3,500. Full Trust Partner may include an annual simulation as set out in your agreement.

Not always. The TPS Report can tell you whether SOC 2, ISO 27001, or neither fits your next milestone.

For a first SOC 2, most early-stage companies need about three to six months, including the auditor's time.

Yes. We can work inside the tools you already use rather than replacing them. Aerie, our GRC platform, is also available as its own subscription, and Trust Partner and Readiness Sprint clients have Aerie access for the term of their project. See the Aerie page for plans.
