What affects your certification cost?
Five factors move the number the most: the scope (which sites, systems, and products are covered), your company size and headcount, your current readiness (how many controls already exist), the certification body's audit fees (billed separately from preparation), and whether you pursue several standards together, which shares controls and lowers the combined cost.
