Assurance Program Fees
Application Fees – 3-year Program Cycle
Invoices will be sent after the ARB accepts the initial application. Any questions or concerns should be sent to secretariat@kantarainitiative.org.
Application fees for the second and third years of the program cycle are less than year 1 due to the smaller scope of Annual Conformity Reviews.
| Class of Approval/ Assurance Level | Year 1 | Years 2 and 3 (ACR) |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | $10,000 | $5,000 |
| NIST 800-63 rev. 3 | $20,000 | $10,000 |
Trust Mark Fees
This annual fee is per Trust Mark and is invoiced after ARB approval of a package. Any questions or concerns should be sent to secretariat@kantarainitiative.org.
| Class of Approval/ Assurance Level | Annual Fee |
|---|---|
| Classic | $3,000 |
| NIST 800-63 rev. 3 | $6,000 |
Accredited Assessor Fee
This fee is paid by the Accredited Assessor to Kantara. It is NOT a fee for a CSP applying for the Assurance Program.
The Accredited Assessor fee is based on the size of the assessor’s company. An invoice is sent to the Kantara Accredited Assessor annually after ARB approval of their triennial application or annual conformity review. Any questions or concerns should be sent to secretariat@kantarainitiative.org.
| Size of Company | Annual Fee |
|---|---|
| 1 – 3 Personnel Company | $2,500 |
| 4 – 100 Personnel Company | $6,000 |
| 101 – 1,000 Personnel Company | $7,500 |
