Orca Security Platform pricing table

Pricing checked: Sep 23, 2026

Official factConfidence 91%1 linked source

The public AWS Marketplace route has four one-month starter-pack prices, differentiated by concurrent EC2 workload capacity. A 12-month contract option is presented, but its current public prices were not exposed in the captured listing. Additional platform licensing is available through negotiated AWS Marketplace private offers.

Official pricing page
Pricing cautions
  • Starter-pack capacity is not publicly quantified: The public listing identifies Small through Large packs as concurrent-EC2-workload packs but does not disclose the workload count included in each pack.
  • Twelve-month contract pricing requires confirmation: The listing presents a 12-month contract option but the captured public price table only exposes one-month contract amounts.
  • Private-offer licensing and AWS infrastructure costs can change total spend: The listing states that additional platform licensing may be available by private offer and that additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply.

Cloud coverage and visibility18%
84

The product scans cloud workloads and identities and the marketplace listing describes visibility to IaaS and PaaS assets such as EC2, containers, and S3 buckets, which gives broad asset visibility, but the published material does not establish a complete ownership and historical-inventory field matrix.

Detection and policy depth18%
87

The product combines continuous misconfiguration monitoring, policy-violation detection, and more than 2,500 configuration controls, which indicates substantial detection and policy depth, but custom-policy authoring detail is not established publicly.

Risk prioritization and context16%
86

The product correlates risk with attack-path analysis and sensitive-data discovery, which gives findings context for prioritization, but the public material does not fully specify active-threat scoring for CSPM.

Remediation operations15%
83

The product supports auto remediation, guided remediation, and Infrastructure as Code remediation code use, which helps operational response, but the reviewed material does not prove complete closed-loop remediation across every target.

Compliance and governance13%
86

The product supports checks against more than 150 industry and regulatory frameworks and calls out mandates such as PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA, which suits governance programs, but the reviewed material does not establish a public exception-management entitlement matrix.

Detailed strengths and purchase cautions
Pros

Why it is worth considering

  • It supports continuous monitoring for cloud misconfigurations, policy violations, and compliance risks across multi-cloud estates, which suits teams that need one posture view across several cloud providers.
  • It combines attack-path scoring with sensitive-data context, so findings can be prioritized using exposure context rather than isolated configuration alerts.
  • It includes guided remediation and automation rules that can remediate detected alerts without manual intervention, which can reduce handoff work for response teams.
  • It offers Slack, Jira, and SIEM workflow integrations, which helps route findings into existing security and ticketing processes.
Cons

What to confirm before buying

  • Public pricing is tied to starter packs for concurrent EC2 workloads, but the workload count in each pack is not published, so size-to-price comparison needs vendor confirmation.
  • A 12-month contract option is shown, but the captured public price table does not expose the term-specific price, so annual commercial planning needs a quote.
  • The published material does not provide a module-by-module entitlement matrix for CSPM versus other CNAPP capabilities, so buyers should confirm what is included in the purchased package.

  • A 12-month contract option is shown, but the captured public price table does not expose the term-specific price, so annual commercial planning needs a quote.

xAIAI-assisted buyer perspective81

Orca Security Platform suits multi-cloud teams that want agentless CSPM inside a CNAPP with attack-path prioritization, 2,500-plus configuration controls, and guided or automated remediation, provided they can validate concurrent-EC2 starter-pack capacity, CNAPP module entitlements, and final AWS Marketplace or private-offer terms before purchase.

Review confidence
81/100
Model details
Strengths
  • Continuous multi-cloud misconfiguration and policy-violation monitoring is backed by more than 2,500 configuration controls across more than 10 categories, which can reduce reliance on fragmented point scanners for baseline posture.
  • Attack-path scoring paired with sensitive-data discovery lets teams narrow attention to exploitable routes rather than treating every finding with equal urgency.
  • Guided remediation, generative-AI remediation instructions, automation rules that can act without manual intervention, and copy-paste IaC snippets support faster response once a finding is accepted.
  • Published cloud reach includes AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, and Kubernetes configuration controls under one posture workflow.
Cautions
  • Public AWS Marketplace starter packs are priced from USD 7,000 to USD 30,000 per month on one-month contracts, yet the concurrent EC2 workload count inside each Small through Large pack is not published, which blocks accurate capacity budgeting.
  • CSPM is marketed as a capability inside the broader CNAPP rather than a standalone product, and no module-by-module entitlement matrix is disclosed, so buyers must confirm which posture functions ship in the purchased scope.
  • Custom-policy authoring, formal drift-validation workflows, and a public exception-management entitlement matrix are not established, which may leave governance-heavy programs short of documented controls.
  • A twelve-month contract option appears without captured public prices, and additional platform licensing plus possible AWS infrastructure costs are routed through negotiated private offers, so total commercial terms remain variable.

Verification notes and unresolved itemsThe AWS Marketplace listing was adopted as the configured United States pricing entry.
  • Four public one-month starter-pack amounts are directly bound to the exact CNAPP platform listing.
  • The listing also presents a 12-month contract selector, but no current 12-month price table was exposed in the publicly captured content
  • no annual amount is retained.
  • Public pages establish Orca's broad CNAPP product boundary but do not publish a module-by-module commercial entitlement matrix, so CSPM is evaluated as an included platform capability while adjacent CNAPP functions are not assumed to be separately entitled in every order.
