Provenance: Pricing verified at mux.com/pricing (Free, Pay as You Go, Launch $20/mo, Scale $500/mo, Enterprise). Compliance from mux.com/security: ISO 27001 explicitly stated; SOC 2 and HIPAA NOT stated (left null). GDPR not enumerated on /security but Mux offers a DPA, so gdpr=true is retained as defensible.
