Enterprise Security Review

From $7,500 CAD · scoped to you

A full look at your security programme across people, process and technology, delivered as a report with a risk-ranked roadmap of what to fix first. A good starting point when you have no framework in mind yet.

Delivered by a researcher with five published CVEs, including a CVSS 9.1 in the Mirai botnet.

Built for teams that...

  • Companies that know they need to improve security but not where to start
  • Leadership teams and boards that want an independent view of where the programme stands
  • Organizations choosing between SOC 2, ISO 27001 and CyberSecure Canada, who want the gaps first
  • New security leads who want a baseline in their first months

What we do

  • A fixed onboarding: kickoff call, an intake checklist in your workspace, and the access we need
  • Review against a fixed control set based on CIS Controls v8.1, rolled up to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 functions
  • Policies, identity and access, endpoints, network, cloud, backups, logging, incident readiness, vendors and security awareness
  • Interviews with the people who run each area, and evidence review rather than self-assessment alone
  • A scorecard, ranked findings and a risk register
  • A roadmap of what to fix in the first 30, 90 and 180 days and beyond, with effort for each item
  • A readout with your leadership team

What you walk away with

You know where the programme stands, what to fix first and what it will take. When you are ready for a framework, the findings carry straight into a SOC 2, ISO 27001 or CyberSecure Canada engagement.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a gap analysis?

A gap analysis measures you against one framework you have already chosen. This review looks at the whole programme against a general control set, so it is the right start when no framework has been chosen yet.

Is this a penetration test?

No. It reviews how security is run: controls, configuration, processes and people. If the review shows testing is needed, we scope a penetration test separately.

What do we get at the end?

A report with a scorecard, ranked findings, a risk register and a roadmap, walked through with your team. The findings also sit in your workspace so you can track them to closed.

The workspace is included, not quoted

The price above covers the work. It also covers where the work lives, which most buyers are quoted separately as an annual platform subscription.

Exceptions on a SOC 2 Type II built from nothing in-house

Published vulnerability research

Five published CVEs. CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1) is a flaw in the Mirai botnet itself, which gave defenders a way to shut down attacker infrastructure. CVE-2026-42626 takes HP ENVY 5000 printers offline from any unauthenticated device on the same network.

The printer is the one that matters on a compliance page: an asset nobody counts as a computer, on a flat network, downed by a device that never had to log in. Auditors ask how controls fail. We have found out first-hand.

A SOC 2 Type II built from nothing

At Humera, a venture-backed US security company, Jacob built the compliance programme in-house from nothing: no report, no policies, no documented controls. It ended in a Type II attestation with zero exceptions.

The platform stayed in production throughout, which is the part most readiness projects get wrong: controls are easy to design and hard to retrofit onto a system people already depend on.

Recent engagements

For a Waterloo data centre operator we ran SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 together rather than one after the other, across a production campus, an AI compute platform and a self-hosted collaboration stack. Scoped so further Ontario and Quebec sites enter as they reach production. Findings delivered and remediated.

For an Ontario medtech company putting an AI clinical assistant in front of practitioners, we ran the gap analysis and built the evidence programme behind their SOC 2.
