AI products inherit every classic software risk and add a category of their own. Regulators are moving faster than most teams expect.
Prompt injection is LLM01, the top risk in AI applications. RAG leakage, insecure output handling, and agent abuse follow close behind.
High-risk systems under Annex III face conformity-assessment obligations, with the relevant deadline landing in 2026.
Section 12.1 requires meaningful disclosure of automated decision-making. If you serve Quebec users, this applies to your model.
AI buyers want SOC 2 and increasingly want answers on training-data provenance, shadow AI, and model access controls.
We threat-model the AI surface, test it adversarially with our partner, and close the regulatory gaps.

SOC 2 readinesstraztech is run by a published security researcher with five published CVEs, including CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1), the kill-switch for the Mirai botnet. We co-deliver AI security with a specialist offensive partner: we build the threat model, they run the adversarial testing. You get offensive depth most AI security vendors cannot match.
See the full research and CVE record, or read how we work with our partners. Once you are engaged, our auditor management & advocacy and vulnerability management services keep the program moving, tracked through your existing traztech Workspace.
It is the OWASP list of the most critical risks in LLM applications. Prompt injection is the top entry, followed by issues like sensitive information disclosure, insecure output handling, and excessive agency in agents.
It applies if you place an AI system on the EU market or your output is used in the EU. High-risk systems under Annex III carry conformity-assessment obligations, with the relevant deadline in 2026.
Section 12.1 requires that you inform individuals when a decision is based exclusively on automated processing and, on request, explain the personal information and factors used. If you serve Quebec users, this applies.
We run a battery covering direct, indirect, multi-turn, and agent tool-call injection, then RAG and data-layer leakage testing. The adversarial work is delivered with our offensive-security partner.
Yes. Enterprise AI buyers ask for SOC 2 and increasingly add questions on training-data provenance, model access controls, and shadow AI. We scope the report to cover these.

Book a callEvery readiness programme needs a control library, an evidence register, policies and a score for the board. Being quoted five figures a year for that is normal. Paying it is not.
| traztech Workspace | Other GRC platforms | |
|---|---|---|
| Licence cost | $0. Free forever, no card, no paid tier | $7,500 to $50,000 a year, on an annual contract |
| Control library, evidence register, policy templates, risk register, vendor questionnaires, readiness scoring | Included | Included |
| What it costs inside an engagement with us | $0. You need a workspace either way | Unchanged. The subscription sits on top of the fee |
| What it does to your audit quote | $11,000 off a five-figure quote on one engagement, for a documented readiness position | Nothing. The audit firm prices your readiness, not your tooling |
Pricing in the right column is what compliance automation platforms are publicly reported to charge; none of them publish a number, so treat it as a range rather than a quote. The $11,000 came off the audit firm's own number once the readiness position was documented (the engagement). Where a paid platform is the better buy, and the fuller comparison, is on the Workspace page.
Track record
We are deliberately not a large firm, and we would rather show you the work than a wall of logos. Here is what is behind the advice.
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.
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 across 76 controls with zero exceptions, on a team of 15.
The platform held 99.9% uptime 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.
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.
