Health data carries statutory penalties and the longest procurement cycles in software. The bar is set by law, not by your buyer.
The Security Rule and Privacy Rule govern protected health information. Business associate agreements push obligations down to every vendor.
Ontario personal health information is governed by PHIPA, with its own consent, breach-notification, and custodian rules.
Enterprise health buyers layer a SOC 2 Type II requirement on top of the statutory frameworks.
Encryption, access logging, minimum necessary access, and a documented breach process are non-negotiable.
We translate statutory requirements into implemented controls, then prove them to your buyers.
Safeguards, policies, BAAs, and breach procedures mapped to the rules that apply to you.
Security & ComplianceThe report your hospital and payer customers ask for, built on the same control set.

IR Retainertraztech 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 have built and run SOC 2 Type II programs across 76 controls, and we translate HIPAA and PHIPA into implemented controls rather than documents. Health procurement teams get a real PHI program, not a policy template.
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.
HIPAA is the US federal framework for protected health information. PHIPA is the Ontario statute for personal health information. If you operate across the border, you may need to satisfy both.
Often yes. HIPAA is the legal baseline, but hospital and payer buyers frequently require a SOC 2 Type II report as independent assurance. The two share most underlying controls.
Encryption at rest and in transit, minimum-necessary access, full access logging, and documented breach procedures. We design these in rather than bolting them on later.
BAAs flow between covered entities and their vendors. We help you build the safeguards and processes a BAA commits you to, and structure your subprocessor agreements accordingly.
An incident response retainer gives you named responders, defined timelines, and the regulator and patient-notification handling that both HIPAA and PHIPA require.

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.
