A fixed-price gap analysis, remediation through to your audit, and upkeep after it. All in a workspace you keep.
All compliance →Led by a published security researcher with five CVEs. One standard report, letters for your buyers, and retests of your fixes.
All security →To the people you sell to, raise from or answer to.
All industries →Original research, free tools, and plain-language guides on security and compliance, from a published security researcher.
Read the blog →ISO 27001 is the international standard for an information security management system (ISMS), and the certificate enterprise buyers outside North America ask for by name.
We run the readiness work end to end: scope the ISMS, build your Statement of Applicability, implement the Annex A controls that actually apply, and get you audit-ready without you living in a spreadsheet.
Comparing providers? See who does ISO 27001 work in Toronto, and who can actually certify you.
You finish with a working ISMS, a defensible Statement of Applicability, and a clear path through the Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits, not just a binder of policies. If you already hold SOC 2, we reuse that evidence so you certify faster and stop answering the same security questionnaires twice.
ISO 27001 is an international standard that certifies you operate an information security management system (ISMS). SOC 2 is an AICPA attestation report on controls against the Trust Services Criteria. ISO 27001 is often preferred by buyers outside North America; SOC 2 is common with US and Canadian SaaS buyers. Many companies eventually hold both.
It varies by scope, the maturity of your existing controls, and how quickly your team can implement changes. We give you a realistic timeline after scoping. If you already have SOC 2 evidence, readiness is usually faster because much of the control work overlaps.
Cost depends on ISMS scope, headcount, and the registrar you choose for the certification audit. Our readiness fee is separate from the registrar audit fee, which we do not control. See our ISO 27001 cost in CAD page for a breakdown, or book a call for a scoped quote.
No. Certification must be issued by an independent, accredited registrar, and we cannot both prepare you and audit you. We get you fully ready, help you select a registrar, and coordinate the Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits so there are no surprises.
The price above covers the work. It also covers where the work lives, which most buyers are quoted separately as an annual platform subscription.

Track record
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 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.
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.
