Testing and defence led by a published security researcher with five CVEs, including a CVSS 9.1 Mirai botnet kill-switch.

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 sprint 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.
| 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.

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.
