Prompt injection is OWASP LLM01:2025, the #1 risk in AI applications, and appeared in over 73% of production deployments assessed in 2025 audits. The EU AI Act conformity-assessment deadline for Annex III high-risk systems is December 2, 2027. We co-deliver AI security with a specialist offensive partner: traztech runs the threat modelling, our partner runs the adversarial testing.
London, Ontario runs on insurtech, digital health, and B2B SaaS, fed by Western University and a lower-cost base than the GTA. Regulated buyers in insurance and healthcare mean security and compliance requirements arrive early in the sales cycle.
London founders selling into insurers and health systems need defensible security programs before the deal, not after. We deliver SOC 2, vCISO, and readiness work into Southwestern Ontario within the same week they ask, from a Toronto base two hours up the 401.

We do. traztech is a Canadian security and compliance firm working with startups and SMEs on AI / LLM Security, led by a published security researcher with five disclosed CVEs. Engagements are fixed scope with published pricing, and the first call is free. Where an independent assessor, auditor or certification body is required, that is a separate firm from the one doing your readiness work. We will tell you plainly which parts we can and cannot sign.
No. We are based in Toronto and work with companies across Canada and the United States. Readiness work is largely remote by nature: evidence, policies and control design do not require anybody in the room. Where physical and environmental controls are in scope, for example a data centre or an office in the audit boundary, we attend on site. We have run a dual-framework programme across three physical sites, so that scope is familiar rather than an exception.
Our pricing is fixed and published rather than quoted per city, because the work does not change with the postcode. What moves the number is scope: how many systems and sites are in the boundary, how much already exists, and how many frameworks you are running at once. The audit or assessment fee is separate and is paid to the independent firm that performs it. Every price we charge is on our pricing page.
It depends on the framework and on how much of the programme already exists. SOC 2 Type I commonly takes a few months from start to report, and a Type II adds a 3, 6 or 12 month observation window, because the auditor has to watch the controls operate. ISO 27001 certification commonly takes several months, including the Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits. What drives it is the gaps found, the observation period and the auditor’s or certification body’s schedule. We will give you a realistic date on the first call rather than the one you want to hear.
Yes, and we frequently do. We manage the relationship, handle evidence requests and represent you through fieldwork. Where you have not chosen one, we run the selection: setting out a documented readiness position before firms quote tends to bring the quotes down, and comparing several firms on identical scope shows how far apart they can be.

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.

Track record
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.
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.
