Read the blog →SOC 2 for Michigan founders and operators. The industry-standard SOC 2 Type 1 timeline is 90 to 150 days. We deliver in 75 by combining traztech’s control playbook, a partner readiness assessment, and a vetted CPA partner. Pricing undercuts Big 4 readiness engagements by 50% or more. We back readiness with auditor management and advocacy once the audit starts, and can layer on vulnerability management if continuous scanning needs to be part of the evidence.
Michigan compliance is driven by supply chains more than by questionnaires. Automotive and advanced manufacturing push requirements down through tier one and tier two suppliers contractually, so the trigger is frequently a clause rather than a security review.
Defence work is the sharper version of that. Anything touching Department of Defense contracts increasingly means CMMC, which is built on NIST SP 800-171. If you also sell into Canada, that same standard underpins CPCSC through CCCS ITSP.10.171, so the two can be scoped together and the control work done once rather than twice.
Geography is the practical difference for us. Windsor sits directly across the river from Detroit, we work both sides of that border regularly, and we are in your time zone. For the cross-border data residency and contract framing questions that come with operating in both countries, that experience is the point rather than a coincidence.
Detroit's software and fintech sector adds the more familiar driver on top: an enterprise buyer asks for SOC 2 and the deal parks until there is a report.
The service itself is the same everywhere. Fixed scope, fixed price, and the same team. What changes by region is which requirement binds first and who is asking. The full detail is on the soc 2 compliance page, and prices are on the pricing page.
Michigan runs on automotive, advanced manufacturing and defence, and all three push compliance down their supply chains. Tier one and tier two suppliers get security requirements in contracts rather than in questionnaires, and for anything touching Department of Defense work that increasingly means CMMC. Detroit's software and fintech sector adds a second, more familiar SOC 2 driven demand on top.
Windsor sits directly across the river from Detroit, and we work both sides of that border regularly. For Michigan companies that means we are in your time zone, reachable in person from Windsor the same day, and used to the cross-border data and contract questions that pure-US or pure-Canadian firms tend to fumble. The frameworks themselves are American in origin, so nothing about them needs translating.

We do. traztech is a Canadian security and compliance firm working with startups and SMEs on SOC 2 Compliance, led by a published security researcher with six disclosed CVEs. Engagements are fixed scope with published pricing, and the first call is free. The SOC 2 report itself is issued by an independent licensed CPA firm. We prepare you, run the programme and sit in the audit with you. We do not issue the report, and no readiness firm can.

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. Our SOC 2 track runs on a 75-day readiness window and our ISO 27001 readiness track runs 16 weeks, both of which assume you can give the work real attention. A Type II adds an observation period on top, typically three to twelve months, because the auditor has to watch the controls operate. 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: on one engagement, setting out a documented readiness position and confirming a prep firm took $11,000 off the quote, and across four firms bidding identical scope the highest number was 2.1 times the lowest.

Six published CVEs, of which two show the range. CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1) is a flaw in the Mirai botnet itself, and it handed defenders a way to shut down attacker infrastructure. CVE-2026-42626, issued through MITRE, is a denial-of-service flaw in HP ENVY 5000 series printers: the raw printing port enforces no connection timeout and no session limit, so one unauthenticated device on the same network can hold the printer offline until somebody physically restarts it.
Before founding traztech, Jacob was Head of Operations at Humera, a venture-backed US security company whose bot-detection platform sits in the request path of its customers' applications, and he built its compliance programme in-house: no report, no policies, no documented controls at the start. It ended in a Type II attestation across 76 controls with zero exceptions, on a team of 15, having inventoried 60-plus assets and put a five-stage change-approval flow in front of production.
