TRA for Canadian founders and operators. A TRA is what a government buyer, a prime contractor, or an enterprise vendor-risk team asks for when they want proof you have assessed your risk and can show your work. We test the environment first, with our offensive-security partner, then write the assessment, so every risk rating traces back to something we actually found instead of a template with your logo on it.
Canada’s tech economy is concentrated in a short list of markets: the Toronto to Waterloo corridor, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, and Calgary. The pattern repeats no matter which one you are in. A Canadian company’s next stage of growth depends on selling into the United States, and in the US, SOC 2 is the price of entry rather than a nice-to-have. Stack the domestic privacy layer on top, PIPEDA nationally and Quebec Law 25 if you touch Quebec residents, and the list gets long before the first US enterprise deal closes.
We are a Toronto firm and we work with companies across the country remotely, in whichever time zone you are in. The Canadian specifics are the part outside firms miss: PIPEDA and Law 25 overlap with SOC 2 more than most people expect, so the evidence should be built once rather than twice, and the auditor’s bill is usually quoted in USD, which belongs in the budget before you start. We prep you to pass. An independent CPA firm signs the report.
