Read the blog →Your customer, investor, or auditor just made SOC 2 a requirement. Here is what it takes, what drives the timeline, and how a Toronto team gets you there.
HealthTech companies usually need SOC 2 for enterprise sales and HIPAA for handling patient data. We deliver both together so you build one control set, not two.
More context on this sector on our HealthTech industry page, and on the framework itself on our SOC 2 hub.
Tailored to HealthTech, delivered by a Toronto security and compliance team led by a published security researcher, with our offensive-security partner where offensive testing is involved.
See the full SOC 2 service page, or productized pricing for fixed-scope engagements.
Often yes. HIPAA is US law that applies whenever you handle PHI; SOC 2 is a voluntary attestation buyers ask for. They share many controls, so we run them as one program.
They are separate: SOC 2 is a CPA attestation and HIPAA has no single certification. But the underlying controls overlap, so most of the work is shared.
It depends on what is blocking you: a stalled enterprise deal points to SOC 2 first; a data-handling or BAA obligation points to HIPAA first. We sequence around your immediate driver.

Every 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.
| 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 | A documented readiness position the audit firm can scope and price against | Nothing. The audit firm prices your readiness, not your tooling |
Platform pricing is a publicly reported range, since none of them publish a number. The fuller comparison, including when a paid platform is the better buy, is on the Workspace page.
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.
