Why teams call us

You are probably here because of one of these

The trigger is almost always the same: revenue or funding is at risk, and you do not have time to figure this out yourselves. That is exactly what we remove.

Sales / enterprise deal

"We need you SOC 2 compliant to move forward"

A prospect's security questionnaire or procurement is blocking the deal. We get you audit-ready on the timeline the deal needs and help you answer the questionnaire now.

Investor / board pressure

"When are we getting SOC 2?"

A raise, an acquisition conversation, or a nearby breach has the board asking about your posture. We give you a credible plan and a date, then execute it.

Deadline / renewal

"Our audit is expiring and we are behind"

Audit anniversary, a failed control, or a new regulation, and last year's provider was too slow or too expensive. We pick it up and get you across the line.

Frameworks we cover

Every framework a North American buyer asks for

We run readiness and audit prep across the frameworks that gate enterprise deals and regulated markets. Each links to a full breakdown of scope, timeline, and what buyers expect.

SOC 2

ISO 27001

ISMS scoping, Statement of Applicability, controls, and internal audit for the global standard, Stage 1 and Stage 2 coordinated.

HIPAA

Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, risk analysis, BAAs, and PHI policies for digital health and healthtech.

PCI DSS

v4.0 cardholder-data-environment scoping, gap assessment, SAQ guidance, and remediation for anyone touching card data.

GDPR

Lawful basis, data mapping, DPAs, DSAR handling, and breach procedures for selling into Europe.

PIPEDA

Consent, safeguards, breach reporting, and access rights under Canada's federal private-sector privacy law.

Why traztech

We are the prep expert, not a Big 4 generalist

The audit itself has to be signed by an independent CPA firm. Everything before that, the part that actually takes the time and causes the pain, is what we own.

01

Prep, remediation, and evidence, done with you

Gap assessment, policies, control implementation, evidence collection, and auditor coordination. You get an outcome and a date, not a stack of templates.

02

Security depth behind the paperwork

Our founder is a published CVE researcher, so controls are designed around real attacker behavior. When your buyer asks a hard technical follow-up, the answer holds.

03

We work on top of Vanta, Drata, or nothing at all

Already have a compliance-automation tool but stuck at 60 percent green? We finish it. Starting from zero? We stand it up. Either way you get to audit-ready.

04

Fixed scope and honest cost

You know the deliverable, the timeline, and the price before you commit. No open-ended hourly meter and no fabricated numbers.

Fixed-scope packages

Pick a deadline, not an open-ended project

Productized readiness engagements with a defined scope, timeline, and price. See full pricing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does SOC 2 take?

Most clients reach audit-ready in 8 to 12 weeks with our SOC 2 in 75 Days track, and a Type I can be as fast as about 10 weeks. Timing depends on how mature your controls already are. The Type II observation window (typically 3 to 6 months) then runs after readiness is complete, so plan for roughly 4 to 9 months from kickoff to a Type II report.

How much does SOC 2 cost in Canada?

Budget two separate line items: the auditor (an independent CPA firm, often USD 10k to 30k+ depending on scope) and readiness help. Our readiness work is fixed-scope so you know the number before you commit. We are transparent about both up front and never inflate scope. Book a call and we will give you a real range for your situation.

Do you run the audit or just the prep?

We do readiness and audit prep: gap assessment, policies, evidence collection, control remediation, and auditor coordination. We do not sign the attestation, because SOC 2 and ISO 27001 require the preparer and the auditor to be independent. We work alongside your auditor so the exam goes smoothly, and we are the prep experts, not a Big 4 generalist.

SOC 2 or ISO 27001, which should we do first?

If your buyers are mostly North American SaaS and enterprise, SOC 2 usually comes first because that is what their security questionnaires ask for. If you sell into Europe or globally, ISO 27001 often carries more weight. The control sets overlap heavily, so doing one gives you a strong head start on the other. We help you sequence them so you never build the same evidence twice.

We already use Vanta or Drata but are still stuck. Can you help?

Yes, and it is common. Compliance automation tools track controls, but they do not write your policies, close your gaps, choose your auditor, or interpret an ambiguous control. We work on top of your existing Vanta or Drata instance to get you from 60 percent green to actually audit-ready.

Do you serve companies outside Canada?

Yes. We are based in Toronto and work with startups and mid-market companies across Canada and the United States. Frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI DSS are international, and we deliver readiness remotely across both countries.
