A fixed-price gap analysis, remediation through to your audit, and upkeep after it. All in a workspace you keep.
All compliance →Led by a published security researcher with five CVEs. One standard report, letters for your buyers, and retests of your fixes.
All security →To the people you sell to, raise from or answer to.
All industries →Original research, free tools, and plain-language guides on security and compliance, from a published security researcher.
Read the blog →Before you invest, know what you are buying: the architecture, the code, the security posture and the compliance gaps, with the red flags and what they cost to fix. Startups use the same review to get ready before investors or acquirers start asking.
Investors get an independent view they can rely on in the deal. Startups get the problems found and fixed on their own timeline, not the buyer's. Portfolios get a baseline per company and a view across the fund.
Whoever commissions it, and the report says so. When an investor commissions it, the report is theirs and the reliance terms say who may use it. When a startup commissions it to prepare, the report is theirs to share or not.
Read access to the repositories and cloud accounts in scope makes the review accurate. Where a target will not grant access before signing, we work from documents, interviews and a supervised walkthrough, and the report states that limit.
Yes. Each company gets a short baseline review and a place in the free workspace, and the fund gets a summary of where risk sits across the portfolio.
The price above covers the work. It also covers where the work lives, which most buyers are quoted separately as an annual platform subscription.

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.
