What a Truvo Cyber SOC 2 engagement in Canada includes

Our model differs from many SOC 2 firms: every client gets a senior engagement lead and a specialist team, with Canadian requirements built into the same program.

icon-8

A named lead and a specialist team

A senior engagement lead owns your SOC 2 program, backed by specialists in GRC platforms, privacy and security engineering. You keep the same team from scoping to the auditor's report.

icon-7

Canadian privacy in the same program

Controls cover SOC 2 and PIPEDA together, plus Quebec Law 25 when you serve Quebec, so access, data handling, breach notification and retention are built once.

icon-9

Ready for bank and insurer reviews

Scoped with OSFI Guideline B-10 (third-party risk) and Guideline B-13 (technology and cyber risk) vendor expectations in view.

icon-6

Data residency and French-language documents

Scope statements that answer where your data is stored, and policies in French and English when Quebec is in scope.

icon-5

Your GRC platform, operated

We set up and operate Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, Scrut, Sprinto and others. The platform stays yours.

icon-4

Auditor management through fieldwork

We coordinate with your independent CPA audit firm, Canadian or US, organize evidence requests and defend your scope.

How Truvo Cyber delivers SOC 2 in Canada: Assess, Build, Operate

Three phases, each at a fixed price. Every engagement starts with a free readiness assessment.

01

Assess

A free readiness assessment: a strategy session, a high-level gap analysis against the Trust Services Criteria and Canadian privacy requirements, and a roadmap.

02

Build

Policies, controls mapped to every criterion in scope, GRC platform configuration, evidence collection, internal audit and penetration test management. Output: the Security Program Manual and a Type I report.

03

Operate

Continuous control monitoring and evidence collection, quarterly access reviews, vendor risk assessments, the annual internal audit and penetration test, and audit management through each Type II.

Truvo Cyber SOC 2 consulting in Canada: frequently asked questions

A Truvo Cyber SOC 2 Build engagement typically costs CAD $20,000 to $50,000, with a fixed price quoted after the scoping call, and the readiness assessment that starts every engagement is free. Budget separately for a GRC platform, typically CAD $5,000 to $25,000 per year, and for your independent CPA audit firm: a Type I audit starts at around CAD $5,000 and a Type II audit at around CAD $7,500. For the full market picture, see our guide to SOC 2 compliance services in Canada.

A Truvo Cyber Build typically gets you audit-ready in 8 to 12 weeks. A Type I audit then takes about 2 to 4 weeks. A Type II needs an observation window, usually 3 to 12 months, and many enterprise buyers expect at least six. The auditor then needs about 2 to 4 weeks to issue the report.

Every client gets a senior engagement lead, a CISSP who owns the SOC 2 program and answers to your leadership and your auditor. The lead is backed by specialists in GRC platforms, Canadian privacy and security engineering, who join as the work needs them. The same team stays with you from scoping to the auditor's report, so knowledge of your systems stays in one place.

Every Truvo Cyber client gets a senior engagement lead and a specialist team that stays from scoping to the auditor's report. We build the program around how your organization works, operate the GRC platform you choose, cover Canadian privacy requirements in the same program, and work on cloud, hybrid and on-prem infrastructure, all at a fixed price per phase. To compare firms yourself, see how to choose a SOC 2 consultant or compare SOC 2 consultants in Canada.

Yes. SOC 2 and PIPEDA overlap in access control, data handling, breach notification and retention, so we build both into one program. PIPEDA adds its own requirements, such as consent and individual access rights. For companies that serve Quebec, we add Quebec Law 25 to the same controls and evidence.

Yes. Federally regulated financial institutions pass OSFI Guideline B-10 (third-party risk management) and Guideline B-13 (technology and cyber risk management) expectations to their vendors through contracts. A SOC 2 Type II report answers much of their review, and we scope your program so the remaining questions, such as incident notification and data location, have ready answers.

Yes. We set up and operate Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, Scrut, Sprinto and others, and the platform stays yours. If you have no platform yet, we recommend the one that fits your stack and your budget.

Yes. We act as the main point of contact between you and your independent CPA audit firm: we organize and submit evidence, defend your scope and walk the auditor through your control narrative. We can introduce reputable Canadian and US audit firms; you choose the firm, and we manage the engagement.

Truvo Cyber delivers SOC 2 engagements remotely across Canada and the US, from our base in Ottawa. When your environment includes a data centre or colocation cage, we do the physical walkthrough on site or by video. See SOC 2 for bare-metal and on-prem infrastructure.
