Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we hear most. Still unsure how it applies to your environment? Our engineers are happy to talk it through.
What's the difference between a compliance assessment and a risk assessment?
A compliance assessment checks your controls against a specific framework, like SOC 2 or ISO 27001. A risk assessment looks more broadly at where your business is exposed, regardless of any one standard.
Which framework should my business pursue first, SOC 2 or ISO 27001?
It usually comes down to who is asking. SOC 2 is more common for SaaS and technology companies selling to North American clients, while international partners or larger enterprise customers often request ISO 27001.
Do you provide the actual SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certificate?
No. SOC 2 reports must be issued by a licensed CPA firm, and ISO 27001 certificates by an accredited certification body.
How long does compliance readiness usually take?
Most SOC 2 Type I readiness engagements take six to ten weeks, while SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 programs typically run three to six months, depending on how mature your existing controls are. We provide a realistic timeline after the initial gap assessment.
Is PIPEDA compliance mandatory even if we don't pursue SOC 2 or ISO 27001?
Yes. PIPEDA is a federal law and applies to most private-sector organizations handling personal information in Canada, regardless of whether you pursue any voluntary framework.
