Common questions
Compliance & Governance in Montreal -- FAQs
What compliance frameworks do businesses in Montreal typically need?
It depends on the industry. Technology organizations in Montreal typically face SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and sector-specific regulations. We assess your specific situation and build a roadmap that covers the frameworks your customers and regulators actually require.
How long does SOC 2 Type II certification take?
SOC 2 Type II requires a minimum observation period of 6 months, so the fastest timeline from engagement to report is approximately 9-12 months. Organizations that start with a gap assessment and remediate findings before the audit window typically complete the process faster and with fewer findings.
Do you help with Quebec-specific compliance requirements?
Yes. We have direct experience with Quebec's provincial privacy and data governance requirements alongside federal frameworks. This includes Quebec Law 25, which has stricter breach notification requirements (72 hours) and Privacy Impact Assessment obligations that go beyond PIPEDA.
Can you help us respond to a customer security questionnaire?
Yes. We help clients respond to vendor security questionnaires from their enterprise and government customers. We maintain a library of pre-answered questions and can work through custom questionnaires with your team. A formal compliance program (SOC 2, ISO 27001) makes questionnaire responses much faster.
