Common questions
Compliance & Governance in Ottawa -- FAQs
What compliance frameworks do businesses in Ottawa typically need?
It depends on the industry. Government & Public Sector organizations in Ottawa typically face ITSG-33, Protected B, and PBMM cloud security profile. 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 Ontario-specific compliance requirements?
Yes. We have direct experience with Ontario's provincial privacy and data governance requirements alongside federal frameworks. This includes Ontario PHIPA for healthcare organizations and the province's specific interpretation of PIPEDA obligations for private sector companies.
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.
