100% Canadian-Based Team with Government Security Clearances
Our Team's Experience Includes Projects With
A Clear Cadence of Proactive Management
Our service isn't a black box. We provide a structured, transparent process so your team always knows what's happening, what's next, and what's expected of them.
The Internal DIY Approach
Documentation Paralysis: Your team starts building an ISMS with a GRC tool and good intentions. Three months in, they're drowning in policy templates, second-guessing control applicability, and wondering if the Statement of Applicability is right.
Certification Body Confusion: Nobody on the team has been through a Stage 1 or Stage 2 audit before. Selecting a certification body, understanding the audit process, and preparing evidence packs becomes a full-time guessing game.
International Sales Stalled: Buyers outside North America expect ISO 27001. Without certification, you're locked out of regulated industries, government contracts, and enterprise procurement cycles in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
The Truvo Approach
Expert-Led Process: We bring a proven, 10-week plan. Your team knows exactly what to do and when, with a dedicated consultant managing every phase from gap assessment through certification body coordination.
Engineers Stay Focused: We handle the policy writing, GRC configuration, and evidence management, so your engineering team stays on the product roadmap instead of writing security documentation.
Predictable Outcome, Fixed Price: We de-risk the entire process with a fixed timeline and a fixed price. Fixed timeline, fixed deliverables, no surprise change orders.
Our All-Inclusive 8-Week ISO 27001 Accelerator
We follow a proven process that covers every phase of ISO 27001 readiness, from initial assessment through certification body coordination.
Detailed Assessment & Strategic Roadmap
What We Do
We kick off the engagement with an in-depth assessment of your current controls against all 93 ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls. We map how your company actually operates, identify gaps, and rate every control on a maturity scale.
What You Get
ISO 27001 Gap Assessment Report: A detailed report identifying all gaps between your current security posture and ISO 27001:2022 requirements, with every Annex A control rated on a maturity scale.
Statement of Applicability: A draft SoA built around your real operations, not a generic template. Maps each Annex A control to your environment with justifications for any exclusions.
Prioritized Remediation Roadmap: A step-by-step project plan with clear timelines and ownership for closing every gap before the Stage 1 audit.
Custom Security Policy Development
What We Do
This is the foundation of your ISMS. We write policies that match how your team actually works, not a stack of generic templates. Every policy maps directly to Annex A controls and your risk treatment plan.
What You Get
A Complete ISMS Policy Suite: Information security policy, acceptable use, access control, incident response, business continuity, and more. Custom-written to reflect your actual operations.
Risk Assessment & Treatment Plan: A formal risk assessment methodology and treatment plan that satisfies ISO 27001 clauses 6.1.2 and 6.1.3, with risks mapped to controls and ownership assigned.
GRC Platform Implementation & Automation
What We Do
We manage the selection, configuration, and integration of a GRC automation platform. We connect it to your cloud infrastructure, configure evidence collection, and set up continuous monitoring so your ISMS runs on cadence, not heroics.
What You Get
A Fully Configured GRC Platform: Your chosen GRC tool (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, or Sprinto) set up and integrated with your infrastructure, automating 40-60% of evidence collection.
Control Implementation & Remediation Guidance
What We Do
We translate policy into practice. We work with your team to implement the operational procedures and technical controls that support each Annex A control. Security Program Manual covers every domain the platform can't automate.
What You Get
Security Program Manual: A comprehensive manual covering all manual controls and ownership assignments that the GRC platform doesn't automate. Your single source of truth for operational security.
Implementation of Tailored Security Controls: A complete set of documented controls mapped to every applicable Annex A item, with evidence collection procedures defined for each.
Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Management
What We Do
We manage the penetration test from scoping through remediation. We engage a CREST-certified testing firm, define the scope, coordinate scheduling, and ensure findings are remediated before the audit.
What You Get
An Official Penetration Test Report: A formal, audit-ready report from a CREST-certified firm that satisfies Annex A control A.8.8 (Management of technical vulnerabilities).
A Validated Vulnerability Management Process: Proof that you not only find but also fix security vulnerabilities on a defined cadence, with evidence of remediation tracked in your GRC platform.
Internal & External Audit Management
What We Do
We coordinate with your chosen certification body, prepare your team for Stage 1 (documentation review) and Stage 2 (control effectiveness assessment), and run a pre-audit review to catch anything the auditor will flag.
What You Get
Pre-Audit Readiness Review: A comprehensive internal review that mirrors the certification body's assessment process, identifying any remaining gaps before the auditor arrives.
Certification Body Coordination: Stage 1 and Stage 2 scheduled with your certification body. Your team is prepared, evidence packs are organized, and there are no surprises.
A Clear Path to Surveillance Audits: A fully operational ISMS that you can maintain in-house or with our ongoing support, ready for annual surveillance audits in Year 2 and Year 3.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Accelerator gets you audit-ready in 8 weeks. Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits typically happen within 4-8 weeks after that, depending on your certification body's availability. Total timeline from kickoff to certificate: roughly 4-5 months.
ISO 27001 is an international standard with formal certification by an accredited body. SOC 2 is a North American attestation report issued by a CPA firm. If you sell internationally or into regulated industries outside North America, buyers typically expect ISO 27001. Many companies pursue both, and the programs share significant overlap.
Not technically required, but strongly recommended. Platforms like Vanta, Drata, or Secureframe automate 40-60% of evidence collection, which makes the difference between a program that runs on cadence and one that runs on spreadsheets and heroics.
Yes. ISO 27701 is a privacy extension to ISO 27001, so the ISMS you build becomes the foundation. If your organization handles personal data and needs to demonstrate GDPR or PIPEDA alignment, adding 27701 during the Build phase is the most efficient path.
