Clause 7.4 · Communication — Common Questions
Cybersecurity compliance,
answered.
What does a cybersecurity compliance consultant do?
A cybersecurity compliance consultant assesses your organization against recognized security frameworks — like ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and CIS Controls — and regulatory requirements such as PIPEDA. The output is documented evidence of your security posture: gap assessments, risk registers, remediation roadmaps, and audit-ready policies that satisfy insurers, enterprise clients, and certification bodies.
How much does ISO 27001 compliance cost for a Canadian SMB?
A focused gap assessment for a 10–150 person organization is significantly less expensive than enterprise consulting, which often runs $20,000–$50,000. Secrecy Evolution scopes engagements specifically for SMBs with fixed pricing defined before work begins. See the ISO 27001 service page or contact us for a scoped quote.
Why do cyber insurance claims get denied?
Industry analysis shows roughly 44% of cyber insurance claims are denied due to inadequate security controls — most often a gap between what was attested on the application (like “MFA everywhere”) and what a post-incident investigation actually finds. A readiness assessment verifies your controls match your application before you ever need to claim.
Does Secrecy Evolution serve businesses outside Toronto?
Yes. While headquartered in Toronto, Secrecy Evolution delivers cybersecurity compliance consulting to SMBs across Canada — including Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal — through a remote-first engagement model with on-site options in the GTA.
