Compliance readiness · Canada · 2026
How ready are you, really?
Score your posture against PHIPA, PIPEDA, OSFI B-13 or CyberSecure Canada in three minutes. See your readiness, your ranked gaps, and a phased roadmap to close them. No email until you see your score.
Which framework applies to you?
Pick the one that drives your obligations. The scoring and gaps are weighted to it.
Rough headcount. Used to right-size the roadmap.
Where Canadian SMBs stand
Most Canadian SMBs score around 55 out of 100 against frameworks like PIPEDA, PHIPA and OSFI B-13, with the biggest gaps in incident-response planning, vendor due diligence, and a designated privacy officer. This assessment scores your specific posture and turns the gaps into a phased plan.
How the assessment works
Pick your framework, check the controls you actually have, and get a weighted score plus the gaps to close first. Every weighting is sourced, and your full roadmap is in the report.
Controls are scored 1 to 3 by importance to PHIPA, PIPEDA, OSFI B-13 or CyberSecure Canada.
The controls you are missing become a prioritised gap list, highest risk first.
We flag the controls most insurers now require to bind cyber coverage.
CIS v8.1 prioritisation and each framework's guidance, with a Now / 30 / 90-day roadmap.
Common questions
What is a compliance readiness assessment?+
It is a structured self-check of the security and privacy controls a framework expects, scored so you can see how close you are and what to fix first. This tool covers PHIPA, PIPEDA / CPPA, OSFI Guideline B-13 and CyberSecure Canada. It is a planning diagnostic, not a legal audit or a certification.
How is the readiness score calculated?+
Each control is weighted by how central it is to your chosen framework, from 1 to 3, anchored to the framework's own guidance and CIS Controls v8.1 prioritisation. Your score is the share of achievable weight you have in place, shown out of 100. The gaps you have not checked become your prioritised roadmap.
Does a good score mean I am compliant with PHIPA or PIPEDA?+
No. A high score means you have the core controls those frameworks expect, which is most of the work, but compliance is a legal determination that depends on your specific data, processes and documentation. Use this to find and close gaps quickly; a formal assessment confirms compliance.
Why do cyber insurers care about these controls?+
Most insurers now require MFA, tested backups, endpoint detection, an incident-response plan and security awareness training before they will bind or renew coverage. The same controls that raise your readiness score are the ones that keep you insurable, so closing these gaps does double duty.
