Security That Protects Without Slowing You Down

Security assessments, compliance implementation, and vulnerability remediation. SOC2, GDPR, PIPEDA, and HIPAA readiness from a developer who understands both the code and the compliance requirements.

What We Deliver

Security is not optional — it is a business requirement that affects customer trust, regulatory compliance, and operational continuity. The difference between useful security work and checkbox compliance is a practitioner who understands the code behind the controls. Creatos DaaS provides practical security expertise that implements the measures that matter most for your specific threat model — not a generic checklist that wastes budget on low-impact controls.

Security Audits

Comprehensive assessments that identify real vulnerabilities in your application and infrastructure. Each finding includes severity, business impact, and a clear remediation path prioritized by actual risk.

Compliance Implementation

Roadmaps and implementation for SOC2 Type I/II, GDPR, PIPEDA, and HIPAA readiness. Practical guidance that works with your development workflow, not against it.

Penetration Testing

Hands-on testing of your applications and infrastructure to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before attackers do. Testing methodology follows OWASP guidelines and industry best practices.

Vulnerability Remediation

Fixing the issues that audits and penetration tests identify. Code-level fixes, configuration hardening, and architecture improvements that address root causes rather than symptoms.

Security Hardening Guides

Documented security configurations for your servers, databases, applications, and cloud environments. Actionable guides your team can follow and maintain.

Incident Response Planning

Preparation for security incidents including response procedures, communication templates, and recovery protocols. Better to have the plan and never need it.

Our Approach

1

Threat Model Assessment

Understand your specific risk profile, compliance requirements, and security priorities before recommending any changes.

2

Gap Analysis

Compare current security posture against the target framework (SOC2, GDPR, etc.) and identify specific gaps with remediation effort estimates.

3

Prioritized Remediation

Address critical and high-severity issues first. Implement security improvements in order of business impact, not theoretical severity.

4

Documentation and Evidence

Produce the documentation, policies, and evidence that auditors and compliance assessors require.

5

Ongoing Posture

Establish monitoring, automated scanning, and regular review cadences to maintain security posture over time.

Ideal For

  • Startups preparing for enterprise sales where SOC2 or similar compliance is a gating requirement
  • Companies that have received a security audit with findings they need help remediating
  • Organizations pursuing GDPR, PIPEDA, or HIPAA compliance for the first time
  • Teams that want a proactive security review before an incident forces a reactive one
  • Agencies with client security requirements that need specialist implementation

Frequently Asked Questions

If you sell software or services to other businesses (B2B), particularly mid-market or enterprise clients, SOC2 is increasingly a requirement for vendor selection. It is also becoming a competitive differentiator. The discovery call can help assess whether it is a priority for your specific market.
A security audit is a broader review of your security posture — code quality, configuration, access controls, policies, and architecture. A penetration test is a focused, hands-on attempt to exploit specific vulnerabilities. Most organizations benefit from an audit first to understand the full picture, followed by targeted penetration testing of critical systems.
Yes. If your prospect or customer has sent a security questionnaire or vendor assessment, Creatos can help prepare accurate, compelling responses and address any gaps the questionnaire reveals.
Critical findings are communicated immediately with a recommended remediation plan. Urgent vulnerabilities are prioritized for same-day or next-day remediation to minimize exposure.
