The Complade difference
Know what the audit costs, how it works and how conclusions are reached.
Complade combines SCC-accredited certification, published pricing and a portal that makes the audit process visible. Clients can see how their information risks and controls were evaluated and what evidence supports each conclusion.
Predictable process
Know the stages, responsibilities, evidence requirements, audit activities and expected timelines before the audit begins. The process is predictable; the certification outcome is never predetermined.
Standards-based rigour
Auditors record the requirement, assessment criteria and evidence for each conclusion. Their judgment follows a documented method.
Portal-led visibility
Plan the audit, submit evidence, follow evaluated audit points, manage corrective actions and receive reports and certificates through the Complade Audit Portal.

Frequently asked questions
Answers for planning your certification.
Is Complade an accredited certification body?
Yes. The Standards Council of Canada accredits Complade for ISO/IEC 27001 and CyberSecure Canada certification. The official SCC directory and IAF CertSearch show Complade's current records.
Which certification should our organization choose?
ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized information security management system standard. CyberSecure Canada is Canada's national cybersecurity certification for eligible small and medium-sized organizations.
How much does certification cost?
Complade publishes planning estimates and their assumptions. The final quotation is confirmed after Complade reviews the application, certification scope and required audit time.
How long does certification take?
Timing depends on scope, readiness, document availability, auditor and client schedules, and the time required to resolve nonconformities. Complade publishes a fastest-case ISO 27001 planning scenario of about six weeks for an audit-ready small organization.
Can I speak with a Complade lead auditor before applying?
Yes. A lead auditor can explain the standard, process, scope factors, timing and published pricing. To protect impartiality, the auditor cannot design your system or tell you how to implement it.
