Governance, risk, and compliance are three questions, and a real GRC audit answers all three rather than checking one framework in isolation.
Are the right policies, ownership, and accountability actually in place? We review who decides, who approves, and whether the paper matches what happens day to day.
Are your real risks identified, rated, and treated, or is the risk register a spreadsheet nobody reads? We test the process as well as the document.
Do the controls each framework and Canadian law requires exist, work, and have evidence? We check them against the specific obligations that apply to you.
A generic, US-centric GRC platform does not know Canadian law. ThreeShield does, because it is a Calgary audit firm.
PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, Alberta HIA and PIPA, BC PIPA, CCCS baseline controls, OSFI B-13, CIRO, and Bill C-8 readiness. The provincial and federal obligations most platforms treat as an add-on are the starting point here.
Your audit evidence and its processing stay in Canada by default. That matters when a regulator or a board asks where the data lives.
CISSP- and CISA-credentialled staff who have assessed nearly every Government of Alberta entity through the Office of the Auditor General, plus Fortune 50 and federal engagements. An independent audit that stands up to scrutiny.
Canadian and international, mapped so that satisfying one control can satisfy many. See the full list on compliance frameworks.
Federal private-sector privacy, and the proposed Consumer Privacy Protection Act.
Quebec's private-sector privacy reform, including breach and PIA obligations.
Health custodian safeguards and Alberta private-sector privacy.
British Columbia private-sector privacy for BC-based organizations.
Canadian Centre for Cyber Security controls and federal financial-sector technology risk.
Trust Services Criteria and full ISMS certification readiness.
US health data, and payment-card compliance across all SAQ types.
Risk-based governance structure and practical control hygiene.
Defence supply chain, critical infrastructure, and investment-dealer guidance.
Continuous evidence from the platform, expert judgement from the auditor. That combination is what makes the audit fast and the next one faster.
We identify which frameworks and Canadian laws apply, then map your existing controls across all of them so nothing is audited twice.
Lavawall® GRC gathers control evidence automatically and timestamps it, so the audit is not a month-long screenshot scramble.
A CISSP/CISA auditor tests the controls, writes up findings with a prioritized remediation path, and produces board- and regulator-ready reporting.
A GRC audit is an independent review of your governance, risk, and compliance. It checks that the right policies and accountability exist, that risks are identified and treated, and that the controls a framework or regulation requires are in place and evidenced. ThreeShield's GRC audit is CISSP- and CISA-led and covers all three at once rather than one framework in isolation.
A cybersecurity audit focuses on technical and operational security controls. A GRC audit is broader: it also reviews governance and accountability, the risk-management process, and compliance against the specific frameworks and Canadian laws that apply to you. The two overlap, and we often run them together.
Canadian frameworks and laws including PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, Alberta HIA and PIPA, BC PIPA, CCCS baseline, OSFI B-13, CIRO, CPA Canada, and NERC CIP, plus international frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, and CMMC. See compliance and GRC for the full picture.
It depends on scope, the number of frameworks, and your starting posture. We offer a free scoping call to size it before you commit, and because evidence is collected continuously by Lavawall® rather than gathered by hand each year, repeat audits cost less than a traditional annual scramble.
Canada-wide. We are based in Calgary with staff reachable in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario, and we deliver GRC audits for organizations across the country, with data hosted in Canada by default.
Book a free scoping call. We will identify which frameworks and Canadian laws apply to you, where your biggest gaps are, and what an independent GRC audit would realistically cost, before you commit to anything.
