J-SAS Achieves SOC 2 Type II Certification

Mississauga, ON — September 2026

J-SAS Inc. has achieved SOC 2 Type II certification for its own security and compliance program. An independent audit team completed the assessment and confirmed that J-SAS’s controls operate effectively over time, not just on paper.

SOC 2 Type II is one of the most rigorous independent assessments an organization can undergo. A Type II audit differs from a Type I review in one key way: instead of checking whether controls are designed correctly at a single point in time, it tests whether those controls actually work, consistently, over an extended observation period.

“Earning our own SOC 2 Type II certification means holding ourselves to the same standard we help our clients meet every day,” said Ryan Devers, VP of Product Strategy and Co-Founder of J-SAS. “We built ProtechSuite and our Compliance as a Service offering around onehttps://j-sas.com/soc-2-preparation-security-basics/ idea: compliance should be thorough, evidence-based, and sustained. It should never be a once-a-year scramble. Going through this process ourselves, on our own platform, only reinforced that belief.”

How J-SAS Prepared for SOC 2 Type II Certification

J-SAS used its own ProtechSuite platform to manage the entire engagement. The team collected evidence, tracked controls, and coordinated with the audit team directly inside the same platform that J-SAS clients use for their own SOC 2 programs. In short, J-SAS did not just pass the audit. It proved out its own product in the process.

Organizations preparing for their first audit can start with J-SAS’s guide, SOC 2 Preparation: Security Basics. For an outside perspective on what a rigorous audit actually involves, Johanson Group LLP, a licensed CPA firm, publishes helpful background on the SOC 2 audit process and timeline.

This certification reflects a broader commitment. J-SAS continues to support organizations across Canada and beyond as they build and maintain their own compliance programs, and this milestone shows that commitment applies internally as well.
