Our mission

Who is Certi360?

Certi360 is a Laval firm founded in 2021 by Patrick Boucher. It brings together five certified auditors who help Quebec SMBs achieve ISO 27001 compliance, Bill 25 readiness and related certification frameworks (SOC 2, PCI DSS) with a pragmatic, jargon-free approach. The goal is to structure information security and make client teams self-sufficient.

Patrick Boucher is one of the few professionals in Quebec to have held all four roles in the ISO 27001 lifecycle: implementer (since 2007), consultant, internal auditor, and external auditor for recognized certification bodies.

Certi360 structures certification, governance and risk management

Certi360 helps Quebec SMBs structure their information security and earn certifications — ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS and Bill 25 — with a pragmatic approach built on more than 25 years of combined experience.

Founded in Laval in 2021 by Patrick Boucher, our firm focuses on team autonomy: we train you so you won't need us long term.

Why choose Certi360?

Practical, accessible solutions without jargon

We speak plainly, without jargon — just clear, concrete solutions adapted to your business reality. We train your teams so they become self-sufficient quickly. Our goal is for you not to need us long term.

Expertise grounded in field experience, not theory

Our experts bring more than 25 years of experience. We've seen audits, incidents, IT committees, resistance and edge cases. With hundreds of engagements behind us, we quickly spot weak points in a security program.

A proven method and practical tools for audit readiness

Our approach works. It has proven itself over years in varied contexts. We work with proven tools — work plans, project tracking and audit-ready documentation.

How does Certi360 work with you?

Credibility and stability: engagements without padding

We're already in demand. We don't need to stretch engagements to survive. When you have work, we take it. When it's quiet, we step back. We work transparently — you see our timesheets and progress reports.

Results-oriented from the first interventions

Our clients see results from the first interventions. Less ambiguity, more impact. We don't add complexity — we simplify what is often perceived as burdensome.

Available during and after the engagement

Even after an engagement ends, we remain available. An emergency, a question, a doubt? We're there to support you on a one-off basis without restarting a big machine. We call that after-sales service.
