Certification Services Pricing
Modular Pricing
Choose Your Framework.
Pay Only For What You Need.
No bundled enterprise plans. Fixed-fee implementation with transparent pass-through costs — scoped to your stage.
Why Modular Beats Bundled
| What Most Vendors Offer | What EIM Delivers |
|---|---|
| Enterprise pricing built for 200-person companies | Modular pricing built for pre-seed to Series A — you pay for what you actually need |
| Compliance software only — you still need a separate implementor | End-to-end execution: roadmap, implementation, audit support, and maintenance under one team |
| Templated policies you adapt to yourself | Policies written for your specific tech stack, team structure, and framework scope |
| Framework silos — each certification is a separate engagement | Concurrent framework efficiency: shared work done once, 80–90% control overlap captured |
| Opaque hourly billing with unpredictable totals | Fixed-fee Phase 1 — you know your cost before work begins. Maintenance billed at $80/hr CAD. |
| No relationship after certification is achieved | Hourly services ensure you stay compliant — not just get certified |
| You manage the auditor relationship yourself | EIM manages your auditor relationship start to finish — Q&A, evidence, findings, response |
