Penetration Testing and Red Team Assessments for Calgary Businesses
+1 (905) 367-6038
Calgary's economy runs on energy, and increasingly on the technology and fintech firms building up around it, both of which face constant pressure from attackers looking for a way in. PlutoSec runs hands on penetration tests for Calgary organizations, digging into web applications, networks, and cloud environments the way a real attacker would rather than relying on a scanner and calling it done. 

Manual Penetration Testing for Calgary Organizations

Energy companies and their vendors often run a mix of corporate IT and legacy systems that were never designed with today's threats in mind. We test that full environment by hand, tracing how a single exposed service or weak credential could lead an attacker deep into your network.
  • Web application and API penetration testing

  • Internal and external network testing

  • Cloud security testing for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud

  • Active Directory and internal infrastructure testing

  • Wireless network testing

  • Mobile application testing

Red Team Testing for Critical Infrastructure Adjacent Environments

Energy and industrial organizations are frequent targets precisely because the impact of a breach reaches beyond data loss. Our red team exercises simulate a persistent attacker working to reach sensitive corporate systems that sit close to operational technology, testing your detection and response before a real adversary gets the chance.
  • Goal based red team engagements

  • Phishing and social engineering simulations

  • Detection and response testing against MITRE ATT&CK

  • IT and OT boundary security reviews

  • Purple team collaboration with internal security teams

Additional Support for Calgary Businesses

Testing works best as part of an ongoing security program. A number of our Calgary clients also rely on us for the work that happens between assessments. 
  • Compliance support for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS

  • Cloud and infrastructure security hardening

  • 24/7 managed detection and response

  • Incident response and digital forensics

  • Vulnerability management and continuous monitoring

What Penetration Testing Costs in Calgary

Pricing depends on the number of systems in scope, how complex your network is, and how frequently you need testing performed. Most Calgary quotes follow a short scoping call so the number reflects your actual environment. 

A free retest is included with every engagement once remediation is complete. Contact us for a scoped quote.

Fast Response for Urgent Security Needs

If a vendor questionnaire or upcoming audit has put you on a tight clock, we can prioritize your request. We respond to urgent enquiries the same business day and can connect you directly with our incident response team if the request is tied to a suspected breach. 
  • Same business day response to urgent inquiries

  • Expedited scheduling ahead of audits or vendor reviews

  • Direct handoff to incident response for active incidents

  • Rush reporting for time sensitive engagements

National Testing Standards, Applied to Calgary's Risk Profile

Calgary businesses, particularly in energy, face pressure from both financially motivated attackers and state-linked groups interested in critical infrastructure. We bring the same certifications and methodology we use nationally, applied with that context in mind. 
  • Manual first testing that finds what scanners miss

  • OSCP, CISSP, GPEN, and CEH certified engineers

  • Reporting written for both engineers and executives

  • Zero false positives guarantee

  • Free retesting after remediation

  • Experience testing energy and industrial adjacent environments

What It Is Like Working With PlutoSec

Calgary clients tell us the difference shows up after the report lands in how much support we provide getting issues fixed and confirmed closed.
  • A technical report your IT team can act on right away

  • A plain language executive summary for leadership

  • Direct access to the engineer behind the findings

  • Hands on support through the remediation process

  • Documentation suitable for vendor and insurance reviews

Serving Calgary and Southern Alberta

We work with businesses across Calgary and the surrounding region, including energy companies, professional services firms, and the growing base of technology and fintech startups downtown. Each engagement accounts for the sector a client operates in, since the risks facing an energy company differ substantially from those facing a software startup.

Offensive Security Services in Calgary: frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most. Still unsure how it applies to your environment? Our engineers are happy to talk it through.

Do you test operational technology or only IT systems?
Our core focus is IT systems, including networks, applications, and cloud infrastructure. For environments where IT and OT connect, we assess the boundary and access controls between them rather than testing production OT equipment directly.
How much does a penetration test cost in Calgary?
 It depends on scope. We provide a fixed quote after understanding your environment during a short call, so there are no surprises once the project starts.
Is Alberta's PIPA different from PIPEDA?
Yes. Alberta has its own private sector privacy law, PIPA, which applies alongside federal PIPEDA in some cases. A penetration test helps demonstrate the reasonable security measures both frameworks expect organizations to take.
