Offensive Security Services in Montreal

Penetration Testing and Red Team Services for Montreal Companies
+1 (905) 367-6038
Montreal is home to a dense cluster of gaming studios, AI research labs, aerospace firms, and fast growing SaaS companies, all of which hold data worth protecting. PlutoSec runs manual, hands on penetration tests for Montreal businesses that need proof their systems can hold up against a real attacker, not just a passing grade from an automated scanner.

Manual Penetration Testing for Montreal Organizations

We test web applications, APIs, networks, and cloud infrastructure the way an actual attacker would approach them, chaining smaller issues together into something that matters. Reports are delivered in plain language for both your technical team and your leadership, and we can support bilingual reporting where a project calls for it. 
  • 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 assessments

  • Mobile application testing

  • Wireless network testing

Red Team Exercises for High Value Targets

Studios, research labs, and fintech platforms in Montreal often hold intellectual property or client data that would be extremely damaging in the wrong hands. Our red team exercises simulate a motivated attacker chasing that exact kind of target, testing whether your monitoring team would catch the intrusion before real damage was done. 
  • Goal based red team engagements

  • Phishing and social engineering simulations

  • Detection and response testing against MITRE ATT&CK

  • Physical security and access control testing

  • Collaboration with internal security or SOC teams

What Penetration Testing Costs in Montreal

Costs vary based on how many applications, networks, or cloud accounts are in scope and how deep testing needs to go. We quote most Montreal engagements after a short call to understand your environment, so there are no surprises once work begins. 

Every quote includes a free retest once remediation work is complete. Reach out for a custom scope

Support When You Are Working Against a Deadline

Whether a client just asked for proof of testing before renewing a contract, or an insurer wants documentation before renewal, we can move fast. Urgent requests get a same business day response, and we can loop in our incident response team directly if the request follows a security incident. 
  • Same business day response to new inquiries

  • Expedited scheduling for compliance or contract deadlines

  • Direct coordination with incident response for active incidents

  • Rush report delivery when timelines are tight

A National Firm With Local Understanding

Montreal's technology and gaming sector moves quickly, and its regulatory environment, including Quebec's Law 25, adds another layer of complexity for anything touching personal data. We bring national grade testing standards to that local context.
  • Manual first testing that goes beyond automated scans

  • OSCP, CISSP, GPEN, and CEH certified engineers


  • Reporting built for both engineers and executives

  • Zero false positives guarantee

  • Free retesting after remediation

  • Familiarity with Quebec's Law 25 privacy requirements

  • A technical report your developers can work from directly

  • A clear executive summary for leadership and investors

  • Direct access to the engineer who ran the test

  • Guidance through remediation, not just a list of problems

  • Documentation that supports cyber insurance and client security reviews

Offensive Security Services in Montreal: 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.

Can PlutoSec deliver reports in French?
Yes, we can provide bilingual reporting for Montreal clients who need documentation in both English and French. Let us know your preference when scoping the engagement.
Does penetration testing help with Quebec's Law 25 requirements?
Law 25 requires organisations to take reasonable security measures to protect personal information. A documented penetration test is one of the clearest ways to show regulators and clients that you have tested those measures rather than just assumed they work.
How long does a penetration test take for a mid sized company?
Most engagements run one to three weeks depending on how many systems are in scope, followed by a retest once fixes are applied.
