ABOUT OUR PENETRATION TESTING SERVICES
Penetration Testing Built Around Your Business, Not a Checklist
As a penetration testing company, we get asked the same question a lot: what actually makes a penetration test different from a scan? The answer is the person doing the work. Our penetration test service pairs OWASP, PTES, and NIST aligned methodology with certified testers who manually dig into your applications, networks, and cloud infrastructure, the same way a real attacker would, rather than running a tool and forwarding you the output. Every engagement is scoped to your business, tested by a senior engineer, and backed by proof of concept for every finding we report.
Penetration testing is a form of ethical hacking. Our testers use the same techniques a malicious actor would, from credential attacks to privilege escalation, with one difference: everything happens under your written authorization, inside an agreed scope, and with full documentation of every step. That authorization is what keeps the work on the right side of Canada's Criminal Code, where unauthorized access to a computer system is itself an offence. Our ethical hackers hold recognized credentials such as OSCP and CEH, follow strict rules of engagement, and stop immediately if a test risks disrupting your operations.

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.
What is penetration testing?
Penetration testing is a controlled, authorized attempt to exploit weaknesses in your applications,
networks, or cloud environment, to show what a real attacker could actually achieve.
How much does penetration testing cost in Canada?
Cost depends on scope, the number of applications or systems being tested, and the depth of testing
required. Most engagements are priced after a short scoping call, since a single web app and a full
network estate need very different levels of effort.
What is the difference between a penetration test and a vulnerability scan?
A vulnerability scan flags known weaknesses using automated tools. A penetration test goes further, with
a tester manually exploiting those weaknesses to confirm real world impact and rule out false positives.
Do you offer web application penetration testing specifically?
Yes. Web application penetration testing is one of our most requested services, covering authentication,
session management, access control, and the OWASP Top 10
How often should we run a penetration test?
Most organizations test at least once a year and after any major change, such as a new application launch,
an infrastructure migration, or a merger.
