Identify your weakest points before attackers do.

Protect your business with expert penetration testing that prevents breaches, ensures compliance, and reduces cyber risk.

Overview

One cyber incident can cost your business dearly. That's why forward-thinking organizations in Calgary and across Alberta are turning to regular penetration testing to achieve critical security outcomes

Prevent Incidents

Find and fix vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them, avoiding costly breaches and downtime.

Protect Sensitive Data

Safeguard customer information and intellectual property by identifying unseen security gaps.

Accelerate Compliance

Meet and maintain standards like SOC 2, PCI-DSS, or HIPAA by fixing security weaknesses before audits.

Prioritize Fixes

Get clear, risk-ranked findings so your IT team knows what to fix first for the biggest impact.

Demonstrate Progress

Track and demonstrate your security improvements to executives, boards, and insurers with objective test results.

Multi-Test Options

We offer flexible multi-engagement options—quarterly, biannual, or custom schedules—so your security posture stays current.

Our Approach

Automated platform + expert human analysis. s01ve uses a hybrid testing model that combines an AI-driven automated pentesting engine with deep human expertise. This approach delivers fast, thorough results without burdening your team

Speed and Depth

Our autonomous scanning platform uncovers vulnerabilities across your network in hours, not weeks. Seasoned security experts then validate and investigate critical findings for depth and accuracy.

Actionable Results

Every finding includes clear remediation guidance. We prioritize issues by risk, so you get a focused action plan to strengthen your defenses.

Minimal Disruption

Testing is conducted safely and efficiently, usually requiring only a brief kickoff and wrap-up. Your team stays focused on daily operations while we find the weaknesses.

Business-Aligned Reporting

We deliver an executive-friendly summary alongside technical details. You'll see how each issue impacts your business and compliance posture, with recommendations that fit your reality.

Types of Penetration Testing We Provide

We focus on the areas that matter most to modern organizations where attackers strike first and where small oversights can cause major impact. Each test type delivers clear, prioritized results to help your team close gaps fast.

01

External Penetration Testing

Simulates real-world attacks from the open internet to identify exploitable paths caused by weak credentials, misconfigurations, or unpatched vulnerabilities in public-facing systems such as web servers, APIs, and firewalls.

02

Internal Penetration Testing

Assesses your internal network and user environment to reveal what could happen if an attacker gains a foothold inside. This test identifies privilege escalation opportunities, lateral movement paths, and insecure internal configurations that traditional tools often miss.

03

Cloud & Identity Testing

Evaluates your cloud infrastructure and identity access controls to uncover misconfigurations, overly permissive roles, and exposed credentials. We test across environments such as AWS, Azure, and Microsoft 365 — including identity systems like Entra ID and hybrid Active Directory — to ensure no hidden privilege paths exist.

04

Kubernetes & Container Testing

Examines the configuration and security posture of Kubernetes clusters and containerized workloads. We identify misconfigurations, exposed APIs, and risky network policies that could allow unauthorized access or privilege escalation within your environment.

05

Active Directory & Credential Audits

Tests your identity backbone by evaluating password policies, credential reuse, group memberships, and potential privilege escalation within Active Directory or Entra environments. Weak or misconfigured accounts are among the most common breach vectors — and we help you eliminate them.

A partnership you can depend on.

40% Risk Reduction in 30 Days: A mid-size manufacturing firm fixed 40% of its high-risk vulnerabilities within one month of our test, dramatically lowering their breach risk and insurance premiums.

Immediate Credential Lockdown: Our team discovered exposed admin credentials at a healthcare organization and helped remediate them on the spot - averting a potential data breach of thousands of patient records.

100% Fix Confirmation: After a financial company addressed the findings we identified, our complimentary retest verified 100% of critical issues were resolved. The result was a clean security bill of health in time for their compliance audit.
