Vulnerability Assessment

From $1,500 CAD · scoped to you

Scanning of your applications, APIs and networks, authenticated and unauthenticated, with every result checked by a person so you only get real findings. A risk-ranked report and an attestation letter you can share.

Book a discovery call See pricing
Delivered by a researcher with five published CVEs, including a CVSS 9.1 in the Mirai botnet.

Built for teams that...

  • Companies that need evidence of vulnerability scanning for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS or CyberSecure Canada Level 2
  • Teams that want a first look at their exposure before paying for a full penetration test
  • Buyers or insurers asking for a recent vulnerability assessment

What we do

  • Scope agreed in writing and an authorization to test signed before anything is scanned
  • Authenticated and unauthenticated scanning of the agreed applications, APIs, hosts and IP ranges
  • Every result verified by a person, with false positives removed
  • A risk-ranked report with severity, affected assets and how to fix each finding
  • An attestation letter for buyers and auditors, and findings tracked in your workspace
  • A recheck of fixed findings as an add-on

What you walk away with

You know what is exposed and what to fix first. When you need someone to try to break in rather than look for known weaknesses, the next step is a penetration test; when you need it every month, vulnerability management.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a penetration test?

A vulnerability assessment finds known weaknesses with scanning and confirms each one by hand. A penetration test goes further: a tester tries to exploit and chain weaknesses the way an attacker would, including business logic a scanner cannot see. Many frameworks accept a vulnerability assessment for scanning requirements and ask for a penetration test separately.

Will it be called a penetration test in the report?

No. The report and the letter say vulnerability assessment, because that is what it is.

Can it run every month?

Yes. That is our vulnerability management service: scheduled scans, triage and remediation tracking, with a monthly report.

The workspace is included, not quoted

The price above covers the work. It also covers where the work lives, which most buyers are quoted separately as an annual platform subscription.

Exceptions on a SOC 2 Type II built from nothing in-house

Published vulnerability research

Five published CVEs. CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1) is a flaw in the Mirai botnet itself, which gave defenders a way to shut down attacker infrastructure. CVE-2026-42626 takes HP ENVY 5000 printers offline from any unauthenticated device on the same network.

The printer is the one that matters on a compliance page: an asset nobody counts as a computer, on a flat network, downed by a device that never had to log in. Auditors ask how controls fail. We have found out first-hand.

A SOC 2 Type II built from nothing

At Humera, a venture-backed US security company, Jacob built the compliance programme in-house from nothing: no report, no policies, no documented controls. It ended in a Type II attestation with zero exceptions.

The platform stayed in production throughout, which is the part most readiness projects get wrong: controls are easy to design and hard to retrofit onto a system people already depend on.

Recent engagements

For a Waterloo data centre operator we ran SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 together rather than one after the other, across a production campus, an AI compute platform and a self-hosted collaboration stack. Scoped so further Ontario and Quebec sites enter as they reach production. Findings delivered and remediated.

For an Ontario medtech company putting an AI clinical assistant in front of practitioners, we ran the gap analysis and built the evidence programme behind their SOC 2.
