Find Your Gaps Before
An Attacker Does.
Real Attack Simulations. Actionable Findings. Documented Risk Reduction.
Most businesses assume their security tools are working. A penetration test tells you whether that assumption is correct — by attempting to break through your defenses the same way an attacker would, and documenting exactly what was found.
Your Expert Partner
The gap we find most often isn't in the tools — it's that nobody has tested them.
We conduct penetration tests and security assessments for Ontario businesses across healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and professional services — industries where a breach has regulatory and reputational consequences, not just IT ones. Our findings reports are written for business leadership, not just for security teams, so the risk is communicated in terms that drive action.

What Changes
What your organization gains from a proper security assessment.
Verified Security Posture
Not a checklist of what should be in place — an actual test of whether it works. You get confirmed evidence of what's holding and what isn't, documented in a findings report you can act on.
Prioritized Risk Remediation
Every finding is rated by severity and exploitability, so your IT team knows what to fix first. High-severity findings that take 30 minutes to remediate get prioritized over theoretical low-risk items.
Compliance Evidence
Penetration test results are required or recommended documentation for SOC 2, ISO 27001, cyber insurance applications, and client security questionnaires. We issue documentation formatted for these purposes.
Board-Ready Risk Report
Our executive summary translates technical findings into business risk terms your leadership team and board can understand and respond to — without a security background required.
The Plan
Getting started is simple.
Scope & Reconnaissance
We define the test scope with you — internal network, external perimeter, web applications, or social engineering. We then conduct passive reconnaissance to map your attack surface before any active testing begins.
Active Testing & Exploitation
We attempt to exploit discovered vulnerabilities using the same techniques a real attacker would use — privilege escalation, lateral movement, credential harvesting — and document exactly how far we were able to get.
Findings Report & Remediation
You receive a detailed findings report with severity ratings, exploitation evidence, and specific remediation steps for each finding — plus an executive summary for leadership and a verification retest once fixes are applied.
Most of the high-risk findings we document are fixable within a few weeks. The ones that aren't tend to be the ones nobody knew about.

Client result
“We thought we were in good shape. The pen test found a misconfigured VPN that would have given an attacker full domain admin rights. It was a two-hour fix. Without the test, we never would have found it until something bad happened.”

The Case for Penetration Testing
What Penetration Testing actually means for your business.
Security tools tell you what they blocked. A penetration test tells you what they missed. The distinction matters because configurations drift, credentials go unrotated, and backup jobs run without anyone verifying the restores. The attack surface grows quietly while the dashboard shows green. A properly scoped pen test is the most honest signal you can get about whether your security investments are actually working.
The findings from a penetration test also serve a growing number of commercial and compliance purposes. Cyber insurance applications increasingly ask for pen test results as evidence of security posture. Enterprise clients include security assessment requirements in vendor contracts. SOC 2 Type 2 certification requires evidence that security controls are tested, not just implemented. A well-documented pen test from ETG can be used across all of these purposes.
The other value of regular testing is the trend data it creates. A one-time pen test tells you where you are today. Annual testing tells you whether your security posture is improving, static, or degrading — and gives you a defensible record to present to your board, your insurer, or your clients when they ask how your security program has matured over time.
