Penetration Testing Services for Canadian Businesses
Canadian businesses handling personal information under PIPEDA — the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act — or provincial equivalents including Quebec’s Law 25, Alberta PIPA, and BC PIPA, are required to implement appropriate security safeguards to protect the personal information they hold. Penetration testing is the most widely accepted technical method for demonstrating that those safeguards are effective.
For Canadian SaaS companies working toward SOC 2 certification to close enterprise deals with US and European clients, Securify conducts penetration testing scoped to the SOC 2 audit boundary, producing a report that maps directly to the security trust service criteria your auditor will review.

PIPEDA and Provincial Privacy Law — What Penetration Testing Covers
PIPEDA Principle 7 requires organisations to protect personal information with security safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has stated that appropriate safeguards include technical measures such as security testing of systems that hold personal information.
Quebec’s Law 25, which came into full effect in September 2023, goes further — it requires organisations to conduct privacy impact assessments and maintain documentation of their security measures, with penalties of up to $25 million CAD or 4% of worldwide turnover for serious breaches.
Securify’s PIPEDA and Law 25 aligned penetration tests are scoped to cover systems that collect, store, or process personal information. The report documents the scope, methodology, findings, and remediation steps in a format suitable for OPC review and internal privacy compliance records.
SOC 2 Penetration Testing for Canadian SaaS Companies
Canadian SaaS companies selling to US enterprise clients or European buyers increasingly need SOC 2 Type 2 certification to close deals. SOC 2 auditors expect penetration testing evidence as part of the security trust service criteria documentation.
Securify scopes SOC 2 penetration tests around your specific audit boundary — the systems and services included in your SOC 2 scope — and structures the report so your auditor can map findings directly to the relevant criteria. If your audit window is approaching, we can prioritise the engagement to ensure testing is complete and findings are remediated before your auditor begins fieldwork.
