About
A band of geeks who want a safer digital Québec
We are a team of enthusiasts based in downtown Montréal. Each of us wears several hats: offence, defence, cloud, compliance, training. And we share one conviction: local businesses deserve the same protection as large enterprises.
Geeks, but not only
We love understanding how things work, and above all how they break. That is what makes good penetration tests, and good audits.
But we also learned what matters most: a brilliant report is useless if leadership can’t understand it. So we explain in plain language, we prioritize, and we stay until it’s fixed.
Our hats
Offence
External, internal and web application penetration tests, always with written authorization.
Defence
Hardening, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, backups, MFA, DMARC.
Compliance
Law 25, insurance questionnaires, client and supplier requirements.
Teaching
Readable reports, leadership walkthroughs, team training.
Home-made tools
Our flash audit, checkers and generators are designed and maintained here.
Sharing
Sourced guides, unsponsored comparisons, glossary: all freely available.
Why we do this
More than 6 in 10 Québec SMBs were attacked in a single year (KPMG, 2023). Behind every attack are employees who can’t work, customers whose information is exposed, and sometimes a business that never recovers.
A better-protected business also means better-protected patients, customers and citizens. That is why part of our work is free: the tools, the guides, the first conversation. Security shouldn’t be reserved for those with a large IT team.
Why a caribou
The caribou is from here: it roams northern Québec, withstands −40 °C winters and travels in herds. Resilient, attentive, never alone: that’s how we see cybersecurity. The glasses? They’re for the geeks we are.
Our commitments
You meet the expert
The person you meet, in person or by video, is the one who performs the audit and presents the results.
French first, English too
Deliverables written in plain French, and in English on request.
Fixed price, no surprises
A firm quote before we start. If scope changes, we talk first.
Written authorization, always
No active testing without a signed mandate and clear rules of engagement.
Minimal data
We only access what’s needed and delete it at the end of the engagement.
Knowledge stays with you
Training and documentation, so you’re more autonomous after we leave.
In downtown Montréal
Our base is in downtown Montréal. We travel free of charge across Greater Montréal, and work remotely everywhere else in Québec.
Founding clients program
10 spots, on preferential terms
We are starting out and want to build our reputation on real results. The first businesses that trust us get preferential terms. In return, if you are satisfied once the engagement is over, you agree to provide a testimonial and let us show your logo on our site. No obligation if you are not.
