Agentic penetration testing

Every ShadeSec penetration test is led by a senior tester and augmented by agentic tools. The tools extend how much ground we can cover and what we can find. The tester decides where to dig, chains issues together and verifies every finding by hand.

For teams in Toronto and across Canada, that means deeper coverage in the same window and none of the noise: business-critical findings, proven and reproducible, from a team with offensive security experience at Microsoft, the Government of Ontario and Deloitte.

What makes our testing different

  • Agentic tools extend our reach: mapping, enumeration and variations there would not be time to test by hand.
  • A senior tester leads the work: business logic, chained attacks and judgment.
  • Every finding is verified by a person and reproducible, with a clear fix.
  • We can stay on to fix what we found, instead of handing it off.

How it works

We build and prepare everything along the way. A person always makes the final call before anything moves on.

  1. Scope

    Targets, rules of engagement and timing, agreed up front.

  2. Extend the search

    Agentic tools help map every endpoint, role and trust boundary, and test more variations than manual work allows.

  3. A tester goes deep

    A senior tester follows the promising paths, chains issues together and proves impact.

  4. Human checkpoint

    A person verifies every finding

    Nothing reaches your report unless a human has reproduced it.

  5. Fix and retest

    We help fix what we found, then retest to confirm it is closed.

Engagement types

  • Web application and API testing

    Authentication, authorization, business logic, tenant isolation and injection across your applications and APIs.

  • Cloud and infrastructure

    AWS, Azure and GCP configuration, identity paths, exposed services and internal networks.

  • Red team and adversary simulation

    Objective-based engagements that test detection and response, not just prevention.

  • AI agent architecture review

    We assume prompt injection will always work and test what it is worth: which tools, data and permissions a manipulated agent can reach. A well-designed agent has no security impact even when fully jailbroken.

  • Vulnerability management maturity

    We help you build the program that actions findings, from intake and ownership to SLAs and verification.
