"We had our annual pen and vulnerability testing last month and EliteSec.io did an amazing job. John gave us a schedule and hit all the targets. At the end we received a very easy to read report and an attestation letter we can share with our customers and the price was great too. Thanks EliteSec.io we'll be contacting you in the near future for our next security test!"
"Working with John at EliteSec was a great experience - we're a small software company, and John was able to work with our budget to provide us with penetration testing for our web application. John was professional and prompt and helped us set up for the test and then provided a detailed report complete with steps to remediate any issues that were found. Looking forward to working with John again in the future!"
"We've had great success with the team at EliteSec. Their thorough review of our products and infrastructure have identified key areas for continual improvement that had been missed by other consultants. This extra front-loaded effort ensures that the solutions they provide align with our needs, not with a cookie cutter."
"Highly recommended. Professional, knowledgeable, high quality service. Have been working with EliteSec for years, and always recommend EliteSec to my customers."
"EliteSec provided a few different consultancy services for our organization including Information Security Consulting and Penetration Testing. We are a rapidly growing and scaling organization that required consultancy assistance with our security policies and protocols. Overall - great experience, very happy with the assets delivered."
"My software development team received a great training session from John at EliteSec. The session was targeted to our specific needs, and has helped our team gain the skills and knowledge required to be ready for future challenges. The team felt they were equipped with a good framework for identifying potential security problems going forward."
"Having worked with multiple security firms for Penetration Tests in the past, I can unequivocally say that EliteSec has changed the game. Starting with a collaborative conversation with someone who actively works to understand the business, to a detailed findings report that goes against dated competitors, EliteSec has been an absolute pleasure to work with."
"ElitSec has provided us with extensive security & penetration testing for gaining invaluable insight into potential risks and/or vulnerabilities we may have been exposed to through our development process. With John's help, we are able to provide, with confidence, application security across our platform to our clients. John was incredibly knowledgeable and responsive to all of our queries while providing very useful documentation to maintain the best security practices."
"We were about to publish a new web application developed for us by a third party. EliteSec completed a penetration and vulnerability test against the application and was able to work with us and the third party very effectively to remediate identified issues. John's work was excellent, and very detailed; not only providing the technical details, but also demonstrations of how discovered vulnerabilities could be exploited, and recommended solutions. The level of detail provided in the initial report, and remediation scan reports provided us with confidence to launch the application successfully and securely. Thanks John and the EliteSec team!"
"EliteSec did a great job of making sure we understood our own security needs and taught us the best practices to implement to ensure we maintain a secure environment as possible. Thanks John!"
Client Success Stories
EliteSec works with mid-sized enterprises facing high-stakes security requirements. We help you meet compliance, reduce risk, and turn security into a tangible advantage—one that your clients and stakeholders can see and trust. Security is more than a checkbox. Show your clients you mean it.
A Canadian insurance provider was preparing to launch a business-critical web application to their distribution partners—but the code came from a third-party contractor with limited ongoing support. With tight deadlines looming and sensitive client data at stake, they needed independent validation that the application was secure before rollout. Any undiscovered vulnerability could expose confidential information, destroy partner trust, trigger regulatory penalties, and derail their launch timeline.
"EliteSec completed a penetration and vulnerability test against the application and was able to work with us and the third party very effectively to remediate identified issues. John's work was excellent, and very detailed; not only providing the technical details, but also demonstrations of how discovered vulnerabilities could be exploited, and recommended solutions. The level of detail provided in the initial report, and remediation scan reports provided us with confidence to launch the application successfully and securely. Thanks John and the EliteSec team!"
