Penetration Testing in Richmond
Security testing for Richmond's tech companies and Asia-Pacific business corridor.
Sherlock Forensics provides penetration testing in Richmond, BC, including network, application, cloud and AI/ML security assessments. Testing starts at $1,500 CAD for a Quick Audit. The firm serves Richmond's technology sector, Asia-Pacific trading companies and YVR airport area businesses from its Metro Vancouver offices.
Richmond sits at the crossroads of Metro Vancouver's technology sector and its Asia-Pacific trade connections. The city hosts hundreds of tech companies, fintech startups and international businesses along the Canada Line corridor from Bridgeport to YVR. These organizations process sensitive financial data, manage cross-border transactions and operate customer-facing applications that require rigorous security testing. Sherlock Forensics provides penetration testing that identifies the vulnerabilities attackers actually exploit, not just the ones scanners flag.

Why Richmond Businesses Need Penetration Testing
Asia-Pacific Gateway
Richmond is Canada's Asia-Pacific business hub, with companies handling international trade, cross-border payments and multilingual e-commerce platforms. These systems face unique attack surfaces including payment gateway vulnerabilities, API integration flaws and data residency compliance challenges. Our penetration testers understand the specific risks that come with international business operations and cross-border data flows.
YVR Airport Ecosystem
The area surrounding Vancouver International Airport is home to logistics companies, airline service providers, cargo handlers and hospitality technology firms. These organizations operate under strict security requirements and often need penetration testing for PCI DSS compliance, supply chain security validation and pre-audit assessments. We test the systems these companies depend on and deliver reports that satisfy auditor requirements.
Richmond's Tech Sector
From gaming studios to SaaS companies, Richmond's tech sector builds applications that millions of users depend on. Pre-launch penetration testing catches authentication bypasses, injection vulnerabilities and business logic flaws before they reach production. For startups seeking funding, a clean pen test report demonstrates security maturity to investors and enterprise customers.

Web and API Testing
OWASP Top 10 and beyond for Richmond's web applications, e-commerce platforms and API endpoints. We test authentication, authorization, input validation and business logic for REST and GraphQL APIs.
AI Code Security Audit
Security audits for AI-generated code and vibe-coded applications built with Cursor, Bolt, Lovable and Replit. We catch the vulnerabilities that AI coding assistants introduce silently.
Vibe Coding Security
Dedicated security reviews for applications built entirely through AI prompting. Richmond startups using vibe coding to ship fast need security validation before going to market.
Local Advantage
Why Local Penetration Testing Matters
On-Site Security Assessments
Some penetration testing requires physical presence, from wireless network assessments to social engineering tests. Our Metro Vancouver team travels to Richmond offices for on-site testing that remote-only firms cannot perform. Physical security assessments of Richmond facilities are available as part of red team engagements.
Court-Ready Reporting
When penetration test findings become part of legal proceedings, having a local examiner who can testify in British Columbia courts matters. Ryan Purita provides expert testimony on security assessment findings and vulnerability disclosures in BC courts.
Regulatory Knowledge
Richmond businesses operating in regulated industries need penetration testing that aligns with PCI DSS, SOC 2, PIPEDA and BC PIPA requirements. Our reports map findings to compliance frameworks and provide the evidence auditors need.
ShadowTap Shipped to Richmond
