Toronto
Forensic expertise and penetration testing for Bay Street, Canada's fintech hub and the GTA.
Sherlock Forensics provides digital forensics services in Toronto, including computer forensics, mobile device analysis, penetration testing starting at $1,500 CAD and incident response. Headquartered in Metro Vancouver with offices in Burnaby and Coquitlam, BC, the firm serves Toronto through remote penetration testing via ShadowTap and travels for on-site forensic evidence collection.
Toronto is Canada's financial capital and its largest technology hub. Bay Street's banks, investment firms and insurance companies operate under some of the most rigorous cybersecurity requirements in the country, regulated by OSFI and subject to PCI DSS, SOC 2 and a growing web of federal and provincial privacy obligations. Beyond financial services, Toronto's tech corridor from the MaRS Discovery District to Liberty Village to Kitchener-Waterloo produces fintech platforms, AI startups and enterprise SaaS products that process sensitive data at massive scale. Sherlock Forensics brings nearly two decades of forensic and security expertise to Toronto organizations, delivered remotely via ShadowTap for penetration testing and through on-site engagement for forensic evidence collection.
Toronto Digital Forensics
Toronto's financial district concentrates more banking, insurance and investment management activity than any other Canadian city. These institutions face constant threats from organized cybercrime groups, nation-state actors and insider threats. OSFI's technology and cyber risk management guidelines (B-13) require federally regulated financial institutions to conduct regular security assessments. We deliver penetration testing that satisfies regulatory requirements and identifies the actual vulnerabilities that threaten financial operations, from trading platform security to payment processing infrastructure.
Toronto and the broader GTA host thousands of technology companies, from pre-seed startups to publicly traded enterprises. These companies build platforms that handle millions of user records, process financial transactions and integrate with enterprise systems. Pre-launch penetration tests, AI code security audits and vibe-coding security reviews help Toronto tech companies ship securely and demonstrate security maturity to investors and enterprise customers. Our assessments are delivered remotely, meaning Toronto companies receive the same quality and turnaround as our Metro Vancouver clients.
Many of Canada's largest organizations are headquartered in Toronto but operate nationally. We serve these organizations across all Canadian provinces, providing consistent security assessment methodology regardless of location. ShadowTap devices can be shipped to any Canadian office for internal penetration testing, and our remote assessment capabilities mean geography is not a constraint for external security testing, AI code audits or application security reviews.

Sherlock Forensics is headquartered in Metro Vancouver with offices in Burnaby and Coquitlam, BC. We have served clients across Canada since 2006. Toronto organizations benefit from working with a firm outside the local market, providing independent assessment perspective that complements existing Toronto-based security relationships.
Ryan Purita provides expert witness testimony in Canadian courts, including Ontario courts. For Toronto litigation, corporate investigations and regulatory matters, our forensic reports are prepared to meet Canadian evidentiary standards and withstand cross-examination in any jurisdiction.
Toronto organizations must comply with PIPEDA, Ontario's privacy framework and sector-specific regulations from OSFI, IIROC and provincial securities commissions.
