Offensive security testing should not end with a list of vulnerabilities.
Canary Trap brings an attacker’s perspective to every engagement, but the value lives in clear scoping, careful execution, defensible evidence, and reporting your team can use across technical, executive, and assurance conversations.
We specialize in offensive security testing, adversarial simulation, security control validation, and readiness-focused review.
Engagements are led by experienced specialists with the expertise required for the scope, whether that means applications, APIs, cloud, identity, infrastructure, AI/LLM systems, wireless, OT, or adversarial testing.
Findings are written with enough technical detail for remediation and enough business context for leadership, audit, customer, and board conversations.
Not every finding deserves the same response. We help your team understand exploitability, impact, attack paths, business risk, and what should be addressed first.
Testing can be complex. Working with your testing partner should not be. Engagements include clear expectations, project coordination, defined communication paths, and findings review.
A repeatable process from scope to verified improvement.
Every Canary Trap engagement follows a structured methodology designed to keep testing focused, evidence clear, and remediation practical.
Human-led · AI-enhanced
AI extends our reach. It never replaces judgment.
AI can accelerate offensive security work. It can help map large surfaces, summarize complex outputs, identify patterns, support reporting, and reduce repetitive effort. It cannot replace the judgment of a skilled tester.
Canary Trap uses AI and advanced automation where they improve speed, coverage, analysis, and clarity. Human testers remain responsible for validation, exploitation decisions, business context, risk prioritization, and final reporting.

Security testing should help teams make better decisions.
Canary Trap engagements are designed to create useful evidence, not just completed reports. These examples show the types of business moments our work supports across testing, remediation, assurance, and readiness.
The challenge
The organization needed more than an annual testing checkbox. Security leaders needed clearer evidence to prioritize external exposure remediation.
What we tested
Canary Trap tested public-facing systems, exposed services, validated vulnerabilities, and potential chained attack paths.
The outcome
The findings gave the technical team a clearer remediation path and gave leadership stronger evidence for roadmap decisions.
Why it mattered
External exposure became a prioritized business conversation, not another unresolved list of findings.
The challenge
A product team needed confidence before a major release and customer security review.
What we tested
Canary Trap tested authentication, authorization, tenant isolation, business logic, sensitive workflows, and application-layer exposure.
The outcome
The review surfaced issues that could be remediated before they became customer-facing concerns.
Why it mattered
The security team had stronger evidence to support the release, customer review, and internal product security decisions.
The challenge
The organization needed more confidence in Microsoft 365 identity, email, sharing, and collaboration controls.
What we tested
Canary Trap reviewed Entra ID, MFA, conditional access, Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, OAuth consent, logging, and Defender-related controls.
The outcome
The review helped prioritize identity, email, and data exposure improvements based on actual risk, not generic configuration advice.
Why it mattered
The team gained a clearer path to reduce account takeover, oversharing, and business email compromise exposure.
