Software engineering & offensive security · Canada

Safe passage
through hostile water.

Svonta builds software, attacks it before anyone else can, and keeps it standing. One crew, from first commit to last line of defence.

Every system has a way in.

We go there first.

The voyage

Seven disciplines.
One crew.

Most companies hire one firm to write the code and another to find out what is wrong with it. We do both, so what we learn attacking systems goes straight into how we build them.

Waypoint 01/07 · The Slipway

Web development and software engineering

Built by people who know how it breaks.

What this covers

Web applications, platforms and the systems behind them. Typed, tested and reviewed, with security designed in from the first commit instead of patched in after the first incident.

  • Web and cloud-native applications
  • APIs, integrations and data pipelines
  • Re-architecture of legacy systems
  • Performance and accessibility engineering

Waypoint 02/07 · The Bastion

Cybersecurity and penetration testing

Better us than them.

What this covers

We attack your applications, networks and people the way a real adversary would, inside a scope you sign off on. Then we write down exactly how we got in and stay until it is closed.

  • Web, API and mobile penetration testing
  • External and internal network testing
  • Red team and social engineering
  • Cloud configuration review
  • Retesting after remediation

Waypoint 03/07 · The Sonar

Bug bounty and vulnerability research

Most of it is below the waterline.

What this covers

We hunt for what scanners cannot see: broken logic, chained low-severity flaws, the bug that only exists when two services disagree. We also run and triage bounty programs, and handle disclosure properly.

  • Manual vulnerability research
  • Bug bounty program design and triage
  • Source code and binary review
  • Coordinated disclosure

Waypoint 04/07 · The Ice Sheet

Network security and infrastructure

One crack should not take the whole sheet.

What this covers

Segmentation, identity, monitoring and the unglamorous plumbing that decides whether an intrusion costs you a laptop or the company.

  • Zero-trust network design
  • Firewalls, VPN and segmentation
  • Monitoring, logging and detection
  • Hardening and infrastructure build-outs

Waypoint 05/07 · The Port

Cloud computing and DevOps

Kubernetes is Greek for helmsman.

What this covers

Cloud platforms and delivery pipelines that scale when you need them to, heal when something dies, and do not surprise you on the invoice.

  • AWS, Azure and Google Cloud architecture
  • Kubernetes and containers
  • CI/CD and infrastructure as code
  • Observability and cost control

Waypoint 06/07 · The Chart Room

IT consulting and technology solutions

Know where you are before you pick a heading.

What this covers

Independent advice on what to build, buy, fix or leave alone, from people who will also have to live with the answer.

  • Technology strategy and roadmaps
  • Security and architecture assessments
  • Vendor and platform selection
  • Fractional CTO and CISO

Waypoint 07/07 · The Shipyard

Digital products and SaaS development

An idea is not a product until it floats.

What this covers

From first prototype to paying customers: multi-tenant SaaS, billing, dashboards, and the boring parts that decide whether people stay.

  • Product discovery and prototyping
  • Multi-tenant SaaS platforms
  • Billing, authentication and admin tooling
  • Launch, iteration and support
