Frequently asked questions

SteelBinary is a cybersecurity and IT consultancy based in Vancouver, BC. We help organizations secure their infrastructure, software, cloud, and AI adoption across five areas: cybersecurity, secure software engineering, cloud solutions, AI security & governance, and technology consulting.

We're based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and work with clients across Canada and the United States. Most engagements are delivered remotely, with on-site work arranged when a project calls for it.

The fastest way is to call us at +1 (236) 558-4389 or send a message. A first conversation is a no-pressure scoping call: we learn your systems, constraints, and real risk surface, then outline what an assessment would cover and cost for your situation.

Penetration testing is a controlled, real-world attack simulation that finds what an automated vulnerability scanner alone misses. If you handle sensitive data, face compliance requirements, or are shipping software to customers, a periodic pen test is one of the clearest ways to understand where you are actually exposed. See our cybersecurity services.

As teams adopt tools like Copilot, ChatGPT, and custom LLM features — often without IT sign-off ("shadow AI") — new risks appear: sensitive data exposure, prompt injection, and compliance gaps. AI security and governance means getting visibility into how AI is actually used, setting workable policies, and reviewing AI systems before they become a liability. More on our AI Security & Governance page.

We design security into the target architecture up front rather than bolting it on after go-live, and sequence the migration around risk to minimize downtime and exposure during the transition. That includes access review, configuration hardening, disaster recovery, and ongoing posture management. See Protected Cloud Solutions.

Both. Our work spans organizations in finance, healthcare, government, and technology, from smaller teams to larger enterprises. Engagements are scoped to your size and risk profile rather than forced into a one-size-fits-all package.

We work across finance, healthcare, government, manufacturing, retail, technology, and energy — shaping security around each sector’s specific compliance burden and threat profile. See Industries.

It depends on scope — the systems involved, the depth of assessment, and whether you need a one-time engagement or ongoing managed services. We scope and price per engagement after an initial conversation rather than quoting a flat rate blind. Call us and we’ll give you a clear picture of what your situation would take.
