EliteSec

EliteSec is a boutique cybersecurity consultancy founded in 2019 and based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The company is led by John Svazic, CEO and Principal Consultant, who personally oversees every client engagement. EliteSec serves mid-market enterprises, providing certified penetration testing and pragmatic security leadership services. The firm holds ISO27001 certification and CREST accreditation for penetration testing, and positions its testing methodology as going beyond automated vulnerability scanning to identify business logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, and real-world attack paths through manual expert analysis. Services include certified penetration testing, security program design, and compliance-oriented documentation intended for boards and auditors. EliteSec emphasizes direct client interaction with its founder rather than delegation to junior staff, and brings in trusted specialists under its own oversight when additional expertise is required. The company's approach is described as aligning recommendations to a client's specific threat model, compliance requirements, and business priorities rather than following generic checklists. EliteSec is Canadian-owned and operated.
