Hackhouse was born in Melbourne as a hackerspace, makerspace, and breakerspace - a place for builders, tinkerers, and innovators to explore, experiment, and create. From this community of curiosity grew Hackhouse, bringing the same hacker mindset to enterprise-grade cybersecurity: Enterprise-Grade Security. Without the Enterprise Price.

As an independent, boutique consultancy, we tailor every engagement to your specific needs. That spirit now drives our consulting practice. We bring the hacker mindset into everything we do penetration testing, application security, and tailored security consulting helping businesses stay resilient, creative, and ahead of threats.

We live by values that guide both our consulting and our community:

Results First Approach - Every engagement is focused on delivering measurable, meaningful outcomes. We prioritize actions that reduce risk, strengthen security posture, and create real business value.

Objective-Aligned Security - We design strategies that directly support your business goals. Security is not an abstract requirement it’s a tool to help you operate safely and achieve your objectives.

Tailored Engagements, Enterprise Expertise - We deliver tailored security engagements built around your organisation, not a template. We offer the same depth of expertise you would expect from large enterprise consultancies, delivered in a pragmatic and cost effective way suited to growing and mid sized businesses.

Practical Solutions - Our recommendations are actionable, tailored, and realistic. We focus on solutions that can be implemented effectively within your environment, ensuring lasting impact.
