How do I get started with a security engagement?
Contact us at consulting@hackhouse.com or use our contact form. As an independent boutique consultancy, we take the time to understand your unique needs and tailor every engagement to your specific business context, threat landscape, and objectives.
What makes HackHouse different from other security firms?
HackHouse delivers the same depth of expertise you'd expect from large enterprise consultancies, but with a tailored, pragmatic approach suited to growing and mid sized businesses. With roots in Melbourne's hacker community, we bring a hands on, adversarial mindset to every engagement and invest the time to understand your business, not just your systems.
Do you work with small and medium businesses?
Absolutely. Our mission is to make enterprise grade security accessible to businesses of all sizes. SMBs face the same threats as large enterprises but with tighter budgets, so we've built our services and pricing around that reality.
Service Questions
How long does a typical penetration test take?
Duration varies by scope and complexity. A standard web application penetration test typically takes 1-2 weeks, while comprehensive network assessments or red team exercises may take several weeks to months. We'll provide a detailed timeline during scoping.
What frameworks and standards do you follow?
Our testing methodologies align with industry standards including OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), MITRE CWE, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework. We also follow relevant compliance requirements for your industry.
Can you help with compliance requirements?
Yes. Our security assessments can support compliance with ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and industry specific regulations. We'll work with you to ensure our engagements address your compliance needs while delivering real security value.
What's included in your reports?
Our reports include detailed findings with risk ratings, evidence (screenshots, proof of concept where applicable), business impact analysis, and prioritised remediation recommendations designed for both technical teams and executives.
