About us

We help online businesses
by making the world more secure

In our world, everything is registered online and connected. Cash flows, company data, and parts of your and my personal data. This puts us in a vulnerable position unless we protect that data. Our talent is to increase cyber security resilience by securing your digital assets.

Why us

You're wondering what makes us so different than the rest?

Creative

Technology is complex and requires curiosity and determination. Our hackers are inventive, automate where possible, test hands-on when needed. We reveal the unknown.

The best

Our hackers make exclusive quality accessible to everybody. We want to be the best in what we do. So we do what we do best: hacking. We make the world more secure.

Transparant

We offer you insight and a better understanding of the security of your digital assets with prioritised and hands-on recommendations. So you can do what you do best: run your business.

Human

At Hacksclusive, hackers have a face. Of course, we do a lot of our work remotely. Nevertheless, our hackers like to come to your site. To get to know you and share knowledge.

A fresher approach to cyber security

We are different: creative, exclusive and transparent.
