Senior practitioners. Real evidence. No agenda.
HackingByte exists to close the gap between a pen test, a compliance program, and a board decision — with one senior team and one reporting model.
- Senior-led delivery.
- No tools sold.
- Evidence-driven reporting.
Why we built HackingByte.
Buyers carry the cost of stitching three vendors together. We remove it.
How we’re built.
-
Senior-only delivery.
-
Independent (no tools, no commissions).
-
A small, deliberate roster that turns down work that doesn’t fit.
Founder.
Amine Cherrai
Founder & CEO, HackingByte
Amine Cherrai is the Founder & CEO of HackingByte. He has 20+ years of cybersecurity experience across offensive security, GRC, cloud security, and fintech security leadership.
His work connects technical evidence with business risk: from penetration testing and red teaming to ISO 27001, PCI DSS, DORA, and GDPR readiness. He has held senior security and compliance roles, served as a fintech CISO, worked as a consultant, and reported vulnerabilities through major vendor security programs including Google, Microsoft, and Meta.
At HackingByte, Amine leads a practical, evidence-first model: demonstrate the risk, map it to control and compliance pressure, and turn the finding into a decision the client can act on.
What we stand for.
-
Evidence over assumption.
-
From exploitability to business risk.
-
Practical over theatrical.
How we operate.
Senior-led, remote-first, with secure handling of engagement evidence.
If you’d rather talk to the person who’d do the work than a sales team, you’re in the right place.
