Why HackingByte for the EU
Senior-led, remote-first, and built for the EU regulatory load.
We are a senior-led cybersecurity firm operating remote-first across Europe — the people who scope your engagement are the people who run it. We hold no EU offices and claim none; what we bring is offensive security and GRC delivered by senior practitioners, wherever your organisation sits in the EU or EEA.
What sets the EU apart is the regulatory load — DORA, NIS 2, and the GDPR have turned cybersecurity from good practice into supervised obligation. Because we run the testing and the readiness with one team, the evidence a supervisor or an enterprise customer asks for is written by the people who can actually produce it.
What we do
Offensive security and GRC, under one senior team.
The core engagements EU organisations bring us in for — each ending in evidence you can act on.
-
Penetration testing
Manual, senior-led testing across web, API, cloud, and internal — the security-of-processing and resilience evidence EU customers and regulators ask to see.
-
Red teaming
Objective-based, threat-led testing of your detection and response — including the DORA-aligned threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) regulated EU financial entities need.
-
GRC advisory
ISO 27001 and SOC 2 readiness plus fractional CISO leadership — one control set mapped across the EU frameworks you answer to, so each obligation is an evidence exercise.
-
Security assessments
Risk, cloud-posture, and application-security reviews, plus cyber due diligence — the evidence EU enterprise buyers and NIS 2 supply-chain checks demand.
EU regulatory readiness
DORA, NIS 2, and the GDPR — readiness you can evidence.
The three frameworks that define EU cybersecurity obligation. We get you ready against each and produce the evidence — testing-informed, with interpretation left to your counsel.
-
DORA readiness
Operational resilience for financial entities and their ICT providers — ICT risk, incident reporting, third-party risk, and the resilience testing (TLPT) we deliver directly.
-
NIS 2 readiness
Risk-management measures, incident-reporting timelines, management accountability, and supply-chain security — worked against your member state’s transposition.
-
GDPR consulting
Security of processing (Article 32), records and accountability, data protection by design, transfers, and breach readiness — led by the evidence we can prove.

-
Digital infrastructure and ICT service providers.

SaaS and technology vendors selling into EU enterprises.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in the EU?
- No, and we don’t claim one. We’re senior-led and remote-first across Europe; what matters for EU work is the regulatory fluency and the evidence, both of which we deliver wherever you’re based.
Which EU regulations do you cover?
- DORA, NIS 2, and the GDPR as dedicated readiness engagements, plus ISO 27001 and SOC 2 through our GRC advisory. We provide compliance evidence and readiness, not legal advice — interpretation stays with your counsel.
Can the testing and the compliance run as one programme?
- Yes — that’s the point. DORA’s resilience testing (TLPT) and the GDPR’s Article 32 testing requirement are delivered by the same team that runs your red team and penetration tests, so the evidence is produced once.
We operate in the EU and the UK — can you handle both?
- Yes. We scope each regime separately: NIS 2 for the EU, the UK’s own NIS Regulations 2018 for the UK; EU GDPR and UK GDPR likewise. We never pitch an EU obligation as a UK one.
Tell us which EU obligations are bearing down and what you need to evidence — we’ll scope the right engagement.
