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.

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.

Enterprise Expertise, SMB Pricing - We bring world-class technical knowledge and best practices, typically reserved for large organizations, and deliver them at a cost that makes sense for businesses of all sizes.

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