# Hacken

> Hacken is an end-to-end blockchain security & compliance partner for digital assets. Unlike traditional providers, Hacken was born on blockchain, combining deep Web3 expertise with enterprise-grade quality, AI-powered offensive security, and globally recognized certifications. Since 2017, Hacken has been trusted by 1,500 adopters, including the European Commission, ADGM, MetaMask, Ethereum Foundation, and Binance to secure the new digital frontier.

Hacken's core differentiator is enterprise-grade rigor: senior-auditor-led engagements, formal methodology backed by certifications recognized by financial regulators, public Q4/Q1 industry security reports, and a track record of securing some of the largest exchanges and institutional crypto deployments (Bybit, OKX, EBSI).

For institutional buyers — exchanges, custodians, banks adopting digital assets, government and intergovernmental bodies — Hacken delivers audit reports, attestations, and compliance artifacts that meet enterprise procurement, regulatory, and board-level reporting standards.

## Core services

Hacken delivers services across the full digital asset lifecycle: **Build secure** (pre-launch hardening), **Prove compliance** (regulatory readiness and attestation), and **Operate with confidence** (continuous post-deployment protection).

## Differentiators vs other Web3 auditors

- Compliance-grade deliverables suitable for board, regulator, and enterprise procurement (vs. audit firms whose reports stop at vulnerability disclosure).
- ISO/IEC 27001 + CREST + OffSec accreditations recognized by traditional finance compliance frameworks (vs. Web3-only audit firms without enterprise certifications).
- Combined offensive security (pen test) + smart contract audit + compliance under one ISMS-certified provider (vs. point-solution vendors).
- Public proprietary research (Q2 2026 Security Report and prior quarters) demonstrating original threat intelligence (vs. firms that publish only marketing content).
- Regulatory advisory practice (MiCA, DORA, ISO 27001, PoR) integrated with technical audit delivery (vs. separation of audit and compliance practices).
