Executive security training, built by the practitioners who run the audits
One- to three-day programs for boards and C-suite, delivered by the Hackeners who run live DORA, ISO 27001, CCSS, VARA, and MiCA engagements. Your licence, your business model, your existing artifacts — the training is built around them.
Your leadership works through the real failure modes we see in live audits, on your own risk registers, incident reports, and testing programs. They keep a direct line to the instructor between sessions, and leave with artifacts they can take straight into the next audit committee.
That is what we build.

Each role is accountable for the framework within its own domain.
Heads of Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit
Responsible for challenging the framework and identifying gaps ahead of the regulator.
Senior Engineering & Security Leadership
Translate the framework into operational controls.
ICT Third-Party Providers
In scope under DORA, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 when serving regulated entities.
Frameworks we train
Choose the framework. We build the program around your entity, your artifacts, and your leadership responsibilities.
For financial entities, CASPs, and ICT third-party providers preparing for DORA governance, ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, TLPT, third-party risk, and information-sharing expectations.
The program is built for the people who must understand, approve, oversee, and challenge the ICT risk management framework – not just document it.
ICT security obligations and governance requirements for crypto-asset service providers and issuers under MiCA Title V.
Training covers what CASPs and issuers must evidence for authorisation, and how supervisory bodies will assess operational readiness.
Leadership obligations, management review requirements, and governance responsibilities under ISO 27001:2022.
We train leadership on what top management must own, how to run an effective management review, how to read audit findings, and what an ISMS audit committee agenda should cover.
Security governance and operational requirements for organisations that hold, transact, or accept cryptocurrency.
Leadership training on CCSS Level I-III requirements, what assessors look for in governance artefacts, and how to read a CCSS assessment report.

Any framework we audit – NIS2, SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR, sector-specific standards – scoped to your audience and existing maturity.
We scope custom programmes against your existing policies, risk register, and current maturity level. Available for any framework we actively audit.
What your team gets
Every program leaves your team with working artifacts — hand-built by the experts who ran it, and yours to keep long after the engagement ends
Customised training materials
Slide decks our experts build around your licence type, your assets, your third parties, and the real gaps they find in your setup.
Recommendations memo
A short, named-owner memo summarising the gaps surfaced during the training and the priority closures.
Inter-session instructor access
Between training days, your team has a direct line to the instructor for follow-up questions via slack/teams channel or email.
Mock examination and certification
We close the programme with a mock exam aligned to the relevant framework, calibrated against supervisory questioning style. Participants who pass receive a Hacken-branded certificate of completion.
Live training sessions
One- to three-day programmes delivered on-site or remotely. Mix of regulator-style briefings, working sessions on your real artifacts, and Q&A with an instructor.
How the training engagement works
A defined five-step path from first scoping call to mock exam — so you know exactly how the engagement runs before you commit.
We start with a kickoff meeting with the sponsor, usually the CISO, Head of Compliance, Head of Risk, or executive owner. We define the audience, framework, timeline, current maturity, existing artifacts, known gaps, and expected outcome. Output: scoped training plan.
We adapt the base curriculum to your entity. Your asset categories, third parties, critical functions, control environment, and available evidence are used to shape examples and working exercises. NDA is signed before any material exchange.
The training is delivered over one to three days, depending on the audience and depth required. Each module is designed around practical decisions and artifacts that regulators demand.
Between sessions, the lead instructor remains available for follow-up questions. Use it to clarify a regulatory ambiguity, review a draft policy, or sanity-check a decision before the next audit committee.
A scenario-based mock examination aligned to the training scope. Upon successful completion participants receive Hacken-branded certificate of completion.
