Our Mission • UK Cybersecurity Engineering

Enterprise-grade security shouldn't require an enterprise budget.

HackGuardX was founded on a simple observation: 99% of UK businesses are small or medium-sized, yet almost every cybersecurity platform is priced and designed for FTSE 100 security operations centres.

Why We Built HackGuardX

Small businesses are told to either pay £10,000 for a once-a-year penetration test or decipher complex open-source scanners. We built HackGuardX to provide continuous, automated discovery from £39/mo.

Radical Honesty & Safety

We never use scaremongering or fake urgency. We cite official UK NCSC, DSIT, and ICO evidence, enforce strict ownership verification before active testing, and eliminate false-positive noise.

Built for Both MDs & Engineers

Every finding in HackGuardX has two layers: a plain-English business explanation for Managing Directors, and copy-paste CLI/code remediation for developers and IT providers.

Our Principles for UK Cybersecurity

  • 100% transparent GBP pricing published openly on our website.
  • Strict adherence to the UK Computer Misuse Act 1990 and verified target authorisation.
  • Read-only cloud and Microsoft 365 inspection—we never read staff emails or mutate production data.
  • Direct alignment with NCSC Cyber Essentials and UK GDPR Article 32 regular testing requirements.
