Who we are.
Certified, professional ethical hackers with a passion for cyber security—driven to exceed expectations and deliver real results.
About Us.
With over a decade’s pioneering work, Heretek stands at the forefront of cybersecurity innovation. Our seasoned expertise in Public, Financial, Gaming, and Defence sectors has solidified our reputation as the architects of excellence.
Heretek is a cyber security company built by hackers, for the real world. We’re a small but sharp team of security specialists who believe that breaking things is the first step to securing them. Whether it’s probing the edges of a new AI application or digging deep into enterprise infrastructure, we approach every engagement with curiosity, creativity, and a commitment to doing things right.
We’re not here to throw jargon around or sell silver bullets. We work closely with our clients to understand their unique challenges and provide clear, actionable advice that actually makes a difference. At Heretek, we’re driven by a passion for the craft, a healthy respect for the adversary, and a belief that security should empower, not hinder. If you’re looking for a partner who speaks your language—whether you’re blue team, red team, or somewhere in between—you’re in the right place.
MEET OUR TEAM.
We’re a tight-knit crew of security pros, hackers, and curious minds who love what we do. Each of us brings a different background—pen testing, incident response, red teaming, AI, and more—but we’re united by a shared obsession with breaking things safely and helping people build stronger defences. We’re hands-on, straight-talking, and always up for a challenge. Come say hi—we’re human first, hackers second.
ACCREDITATIONS & CERTIFICATIONS.
We take our craft seriously, and our certifications reflect that. Heretek holds organisational accreditations recognised by government and industry bodies, while our consultants carry individual, hands-on qualifications from globally respected schemes. Our expertise is grounded in Red Team offensive techniques, backed by a Blue Team understanding of defensive practices, meaning we don’t just identify vulnerabilities, we provide pragmatic, real-world guidance on how to fix them.
