# XGRC® Hakware

_AI-Powered Security Testing Partner_

**Continuous, AI-driven penetration testing that keeps you one step ahead.**

Hakware is an AI-powered security management platform that tests your environment the way an attacker would, continuously, not once a year. XGRC® partners with Hakware to bring offensive security testing, unified vulnerability visibility, and dark web monitoring into the same governed environment as your ISMS.

## What it is

Hakware is a partner software solution that provides cyber security testing, vulnerability visibility and dark web exposure insight to support broader cyber governance.

## Overview

Hakware's AI engine (Archangel) runs offensive testing against your external environment the way a real attacker would, while OneView consolidates findings across firewalls, endpoints, cloud, and Microsoft 365 into one picture. Through the XGRC® partnership, findings feed directly into MSXCyber®, turning test results into governed risks, actions, and audit-ready evidence within your ISMS.

## When organisations use it

Organisations typically use Hakware, via the XGRC® partnership, when annual penetration tests leave eleven months of blind spots, security data is scattered across firewalls, endpoints, cloud and Microsoft 365 with no single view, and leaked credentials surface on the dark web before anyone internally notices.

## What it is not

Hakware is a partner software solution, not a replacement for MSXCyber® or technical security controls. It supports cyber testing and exposure insight as part of a broader cyber governance approach, findings feed directly into MSXCyber® as governed risks and actions.

## Challenges it addresses

- **Penetration tests happen once a year** — Annual pentests produce a point-in-time report. New vulnerabilities in the eleven months between tests go undetected.
- **Security data scattered across tools** — Firewalls, endpoints, cloud environments, and Microsoft 365 each report separately. No single view of actual exposure.
- **Manual triage misses what matters** — Security teams are buried in alerts. Human error and alert fatigue mean genuine vulnerabilities slip through.
- **Breaches discovered from the outside** — Leaked credentials and exposed data surface on the dark web long before anyone internally notices the exposure.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Hakware a native XGRC® product?

No. Hakware is a partner software solution. XGRC® partners with Hakware to bring their AI-powered testing findings into your governed ISMS via MSXCyber®.

### How often does Hakware test our environment?

Continuously, not annually. Hakware's AI engine (Archangel) runs offensive testing against your external environment on an ongoing basis, rather than a single point-in-time report.

### Does Hakware monitor the dark web for our data?

Yes. Hakware monitors for leaked credentials and exposed data on the dark web, surfacing exposure before it becomes a breach.

### How do Hakware's findings reach our governance records?

Through the XGRC® partnership, Hakware's findings feed directly into MSXCyber® as governed risks, actions and audit-ready evidence, not a separate, disconnected report.
