About
8bytes.
A cybersecurity solutions company covering eight pillars of hands-on work. Senior practitioners, fixed-fee engagements, async-first delivery.
What we do
Cybersecurity, by hand.
8bytes is a cybersecurity solutions company covering eight pillars of hands-on work — from VAPT and red teaming through to incident response and security awareness. Offensive, defensive, infrastructure, and enablement, in one place.
Every engagement is scoped, executed, and reported by senior practitioners. There is no partner-led pitch followed by junior-staffed delivery. The person scoping the work is the person doing it.
We work async-first, deliver findings engineers can act on, and retest after fixes ship — within 30 days, included in the engagement fee.
How we work
Operating principles.
Four commitments that shape every engagement we take on.
Hands-on by default
No automated-only engagements. Every finding is validated manually with a working proof-of-concept.
Async-first delivery
Daily updates on critical findings, weekly syncs for the rest. No status meetings, no theatre.
Fixed-fee where possible
Most engagements scope to a fixed fee. Time-and-materials only when scope is genuinely unknown. Never an open meter.
Retest within 30 days
After fixes ship, every engagement includes a retest at no additional cost. Built into the fee.
