Corporate security rarely fails for lack of tools — it fails at the seams. The scanner whose alerts nobody triages, the incident closed without forensics, the certificate that doesn't reflect how the organization actually operates. Every additional vendor is another seam.
That is why one team covers the full cycle: vulnerability management to reduce exposure in a sustained way, managed SOC/MDR to detect and respond continuously, incident response with digital forensics and chain of custody when something happens, pentesting to validate real risk, and compliance and GRC to turn it all into defensible evidence. From prevention to recovery — and from the technical layer to the boardroom — as a single accountable MSSP or as an extension of your in-house team.
We solve three fronts at once: 24/7 monitoring and response with managed SOC/MDR, technical validation of your posture through pentesting and vulnerability management, and defensible compliance for ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA and ENS with controls, evidence and audit traceability.
SOC/MDR with SLAs, playbooks, criticality-based escalation and executive reporting built for leadership.
Pentesting, security audits and dedicated reviews of Microsoft 365 and cloud. Exploitable risk, measured.
GRC for ISO 27001, NIS2 and DORA with controls, evidence and traceability that stand up to audit.

The combination of ENS High, 5 ISO certifications and the Innovative SME seal shows that Hard2bit does not just deliver technical services: it operates with auditable processes, continuous improvement and in-house R&D capabilities applied to cybersecurity and compliance.
Especially relevant for regulated clients, public tenders and critical supply chains. Hard2bit operates as an enterprise MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider), cybersecurity consultancy and technical partner in a single point of contact: that unification cuts vendor-coordination costs and improves traceability for management, auditors and third parties.
We turn DORA, NIS2 and ISO 27001 into verifiable controls and evidence: traceability, owners, metrics and proof of operation. Not sure which regulations apply to you? Find out in 1 minute with our free regulatory assessment.
The same method in every service: understand the real risk, prioritize with judgement, and leave evidence that stands up to any auditor.
"The value was not in the report but in what came after: prioritization by impact, hands-on remediation support and re-testing. A tangible reduction in exposure on critical assets, and a much clearer conversation with the business and the auditors."
We do not use this section to promise universal results. Its purpose is to provide operational context and show how we approach projects where technical execution matters as much as the ability to justify decisions to auditors, leadership or regulators.
Hard2bit combines executive vision, security operations and real-world experience in audit, forensics, compliance and technology. Behind the services are identifiable owners with technical track records and delivery judgement.
More than 20 years in new technologies, digital forensics, IT services and information security, focused on strategy, innovation and growth.
Security operations, consulting and audit in corporate and regulated environments. CQI IRCA ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Auditor certified.
Governance, risk and compliance, digital forensics, technical security and audit at BNP Paribas Cardif, Mapfre and GMV.
Outcomes: risk reduction, executive clarity and verifiable evidence. For confidentiality, some testimonials show the role and sector instead of the organization's name.
"They showed responsibility and commitment at every stage of the project, delivering effective solutions adapted to our needs. Their information security expertise ensured we met our goal: achieving ISO 27001:2022 certification. A very satisfying experience that we gladly recommend."
"We would highlight their attentiveness and patience in making sure we understood everything, along with the follow-up throughout the process. They took the time to understand how we operate and what we need, and stayed on top of it."
"The technical review and the pentest were useful because there was remediation follow-up and later verification. It was not just a list of findings, but real help in closing exposure."
We publish practical guides for organizations comparing providers, preparing for audits or setting priorities in cybersecurity for businesses, compliance and GRC or Microsoft 365 Security.
Quick answers about Hard2bit as a company, cybersecurity services for businesses, SOC/MDR, audits, pentesting and service delivery across Spain, the EU and LATAM.
Hard2bit was founded in 2013 in Spain. By 2026 it has accumulated more than 13 years of cybersecurity work for businesses, with headquarters in Madrid (Leganés and Las Rozas) and operations across Spain, the European Union and LATAM.
Yes. Hard2bit is certified in ISO 27001, ISO 22301, ISO 20000-1, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. It also holds the Innovative SME seal and ENS High certification under Spain's National Security Framework (RD 311/2022). All certifications can be verified on our certifications page.
Hard2bit delivers cybersecurity services across all of Spain, with a direct presence in Madrid. We also work with organizations in Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Bilbao, Málaga and other cities, combining remote delivery with on-site sessions depending on the scope and criticality of each project.
We work with SMBs, mid-market companies, large organizations and regulated environments that need to combine technical security, continuous operations and the ability to demonstrate controls and evidence to management, auditors or third parties.
It usually fits when an organization needs continuous monitoring, detection and response capability, criticality-based escalation, playbooks and executive reporting. It is especially relevant in environments with high exposure, round-the-clock operations or regulatory requirements.
A technical audit reviews the configuration, exposure, controls and security posture of an environment. A pentest attempts to exploit weaknesses in a controlled way to validate real impact. They are often complementary: one helps assess posture, the other measures exploitable risk.
Beyond identifying findings, we help prioritize them, define remediation plans, provide hands-on technical support through closure and re-test where applicable. The goal is to reduce real risk, not just to produce documentation.
We help translate requirements into controls, owners, evidence and traceability. That can include implementation, internal reviews, audit support, roadmap definition and alignment between technical security and compliance.
It means Hard2bit meets Spain's National Security Framework (ENS, RD 311/2022) at its most demanding level, with 73 measures implemented across the five security dimensions — availability, integrity, confidentiality, authenticity and traceability — and is qualified to serve systems where an incident would have very serious impact. Certificate no. ENS_2.026.061, issued on 20 April 2026 by ACCM (Agencia para la Certificación de la Calidad y Medio Ambiente), a body accredited by ENAC under no. 48/C-PR503. The scope covers security governance, compliance and audit, managed security services (24/7 SOC, cloud security, vulnerability management, ethical hacking, digital forensics), development, R&D, AI/ML and IT infrastructure operations.
Weigh five verifiable criteria: (1) audited certifications of its own (ISO 27001, ENS), not just claimed ones; (2) genuine 24/7 operations with SLAs and documented use cases; (3) demonstrable technical capability through pentesting, audits and verifiable references; (4) sector experience in regulated or critical environments; and (5) documentary traceability to defend decisions before management or auditors. Hard2bit meets all five, with 5 ISO certifications of its own, ENS High and operations since 2013.
It depends on scope and maturity. As indicative references: a one-off pentest typically runs between €4,000 and €12,000, a managed 24/7 SOC/MDR between €2,000 and €8,000 per month depending on volume and SLA, and a NIS2 or ISO 27001 compliance project between €15,000 and €50,000 depending on the starting point. Hard2bit scopes engagements around real risk and criticality, not closed packages.
A cybersecurity company like Hard2bit covers four fronts: (1) prevention through technical audits, pentesting and vulnerability management; (2) continuous detection and response with 24/7 SOC/MDR, threat hunting and DFIR; (3) regulatory compliance (ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA, ENS) translated into controls, evidence and traceability; and (4) secure IT operations across Microsoft 365, cloud, identity and Zero Trust. All under a single team with ENS High certification and more than 13 years operating since 2013.
A typical Spanish MSSP covers a 24/7 managed SOC, vulnerability management, incident response (DFIR), Microsoft 365 security, threat intelligence and regulatory compliance (NIS2, DORA, ENS, ISO 27001). As an enterprise MSSP, Hard2bit adds pentesting, GRC consulting and in-house R&D (CortexShield for human risk, NormexAI for compliance automation), with a focus on regulated clients and critical environments.
AI is transforming both sides of the board: attackers automate more convincing phishing, deepfakes and adaptive malware, while defenders adopt AI-assisted detection and response automation. It also creates new attack surfaces: AI agents, corporate LLMs and shadow AI demand controls of their own. Hard2bit works on both fronts: R&D and applied AI for defence (CortexShield, NormexAI) and security audits of AI systems, agents and MCP, alongside EU AI Act compliance and ISO/IEC 42001 implementation.
