is the world's first not-for-profit computer security consultancy. We operate under an innovative new business model whereby we use a Dutch fiscal entity, called a “Fiscaal Fondswervende Instelling” (Fiscal Fund raising Institution), as a commercial front-end to send 90% of our profits, tax-free, to a not-for-profit foundation, Stichting NL net. The NLnet Foundation has supported open-source, digital rights, and Internet research for almost 20 years.

In contrast to other organizations, our profits do not benefit shareholders, investors, or founders. Our profits benefit society. As an organization without a profit-motive, we recruit top-name, ethical security experts and find like-minded customers that want to use their IT security budget as a "vote" to support socially responsible entrepreneurship. The rapid pace of our current growth reflects the positive response the market has to our idealistic philosophy and innovative business model.

has a number of values that we describe as our “Core Principles.” These are:

• No sketchy stuff
  We don't build surveillance systems, hack activists, sell exploits to intelligence agencies, or anything of the sort. If a job is even remotely morally questionable, we simply won't do it.
• Open-Source
  Releasing ALL tools and frameworks we build as open source on GitHub (a link to our GitHub page can be found on our website).
• Teach to fish
  During engagements, we will not only share our results with your company, but also provide a step-by-step description of how to perform the same audit or procedure without us. We want to demystify what we're doing. It's not rocket science, and we genuinely want to help your company improve its security posture, even if it costs us repeat business.
• IoCs for free
  Releasing ALL collected threat intelligence (Indicators of Compromise) into an open-source database that everyone can freely use. (Sanitized in agreement with customers.)
• Zero days
  We don't sell zero-days - we responsibly disclose them!
