DIFFERENCIATORS
Where Hackuity stands apart.
01
Built for your whole security stack
Connect findings from 130+ security tools, including Qualys, Tenable, Rapid7 and CrowdStrike. Hackuity normalizes everything into one place, without favoring one scanner or ecosystem.
02
Know exactly why something is critical
Every True Risk Score is explainable. See the threat signals, asset context and business weight behind it. Your team can understand, defend and tune every priority.
03
Turn priorities into remediation
Finding vulnerabilities isn't the hard part. Fixing them is. Hackuity routes vulnerabilities to the right owners, syncs with ITSM tools, tracks SLAs and proves remediation.
04
Your data. Your deployment.
Choose EU SaaS, hybrid or fully on-premise. Keep vulnerability data where you need it, with deployment options built for European security and regulatory requirements.
05
Deep integrations, not just connectors
Hackuity doesn't just ingest findings. It connects vulnerability data with assets, threat intelligence and remediation workflows, so teams can act from one place.
130+ INTEGRATIONS
Keep your scanners. Add the operating layer.
Hackuity is designed to work with your existing scanners, cloud tools, asset inventories, threat intelligence feeds, and ITSM workflows. Instead of replacing your stack, Hackuity connects it, normalizes it, and turns fragmented findings into operational action.

SCENARIOS
When teams choose Hackuity
SCENARIO 01
From Nucleus-centric VM to vendor-neutral CTEM
Nucleus is a capable vulnerability management platform. But if your stack includes tools beyond what Nucleus natively integrates, coverage gaps appear. Hackuity normalizes findings from every tool, 130+ connectors, no scanner bias, into one exposure view, and adds the CTEM operating model Nucleus does not provide.
SCENARIO 02
Building a Vulnerability Operations Center on top of Nucleus
Nucleus tells you what's vulnerable and surfaces risk priorities. It doesn't route ownership, enforce SLAs, or prove remediation progress to your board. Hackuity turns findings into a structured operational program, from triage to closure to reporting.
SCENARIO 03
Delivering managed vulnerability services at scale
Nucleus targets MSSPs but is not purpose-built for multi-tenant service delivery. Hackuity is designed for it from day one: isolated client environments, per-client reporting, and a scalable VOC model that grows with your practice without adding operational overhead.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask when comparing platforms
How is Hackuity's risk prioritization different from Brinqa's?
Brinqa uses AI-powered scoring through BrinqaIQ to surface risk. Hackuity's True Risk Score is built on a transparent, explainable methodology: every decision shows which threat signals, asset criticality, and business context drove the priority. More importantly, your team can tune it by perimeter, by asset type, by organizational context. You don't just trust the score, you understand and own it.
Hackuity vs. Brinqa
We're a European organization. Does that change the decision?
Yes, significantly. Brinqa is US-headquartered with limited EU data residency options. Hackuity is built in Europe, offering EU SaaS, hybrid, and fully on-premise deployment. For organizations operating under GDPR, NIS2, or sector-specific regulations, data residency and deployment control are not optional. Hackuity is designed for those requirements from day one.
Hackuity vs. Brinqa
Brinqa covers a broader range of cyber risk domains. Is Hackuity too narrow?
That depends on what you need to solve. Brinqa is a broad exposure management platform spanning VM, cloud, identity, and application security. Hackuity is purpose-built for Vulnerability Operations: 100% of R&D is focused on VM and VOC maturity. If your primary challenge is vulnerability management at operational depth, prioritization, orchestration, SLA enforcement, and measurable risk reduction, a dedicated platform will outperform a broad one every time.
