Welcome to Hacker Watchdog.
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of hackerwatchdog.com and any content, resources, features, or information made available through the website.
The website is operated by Hacker Watchdog LLC (“Hacker Watchdog,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a company based in New Jersey, United States.
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website.
Hacker Watchdog provides cybersecurity, risk management, compliance readiness, advisory, monitoring, and related services to businesses.
Information on this website is intended to explain our services, provide general cybersecurity and compliance education, and help prospective clients determine whether Hacker Watchdog may be a good fit for their needs.
Specific services provided to a client may be governed by a separate:
If there is a conflict between these website Terms and a separately signed agreement concerning services provided by Hacker Watchdog, the signed agreement will control with respect to those services.
You may use this website only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
You agree not to:
We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the website if we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated.
Content provided on the Hacker Watchdog website—including blog articles, guides, checklists, educational materials, assessments, examples, and other resources—is provided for general informational and educational purposes.
Cybersecurity risks and compliance requirements vary significantly from one organization to another.
Information on this website should not be treated as a substitute for an assessment of your organization’s specific systems, risks, regulatory obligations, contractual obligations, or security environment.
You should not make significant cybersecurity, legal, regulatory, compliance, insurance, or financial decisions solely on the basis of general information published on this website.
Hacker Watchdog provides cybersecurity and compliance-related services, but information on this website does not constitute legal, accounting, tax, insurance, or other regulated professional advice.
References to laws, regulations, frameworks, industry standards, or compliance requirements are provided for informational purposes.
Organizations should consult qualified legal counsel, accountants, auditors, insurance professionals, or other appropriate advisers when professional advice is required.
Nothing on this website creates an attorney-client, accountant-client, auditor-client, or similar professional relationship.
No cybersecurity program, product, service, configuration, control, or technology can eliminate all cybersecurity risk.
Cyber threats, vulnerabilities, attack techniques, technologies, systems, and business environments continually change.
Accordingly, Hacker Watchdog does not represent or warrant that:
Cybersecurity is an ongoing risk-management process rather than a guarantee of absolute protection.
Hacker Watchdog may assist organizations with cybersecurity and compliance readiness relating to frameworks, regulations, contractual requirements, or insurance expectations.
However, unless expressly stated in a written agreement, we do not guarantee that use of our website, services, recommendations, or resources will result in:
Final compliance determinations, certifications, attestations, insurance decisions, and regulatory decisions are made by the applicable third party, auditor, regulator, insurer, certification body, or other authority.
Where an independent audit, examination, attestation, or certification is required, Hacker Watchdog’s role may be limited to preparation, implementation support, remediation, readiness, advisory services, or coordination.
Cybersecurity depends on cooperation between technology providers, business leadership, employees, vendors, and other stakeholders.
If you engage Hacker Watchdog for services, your responsibilities may include providing accurate and complete information, maintaining appropriate backups, granting necessary access, implementing agreed recommendations, maintaining supported systems, notifying us of material changes, and following agreed security procedures.
Specific responsibilities will be described in the applicable service agreement, proposal, or Statement of Work.
Hacker Watchdog is not responsible for delays, failures, vulnerabilities, incidents, or other outcomes resulting from materially inaccurate information, withheld information, unauthorized system changes, unsupported technology, third-party failures, failure to implement agreed recommendations, or actions outside our reasonable control, subject to the applicable written agreement.
You may not use information from our website as authorization to perform vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, exploitation, security testing, or other intrusive activity against systems that you do not own or have explicit permission to test.
When Hacker Watchdog performs authorized cybersecurity assessments, testing, scanning, or related activities for a client, the permitted scope, systems, methods, timing, and authorization will be defined separately in writing.
Nothing on this website constitutes authorization to access or test Hacker Watchdog’s systems or the systems of any third party.
Hacker Watchdog may recommend, implement, configure, integrate, or link to products and services provided by third parties.
Examples may include:
Third-party products and services are governed by their own terms, licenses, privacy policies, warranties, service levels, and other conditions.
Hacker Watchdog does not control third-party services and, except as specifically provided in a written client agreement, is not responsible for their availability, performance, security, privacy practices, pricing changes, outages, or actions.
References to third-party products, vendors, standards, or organizations do not necessarily constitute an endorsement.
Our website may contain links to websites, platforms, resources, or services operated by third parties.
These links may be provided for convenience or informational purposes.
We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their:
Your use of third-party websites is subject to their own terms and policies.
Unless otherwise stated, the Hacker Watchdog website and its original content are owned by or licensed to Hacker Watchdog LLC.
This may include:
These materials may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You may view and use publicly available website materials for your own legitimate internal or personal informational purposes.
Unless we provide written permission, you may not:
You may link to publicly accessible pages on our website as long as the link is not misleading and does not falsely suggest endorsement, sponsorship, or partnership.
Hacker Watchdog may make checklists, templates, assessments, guides, reports, tools, or other resources available at no charge.
Unless otherwise stated, these resources are provided for general informational and internal business use.
They may not be resold, republished, redistributed commercially, or presented as the work of another organization without our permission.
Free resources are not a substitute for professional cybersecurity, legal, regulatory, or compliance advice tailored to your organization’s circumstances.
If you submit information through a form, email, consultation request, or other website feature, you represent that the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to provide it.
Please do not send passwords, authentication credentials, private encryption keys, sensitive personal information, protected health information, confidential client records, or other highly sensitive information through public website forms unless Hacker Watchdog specifically instructs you to do so using an approved method.
Submission of an inquiry does not create a client relationship.
A client relationship begins only when Hacker Watchdog and the applicable client enter into an appropriate agreement or otherwise expressly establish the engagement in writing.
Prices or service information displayed on the website, if any, may change and may not apply to every organization or engagement.
Final pricing may depend on factors such as:
Specific fees, payment schedules, renewal terms, cancellation terms, and other commercial conditions will be provided in the applicable proposal, invoice, Statement of Work, service agreement, or other written arrangement.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, submitting a website inquiry or scheduling a discovery call does not obligate either party to purchase or provide services.
We work to keep the Hacker Watchdog website available and accurate, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access.
The website may occasionally be unavailable due to:
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the website without prior notice.
We make reasonable efforts to provide useful and current information.
However, cybersecurity technologies, threats, regulations, compliance frameworks, insurance requirements, vendor products, and industry standards can change quickly.
We therefore do not warrant that all website content will always be complete, current, error-free, or applicable to every situation.
If you identify information that you believe is incorrect or outdated, please contact us at info@hackerwatchdog.com.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the website and publicly available website content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
Hacker Watchdog disclaims warranties regarding the website, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, and availability, to the extent such warranties may lawfully be disclaimed.
This section relates primarily to use of the public website.
Any warranties relating to paid services are governed by the applicable written service agreement.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Hacker Watchdog LLC and its owners, employees, contractors, affiliates, and representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising solely from your use of, or inability to use, the public website or reliance on general information provided through it.
This may include loss of profits, revenue, data, business opportunities, goodwill, or other intangible losses.
In any event, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of Hacker Watchdog LLC arising from or relating to your use of the public website will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
Liability relating to paid cybersecurity or professional services will be governed by the applicable written service agreement.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Hacker Watchdog LLC and its owners, employees, contractors, affiliates, and representatives from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and reasonable costs arising from:

To the extent permitted by law, disputes arising specifically from use of the public Hacker Watchdog website will be subject to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts located in New Jersey.
Separate service agreements may contain their own dispute resolution, governing law, venue, arbitration, or other provisions. Where applicable, those provisions will govern disputes relating to the services covered by that agreement.
If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
If Hacker Watchdog does not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean we waive our right to enforce it later.
We may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes in:
When changes are made, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
