What Miscreants does

Miscreants is a creative agency specializing in branding, marketing, web design, and product services exclusively for cybersecurity organizations. Founded in 2019, the company operates as Miscreants, LLC, a New York limited liability company with offices in New York and London, and positions itself as a "hacker-led" agency whose team combines practitioner-level cybersecurity knowledge with creative production capabilities. The firm's offering spans seven service verticals — Strategy, Brand, Product Marketing, Websites (built primarily in Webflow), Product Design, Motion, and Demand Generation — supplemented by a branded community merchandise store at shop.miscreants.com.

The company generates revenue through project-based Statements of Work signed with each client, with fees payable within 10 days of invoice receipt and 1% monthly late-payment interest. It maintains a lean core team of 1-10 employees and supplements delivery with a network of global independent contractors. The go-to-market motion is consultative and sales-led, initiated through a "Start a Project" contact form on the website and targeting forward-thinking cybersecurity organizations ranging from early-stage startups to established security vendors.

Miscreants' client roster spans roughly 20 named organizations, including HackerOne, MITRE Engenuity, Halcyon, Prompt Security (acquired by SentinelOne), Noname (acquired by Akamai), Assetnote (acquired by Searchlight Cyber), and Prime Security (BlackHat Startup Spotlight Champion 2025). The agency has built industry recognition through RSA Top 10 Finalist designations in 2024, Black Hat Spotlight Finalist in 2023, and BlackHat Startup Spotlight Champion in 2025, alongside community sponsorships of vx-underground, the Cybersecurity Marketing Society, and Sober in Cyber.
