At Northwave, we believe that security extends beyond technology. Giving back to society, supporting inclusion, and helping others thrive are all part of what makes us who we are.
Cyber Heroes of the Future
Through our partnership with HackShield, we help educate the next generation on cyber safety. This gamified platform turns kids into junior cyber agents, teaching them how to protect themselves and others from online threats. By supporting HackShield, we’re proud to make cyber security accessible and exciting for the youngest members of society.
Supporting Life-Saving Missions
We’re also proud to work with the Mine Mark Foundation, a Dutch non-profit committed to reducing the dangers of landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) through education and prevention. Special thanks to our colleague Lala, who brought this impactful initiative to our attention.
Reservists Welcome
Some of our colleagues serve as reservists — and we fully support them. Their dedication to public service aligns with our core values of responsibility and reliability. We were honoured to be named Reservists’ Employer of the Year in 2020 for enabling our employees to contribute to national safety.
Championing Diversity in Tech
Through regular involvement with WICCA (Women In Cybersecurity Community Association) and the DiversITinitiative in Leipzig, we actively support gender diversity in cyber security. Whether we’re attending or hosting events, we’re committed to creating platforms for underrepresented voices — and encouraging our own colleagues to share their expertise.
Empowering Neurodiverse Talent
We proudly collaborate with ITvitae, contributing to their training programmes by providing expert-led security modules. Many of their interns, like Thomas, go on to become valued members of our team. These partnerships help us create a more inclusive and skilled cyber workforce.
Celebrating Our Cultures
With colleagues from over 33 nationalities, we don’t just talk about inclusion — we live it. From Mujaddara to Pfannkuchen, Krapfen to curry, our regular international food evenings are a joyful reminder of the rich diversity within our team.
At Northwave, social responsibility isn’t a side project — it’s woven into our daily work and community. If you’re looking to make a difference while making a living, there’s a place for you here.
