About Black Shard
An Australian firm of engineers, testers and incident responders.
The people who build a system work beside the people who test it and the people who run breach remediation.
The company
A client works with one team for the software, its hosting and its security.
One engagement covers the software, the cloud it runs on, the Microsoft 365 tenant around it and the cyber security services over all three.
A valuation practice, a law firm, an AFSL holder and a cardiology practice are among the firms that run their practice systems, sites and tenants with us.
We run Black Shard on software we built.
