Black Shard

We build software.
We secure it.

Black Shard is an Australian software engineering and cybersecurity firm, headquartered in Brisbane.

Why we set
this up.

We started the company around a simple operating model: build software, operate it in production, and maintain the security capability required to protect it. Today that work spans software engineering, penetration testing, security advisory, compliance and incident remediation.

The systems we work on include clinical software, legal and compliance platforms, financial-services operations, property technology and recruitment systems.

That operating experience shapes the security practice. Recommendations have to work in a live environment. A control that only satisfies paperwork is not enough.

The firm, in brief.
