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 to build software, operate it in production and hold the security capability to protect it. Recommendations have to work in a live environment, so a control that only satisfies paperwork is not enough.
- Practice: software engineering, penetration testing, security advisory, compliance and incident remediation.
- Systems: clinical software, legal and compliance platforms, financial-services operations, property technology and recruitment.
