Black Shard

Cybersecurity services

We build, ship, and secure software.

Offensive testing, defensive advisory, compliance readiness, and secure-by-design builds, from a team that runs its own regulated SaaS in legal, clinical, and capital-markets settings. We know what we are testing for, because we build it ourselves.

How we engage

Sized to where you are.

From a one-off test to a standing security seat. Every engagement starts by reading your real operating risk.

  • SMBs & startups

    Fixed-scope test

    A one-off penetration test or assessment with a clear target, timeframe, and report.

  • Scaleups & mid-market

    Ongoing advisory / vCISO

    A standing security seat: strategy, review, and reporting on a regular cadence.

  • Regulated AU businesses

    Compliance programme

    A milestone-driven programme toward Essential Eight, SMB1001, ISO 27001, or Privacy Act readiness.

Every engagement is run by the team that holds SMB1001:2026 Gold and builds regulated software every day.

A pen test, a posture assessment, a compliance push, or a build done right from the start. We will scope it to your real risk.
