About Us | Secure Code Warrior

Our story

How we became the industry leaders in software security.

Founded in Australia by Colin Wong, Jaap Karan Singh, Matias Madou, Pieter Danhieux, Fatemah Beydoun, and Nathan Desmet.

After securing four major Australian banks as clients, the company embarked on a global expansion into the US and EU. This included the acquisition of the Belgian company Sensei, and appointment of its creators, Matias Madou and Nathan Desmet, to Secure Code Warrior’s founding team.

With the successful raising of Series A and B funding, the company fueled further growth and expanded into new verticals such as Healthcare, Retail/eCommerce, Manufacturing and Technology. During this period, they also signed Tier 1 enterprise clients, including HSBC and JPMorgan Chase.

The company strategically acquired the Icelandic technology company Adversary, secured Series C funding, and grew its customer base to 450 global clients. Additionally, they formed key partnerships with GitHub, GitLab, Contrast, and Synopsys.

Today, the company serves over 650 global enterprise customers and employs more than 200 people worldwide. It has been honored with over a dozen awards - including the 2020 SINET 16 Innovator Award and JPMorgan Chase & Co’s 2021 Hall of Innovation - and has achieved SOC 2 Type II certification.
