Skillful · About us
The people behind Skillful.
We’re a small team in Vienna bringing together three fields that rarely meet: digital forensics, cybersecurity and software development. If you know how attacks unfold and how evidence is secured, you build better software.
Background
From investigations to everyday work.
Our roots are in solving digital crime: more than ten years of experience in international police units fighting cybercrime.
That experience shapes everything we do today – even where forensics isn’t involved. We build software to withstand attacks, websites that work cleanly and transparently, and reports that stand up to tough questions.
For projects that need more hands, we work with trusted partners we’ve known for years. You always keep the same point of contact – no agency machinery in between.
Values
How we work.
We don’t bill hours against tickets – we work on problems until they’re solved, then document them so they don’t come back.
02
Independent.
No vendor commissions. Our recommendations follow your problem, not a partner programme.
03
Documented.
Every decision, every change, every forensic step – reproducible and traceable.
04
Discreet.
What you share with us stays with us. An NDA is where we start, not something to negotiate.
Who we work with
From ministries to studios.
01
Public sector
Ministries, public authorities and international organisations: confidentiality, transparent methods and robust documentation.
02

People affected by online fraud, stalking or identity theft – and anyone who wants to protect their digital identity.
