A firm that can build the system and break it.
W5 Technologies started from a simple observation: in Ghana, the people who build software and the people who test it rarely sit in the same room. Security arrives at the end, as an audit, after the expensive decisions are made.
We run two practices under one company. W5 Engineering builds backends and data platforms with security designed in. W5 Security tests, reviews and prepares systems for regulators. Each makes the other better.
