Not your regular consultants.
We are not your regular consultants who come in, speak in jargon, draw a strategy and leave. We work with you so you succeed, because only then do we succeed.

Our story
Helping Aussie businesses since 2017.
2017 - The Beginning
We started 9T5 in the Australian summer of 2017. The plan was simple. Take our software development and consulting work and make it available to teams around the world.
Growth Phase
Liaqat joined as a co-founder soon after. He brought the energy and technical depth we needed to turn the plan into a real business. From that point on, 9T5 grew steadily and never looked back.
2026 - cirmp AI
We released cirmp AI, an AU-hosted compliance engine for the section 30AC CIRMP. It pushes our cyber security work deeper into Australia's critical infrastructure regime and points to where the next chapter of 9T5 is heading.
Today
Today our software development teams sit across Australia and South Asia. We work with Australian, British, Korean and international businesses to help them build, ship and run real digital products. At 9T5, our story is not just about where we have been. It is about where we are heading.

Our approach
How we work with you.
We do not sell frameworks or certifications. We work alongside you to solve real problems.
We problem-solve together.
You know your problems better than us. We work with you to solve them using our experience.
We co-create.
We do not sell cookie-cutter solutions. We co-create products your customers love.
We help you define and refine ways of working.
We understand your strengths and weaknesses first, then help your team define ways of working that fit you.
We uplift your teams.
Our coaches and trainers do not sell certifications. We train and coach on real-world knowledge for a sustainable future.
