Software shaped around the way you work.
The Bent Spatula is an independent software studio. We design and build bespoke applications, integrations and tooling for organisations whose needs don't fit an off-the-shelf product.
Services
What we build
Every engagement starts with the problem you are trying to solve. The technology follows from that, not the other way round.
Bespoke applications
Web and cloud applications designed from your requirements up, and built to be maintained for years rather than just shipped.
Atlassian apps and integrations
Custom Forge apps for Jira and Confluence, from internal workflow tooling to products ready for the Atlassian Marketplace.
Integration and automation
Connecting the systems you already run and automating the handoffs between them, so information is entered once and flows where it is needed.
Compliance and governance tooling
Turning standards and internal procedures into structured, trackable work with a clear trail of evidence behind it.
Approach
How we work
Small team, direct communication, and no surprises. You always know what is being built, why, and what it will cost.
Understand
A short discovery phase to agree the scope, the priorities and the constraints, so you get an honest estimate before any code is written.
Build
Regular, working releases you can use and react to. You see real software early, not a big reveal at the end.
Support
Documentation, handover and ongoing support after delivery. What we build is yours, and we make sure your team can run it.
Products
Built by us, available to everyone
Alongside client work we publish our own tools. The first is for teams working towards ISA/IEC 62443.
ISA/IEC 62443 Compliance Tracker for Jira
Turns ISA/IEC 62443-3-3 into tracked work in Jira: one epic per Foundational Requirement, one ticket per System Requirement and Requirement Enhancement your target Security Level demands, with optional Confluence implementation guides linked to every ticket.
- Scoped to your target Security Level, and safe to re-run at a higher one
- Runs entirely on Atlassian infrastructure. No data leaves your instance
- A project page showing the Security Level you have actually reached
ISA/IEC 62443 is a standard published by ISA/IEC. The Bent Spatula is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by IEC, ISA or ISASecure.
