Government developers
Tarca: A secure AI development terminal, built for government engineering.
AI coding assistants are transforming engineering, and security teams are right to worry about what leaves the building. Tarca is the terminal that lets government developers adopt AI at full speed with the guardrails built in.
Capabilities
- Open-source terminal, optimised for AI coding workflows
- Tarca Shield: inline and repository DLP
- Secret detection that prevents credential leaks
- Assurance controls for government AI coding adoption
An open-source terminal built for AI workflows
Tarca is optimised for the way engineers actually work with AI: agentic coding sessions, tool output, long-running tasks. Being open source, it can be inspected, extended and trusted in environments where closed tooling faces hard questions.
It behaves like the terminal your developers already know, which is precisely why adoption sticks.
Tarca Shield: DLP where the risk actually is
The real risk of AI-assisted development is data leaving through the prompt or the push. Tarca Shield adds inline data-loss prevention at the terminal and repository level: secret detection that stops credentials before they leak, and policy controls over what can leave the environment.
Blocked pushes and prevented leaks are visible and reportable, so security teams see the control working rather than taking it on faith.
Assurance for government AI adoption
For agencies, Tarca turns an uncomfortable conversation into a governed capability: developers get modern AI tooling, security gets enforceable controls and evidence, and leadership gets a defensible answer to how AI coding is being adopted responsibly.
Tarca is sovereign, built in Australia, and designed to sit comfortably inside the same governance story as the rest of our products.
