Assessment & accountability infrastructure for regulated firms

Evidence, not opinions.

ArcticScore turns a 259-question interview and your own scans into a scored, evidenced deliverable. Sovereign Infrastructure Intelligence gathers that evidence from inside your perimeter, read-only — it never leaves your building. Built for RIAs, medical practices, and law firms carrying critical-grade risk.

Assessment & accountability platform
ArcticScore

The scored deliverable: deterministic 0–100 scoring, verified remediation, and an evidence trail built to survive an examiner, a defensive MSP, or a skeptical owner.

On-prem evidence engine
Sovereign Infrastructure Intelligence

The ground truth: a read-only intelligence engine deployed inside your perimeter that maps every machine, identity, and gap — and proposes, never changes.

Receipts, not dashboards.

Every competitor in this category sells you a dashboard — a score, a chart, a login. But a dashboard has no answer when someone asks “how do you know?” ArcticScore is built backward from that question: the score is deterministic, claims are checked against your own scans, and every fix is verified before it counts.

ArcticScore

The assessment and accountability platform behind every engagement.

How the score works
A score you can trust, and reproduce
Code computes the score — AI never touches the number. Export it, and an independent engine re-scores it identically. Coverage and confidence are part of the deliverable, not hidden.
Your own instance, not a shared account
Each client gets an isolated deployment: its own database, logins, and encrypted volume. No multi-tenant cloud, no pooled data, no shared anything.
Accountability, not assumptions
We catch the gap before the examiner does
ArcticScore cross-references what your firm claimed in the interview against what your own scans actually show — surfacing the say-do gap before someone hostile finds it for you.
Attestation, then verification
Your IT or MSP attests a fix with evidence — or declines with a reason — through a no-login link. The next scan renders the verdict: verified with a certificate hash, or flagged and reopened.
Is your MSP actually worth it?
Every remediator — internal IT, MSP, vendor — graded objectively from timestamps and scan verdicts, against published grade bands. “Insufficient data” when the sample is too small, never a guess.
Techs submit; the vCISO verifies
Your team’s tech can mark work done. Only the named vCISO can close it out. Every remediation carries a human signature, not just a checkbox.
Exam-ready, on demand
A hash chain, not a hope
Every scoring run is sealed in a tamper-evident hash chain with external timestamps. One click produces the examiner packet — the evidence bundle, ready before exam day.
Your policies, held to their own word
We don’t write your policies. We take the ones you already have and continuously test them against what’s actually happening, with a dated pass/fail history.
Rehearse the exam you’re worried about
AI role-plays a probing examiner armed with your firm’s real gaps. The rehearsal itself becomes part of the review evidence, not just practice.
AI-assisted, human-reviewed — or fully offline
Client identifiers are scrubbed before any cloud AI call, and every call is audited. Turn AI off entirely and ArcticScore runs as a 100% offline, deterministic tool.

Sovereign Infrastructure Intelligence

A read-only intelligence engine we deploy inside your perimeter for the assessment — and, if you want it, keep running afterward as ongoing monitoring. It connects to the tools you already run over read-only APIs. It proposes; it never changes anything.

The obvious objection to letting an outside assessor near your environment: why hand infrastructure data to someone else’s cloud? Most comparable asset-intelligence platforms are cloud SaaS. This one lives on your hardware, inside your perimeter — the data doesn’t leave your building.

The laptop your EDR never saw
Every connected source — endpoint management, hypervisor, directory, EDR, storage — merged into one matrix showing which machines are invisible to which tools.
Accounts that shouldn’t still work
Disabled-but-still-entitled accounts, privilege outliers, single-holder entitlements, and identity gaps across systems — surfaced with evidence attached.
What changed since the baseline
A record of what appeared, disappeared, or changed in your environment since the last look — drift shows up before it becomes an incident.
Five domains, graded, evidenced
A deterministic assessment report across five domains. Every deduction carries its evidence. A partial deployment is “ungraded” — never inflated to a passing score.
AI that stays on your box
Sensitive data is classified deterministically and never leaves your hardware. Cloud models only ever see scrubbed, generic text — every call audited. Runs fully offline if you prefer.
Connects, proposes, never changes
It reads from the tools you already run, over read-only APIs. It can flag or propose a fix; it cannot touch a setting, an account, or a file.

How they work together

Sovereign Infrastructure Intelligence sits inside your perimeter during an assessment and establishes ground truth: what’s actually running, who actually has access, what actually changed. ArcticScore takes that evidence, combines it with the 259-question interview, and turns the two into one scored, evidenced, accountable deliverable. Ground truth in, receipts out.

See what receipts look like for your firm.

The $1,500 assessment runs the 259-question interview, ingests your scans, and — where useful — brings Sovereign Infrastructure Intelligence inside your perimeter to find what your tools alone can’t see.
