We build the instrument. You hold the proof.
ArcticScore is an Adversarial Evidence Verification platform. We are not a consulting firm. Not a vCISO service. Not a compliance automation tool. We produce cryptographic proof that a company’s security claims are actually true — or evidence that they’re not. One sealed instance. One self-verifying bundle. One verdict.
The methodology — published, deterministic, adversarial
Every check we run is documented. No black-box machine learning deciding what’s “probably” true. Our engine compares stated policy (what management asserts) against observed reality (what the system actually shows) and logs every contradiction. The process is repeatable: an acquirer’s forensic expert re-running the same container against the same environment gets the same evidence tree — root hash and all. The scoring is code, not AI. The evidence is math, not opinion. This is not compliance automation. This is adversarial verification engineered for the moment counsel or an examiner asks for proof.
Founder
Mike Conder previously served as an advisor to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on national-security telecom reviews under the Team Telecom framework. In that role, he evaluated foreign acquisitions of U.S. critical infrastructure from an adversarial lens — assuming the counterparty had something to hide. That exact discipline is engineered into ArcticScore: no trust, only verified evidence. The product ships the founder’s methodology. The evidence bundle is the deliverable. The adversarial posture is the moat.
Company
Arctic Byte LLC is based in the United States. Our engineering team includes adversarial security researchers, cryptographic systems engineers, and former litigation-support technologists. We serve private equity deal teams, corporate acquirers, insurance underwriters, bank credit teams, board audit committees, and supply chain risk managers. We do not sell to the companies being assessed — the skeptic pays.
