Arctic ByteLed by a former DHS national-security telecom advisor. Now your fractional CISO.
A named, accountable security chief for firms carrying critical-grade risk — with every assessment, scan, and score kept in a sealed vault that is yours alone. Never pooled in anyone’s cloud, not even ours.
The law now expects a named person accountable for your security.
FTC Safeguards. SEC Reg S-P. HIPAA. Team Telecom mitigation agreements. If you handle sensitive data or regulated infrastructure, regulators — and your insurers — increasingly require a designated qualified individual running your security program. Most firms our size have no one in that seat. That’s the role Arctic Byte fills.
Three ways to work together
Most engagements start with the assessment — the clearest, lowest-commitment picture of where you stand.
ArcticScore Sovereign Assessment
The 259-question interview, your scans ingested, a deterministic 0–100 score, a prioritized fix list, and a one-hour review call. Audit-grade evidence of where you stand.
Security Essentials
Monthly scan and report, compliance check-ins, policy and email support, and incident on-call. Your baseline security program, handled.
Full vCISO
Everything in Essentials, plus quarterly compliance audits, vendor risk reviews, security-awareness training, and expanded incident response. Your outsourced security department.
Evidence built to survive an examiner, a defensive MSP, or a skeptical owner.
Everyone else sells a dashboard. Our two-product platform produces receipts: a deterministic score an independent engine reproduces, fix claims verified by the next scan, and a tamper-evident evidence chain — ready before anyone hostile asks “how do you know?”
Deterministic 0–100 scoring, say-do gap detection against your own scans, verified remediation with attestation receipts, objective grades on every remediator, and a one-click examiner packet.
A read-only intelligence engine deployed inside your perimeter: every machine, identity, and coverage gap mapped from the tools you already run — and the data never leaves your building.
Your data lives in one vault. Yours.
Security platforms in this category pool every client’s posture and vulnerability data in one multi-tenant cloud. We think that’s a liability you shouldn’t have to accept — so we built the opposite.
Built for organizations carrying critical-grade risk
Teams that handle sensitive data or regulated infrastructure, are held to a standard, and can’t staff a security department.
Why Arctic Byte
A named, accountable human
A real person in the qualified-individual seat — not a portal and a queue. You know who’s responsible for your security.
Former DHS Team Telecom advisor
The founder advised on national-security telecom reviews for the U.S. government. That discipline now runs your security program.
Receipts, not opinions
Deterministic scoring, scan-verified fixes, and a tamper-evident evidence chain — AI-assisted, human-reviewed, and defensible in front of an auditor.
Your data, your vault
Per-client data sovereignty — your information lives in a vault that’s yours alone, never pooled with other clients. The security firm that practices what it preaches.
Start with a no-pressure look at where you stand.
