Inspiration

When a company gets hacked, it floods: systems go down, data pours out, and money goes with it. Most companies don't sink from the first hit. They sink because the team can't coordinate, since the attacker is sitting in the same email, chat and files the team would use.

So we built the boat. ARK is where the response team climbs in when everything else is under water: off the company network, trusting nothing, keeping everyone together until the flood goes down.

What it does

ARK is an off-network incident command system, software plus hardware.

Red kill switch: declares the incident and cuts the compromised network
Green switch: resolves the incident and brings operations back online
Encrypted relay: carries messages it can't read or forge
Face-to-face join: responders are added with a matching 6-digit code
Live incident timeline: organized by NIST phases
Scope tracking: what's encrypted, stolen, suspected or clean
Real-time chat: plus one-click alerts that buzz the manager's panel
Legal deadline clocks: start when personal data is stolen
Tamper-evident record: every entry signed, encrypted and hash-chained
Offline report: for stakeholders and outside counsel

Demo: a fictional company, Meridian, is hit by a simulated ransomware attack. The analyst spots it in ARK, the manager hits red, and the data theft stops mid-transfer. The team contains it in ARK, hits green, and the attacker is locked out.
