KonarkX is a full-stack cybersecurity firm. We test your organisation the way a capable adversary would, strengthen what matters, and give your board evidence that the risk is closed.
A sequence you can plan around, and prove to an auditor
1
Scope
We agree what is in scope, the rules of engagement, and what a good outcome looks like — in writing, before any testing begins.
2
Test
We assess your defences as a real adversary would, across technology and people, and chain findings into the path that carries real risk.
3
Strengthen
We give your engineers prioritised, specific remediation — with the context to fix the cause, not just the symptom.
4
Prove
We retest, confirm the risk is closed, and hand you evidence you can take to the board or the regulator.
We would rather show our work than talk about it.

We surface the risks that actually matter to your business, then retest until each one is verified closed. Findings shown are illustrative.
Findings ledger
What's included
Penetration testing
Web, mobile, API, network, cloud, wireless and thick-client testing, scoped to how you would actually be attacked.
Red teaming
A goal-driven, multi-vector operation that tests detection and response, not just prevention.
Threat & vulnerability management
Continuous discovery, prioritisation and tracking of exposure across your estate.
Attack surface management
We map what you expose to the internet — including the assets you forgot you had.
Secure code review
We read the code behind the risk to find the flaws a scanner will miss.
How we approach it
Scope and rules of engagement. Agreed in writing, before the first packet.
Recon and attack. We chain findings into the path that actually carries risk.
Prioritised remediation. Specific, with the context to fix the root cause.
Retest and prove. We confirm the risk is closed and give you the evidence.
What you get
A findings report written for engineers and for the board.
Reproducible proof for every finding, with business impact.
A prioritised remediation plan.
A free retest to confirm the fixes hold.
An executive readout.
Typical engagement
Most engagements start as a focused test of your highest-risk estate — a crown-jewel application, your external perimeter, or a red-team objective — over two to four weeks, then move to a continuous programme where that fits.
Common questions
Will testing disrupt production?
We agree rules of engagement and safe windows up front; anything potentially destructive is opt-in only.
Is this just a scanner?
No. Findings are chained into the path that actually carries risk, and every one is reproducible against your estate.
What do we need to provide?
Scope, access as agreed, and a point of contact. We handle the rest.
We turn the frameworks regulators expect into controls that actually hold — and the evidence to show it. Control areas shown are illustrative.

An audit-ready evidence pack.
Typical engagement
A certification-readiness programme over three to six months, or ongoing virtual CISO leadership for organisations that need the capability without the full-time hire.
Common questions
Can you take us to certification?
We prepare you and run the internal audit; the certificate is issued by an accredited certification body, which we help you select.
Is ISO 42001 real yet?
Yes — it is the first management-system standard for AI, and it changes who is accountable for a model's behaviour.
Do you write policies we can't follow?
No. Policy that doesn't fit how you work is a liability; we write for your reality.
A live view of your attack surface — our analysts sweep it around the clock, so nothing moves unseen.

An incident runbook, and response on standby.
Typical engagement
A managed service with onboarding over two to four weeks, then continuous coverage. Incident response is also available on standby for the day you need it.
Common questions
Do you replace our team or support it?
Either — we run the SOC, or extend your team out of hours.
Whose tools do you use?
Yours where they fit. We are tooling-pragmatic, not tooling-locked.
How fast do you respond?
Response targets are agreed in your service definition and reported against.
Prepare your cryptography for the quantum era — before "harvest now, decrypt later" becomes a breach. We assess your exposure, plan the migration, and prove the path to quantum-safe.
Long-lived secrets encrypted today can be captured now and decrypted once quantum computing matures. We find them and move you to post-quantum cryptography. Illustrative.
Quantum-safe · lattice-based cryptography
What's included
Post-quantum cryptography readiness
Where your cryptography stands against the move to quantum-safe algorithms.
Cryptographic inventory & crypto-agility
Find every place you rely on cryptography, and how quickly you could change it.
Quantum risk assessment
Your "harvest now, decrypt later" exposure — which long-lived secrets are most at risk.
PQC migration roadmap
A prioritised plan to adopt post-quantum cryptography where it matters first.
Quantum-safe architecture advisory
Design guidance so new systems are built crypto-agile from day one.
How we approach it
Discover. Build a cryptographic inventory across your estate.
Assess. Rank your quantum risk by data sensitivity and lifetime.
Plan. A prioritised, standards-aligned PQC migration roadmap.
Prove. Validate the quantum-safe path and confirm crypto-agility.
What you get
A cryptographic inventory of your estate.
A quantum risk register, ranked by exposure.
A prioritised PQC migration roadmap.
An executive briefing on quantum risk and the plan.
Typical engagement
A focused readiness assessment over a few weeks, then a phased migration you can plan around — starting with your longest-lived, highest-value secrets.
Common questions
Is this relevant now?
Yes. Adversaries can capture encrypted data today and decrypt it once quantum computing matures — so long-lived secrets are already exposed.
Do we have to replace all our cryptography?
No. We start with crypto-agility and your highest-risk data, not a rip-and-replace.
Is it standards-based?
Yes — aligned to NIST's post-quantum cryptography standards.
Your chatbots, copilots, agents and voice assistants are answering customers today, and nobody has attacked them yet. Arka tests every AI surface you run, scores what it finds, and never sends your data anywhere.
An AI system rarely fails to a single hostile prompt. It gives way over several polite turns, each one reasonable on its own. Arka runs those chains and scores what they reach. Illustrative.
Adversarial runin progress
Running…
What it tests
Cloud models
GPT and Azure OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Bedrock, Vertex AI, and the rest of the estate you call over an API.
Agent frameworks
LangChain, LlamaIndex and the OpenAI Agents SDK — where a model is given tools and the authority to use them.
Enterprise assistants
Microsoft 365 Copilot and Amazon Q, which can reach further into your data than anything else on this list.
Voice and real-time agents
Conversational agents answering live calls, tested over the same transports they serve customers on.
Your own models
Any REST endpoint, or a model uploaded and tested locally. Seventeen integrations in all.
What it tests for
Thirty-four threat categories across 120 attack vectors, each one tied to a business consequence rather than a technical curiosity. Data and privacy — data leakage, prompt injection, system prompt extraction, credential theft, exposure of regulated information. Brand and operations — jailbreak, hallucination, toxicity, misinformation, excessive agency, denial of service. Regulatory and ethics — bias and fairness across nine axes, safety constraints, training data poisoning, social engineering, supply chain.
How it works
Connect. Point it at the AI systems you already run. No change to how they are built or hosted.
Attack. It composes payloads rather than replaying a fixed list, adapts on near misses, and keeps the vectors that worked.
Score. Every finding rated 0 to 100 and banded from Minimal to Critical, with the conversation that produced it attached.
Act. Findings push into your tracker, evidence goes to your auditor, and the brief goes to your board.
Your data never leaves
Arka runs inside your network with local inference. No prompts, no model outputs and no findings leave your environment at any point, and it works in air-gapped deployments. For regulated organisations this is usually what decides the question, because most AI security tooling needs you to send exactly the data you are not permitted to send.
Evidence your auditor will accept
Seven frameworks, one audit trail
EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA and India's DPDP Act, with more than thirty checks against each.
Mapped to the standards your testers use
Findings carry their OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS references.
Into the queue you already work from
Findings push to Jira, Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, GitHub, GitLab or Freshservice. Reports export to PDF, Word, HTML and CSV.
A brief for the people who fund it
The risk verdict, the business impact, which attack patterns succeeded and what to do, written in plain English.
What you get
A score for every finding, banded for sequencing.
The transcript behind each one, so it can be reproduced.
Compliance mapping across seven frameworks.
A board brief alongside the technical report.
Re-runs on every release, so posture is trended rather than frozen.
Who it is built for
Regulated organisations whose AI carries encoded safety constraints, data access controls and compliance obligations — and where someone has to prove those constraints hold under attack. Healthcare and clinical decision support. Banking, customer AI and KYC. Insurance claims and underwriting. Hospital patient safety. Critical infrastructure. Voice agents handling live calls.
Common questions
What is Arka built on?
Arka is the AI security platform we deliver, powered by the LLM Pirate engine. KonarkX is your point of contact for scoping, deployment and the findings.
Does our data leave our network?
No. It runs on your infrastructure with local inference, and it is air-gap compatible.
Can it test a system we did not build?
Yes. Cloud models, agent frameworks, enterprise assistants and voice agents are all tested through their own interfaces.
Is it a scanner?
It generates and ranks adversarial test cases rather than matching signatures, and every finding carries the conversation that produced it so you can verify it yourself.
How does this relate to ISO 42001?
It produces evidence for the controls an ISO/IEC 42001 or NIST AI RMF programme has to show. Our governance team runs the programme itself.
What do we need to run it?
It deploys inside your environment. We size it with you on a short call before anything is committed.
