Independent analyst forecasts place global DevSecOps growth at ~13–22% CAGR, driven by IaC sprawl, AI-generated infrastructure, and tightening compliance regimes (NIST 800-53, HIPAA, PCI-DSS 4.0, DORA, FedRAMP).
- AI code generation is multiplying IaC volume faster than humans can review it.
- Compliance audits are shifting from point-in-time to continuous evidence.
- Incumbent static linters (Checkov, tfsec) detect — they do not fix.
- SDVOSB-certified — sole-source & set-aside eligible for federal contracts.
- Founder-operators inside regulated financial services and healthcare enterprises.
- Air-gap + on-prem deployment — serves buyers most DevSecOps SaaS cannot.
Not slideware — live product, today
ArcScan is a shipped, runnable platform. The screenshot below is from the production build — the same interface a paying customer would use on day one.
Product-complete. Pre-revenue. Founder-led go-to-market.
Founders are actively exploring platform deployment paths inside the regulated enterprises where they operate — a large credit union and a Fortune health insurer — in parallel with a federal SDVOSB contract pipeline. ArcScan has no paying customers at this stage; the product is shipped, the compliance rails are built, and the go-to-market is founder-led.
From shipped product to federal + enterprise scale
Sequential milestones — not parallel bets. Each stage de-risks the next by producing references, revenue signal, or regulatory credentials usable in the stage after it.
- 250+ security rules live
- SaaS + air-gap builds
- Public landing + free tier
- 2–3 paid design partners
- Credit union + health insurer references
- Anchor case study content
- GSA Schedule listing
- First sole-source wins
- FedRAMP Moderate path
- Multi-vertical channel expansion
- Partner/integrator distribution
- Platform extensibility / marketplace
Forward-looking milestones. Timeline is directional and subject to capital, partner, and contracting cycles outside the company's control.
Why the incumbents don't box us out
The IaC security space is crowded with static linters and generalist CSPM platforms — but none combine AI-driven fix generation, air-gap deployability, and SDVOSB federal eligibility in a single product. The wedge is regulated + offline + remediating.
| Capability | ArcScan | Checkov / tfsec | Wiz / Prisma | Snyk IaC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI-generated fixes (not just detection) | Partial | Partial | ||
| Air-gap / offline deployment | ||||
| SDVOSB federal set-aside eligible | ||||
| Multi-LLM provider (bring-your-own-key) | ||||
| Ansible + Terraform + cloud inventory | Terraform-only | Cloud-only | Terraform-only | |
| Per-user SaaS pricing (not per-asset) | Free/OSS |

What seed capital unlocks
The product is built. Capital converts founder-operator access and SDVOSB eligibility into contracted revenue. Allocation is indicative and will be tuned to the specific raise size and partner priorities.
Federal BD lead, enterprise AE for regulated verticals, design-partner success motion.
Fix-quality model tuning, FedRAMP Moderate work, on-prem hardening, compliance framework depth.
SOC 2 Type II, FedRAMP 3PAO engagement, GSA Schedule onboarding, legal & procurement infrastructure.
Infrastructure, observability, support tooling, and runway buffer for federal procurement cycles.
Indicative allocation for illustration. Actual deployment depends on final raise size, investor priorities, and signed partner commitments. Full financial model available under NDA.
Founder-led. Operator-led. SDVOSB-led.
