What Changes For You
From Hoping Your Data Is Safe to Knowing It's Untouchable
GARM is positioned for high-assurance local protection around sensitive data and critical workflows. The investor case is not a promise of invulnerability; it is a testable architecture built around local control, post-quantum design, hardware-bound access, and reduced cloud dependency.
🧘
Peace of Mind
Emergency lockout can clear volatile keys quickly; recoverability should be validated through independent testing.
🔒
Hardware-Bound Assurance
Deep isolation reduces OS-level exposure and creates a stronger boundary around sensitive workloads.
👑
True Ownership
Your data governance stays local, policy-controlled, and auditable instead of cloud-dependent.
Why GARM? The product thesis combines isolation, local AI monitoring, and volatile-memory workflows in one security layer. Why now? Breach costs, NIS2/DORA pressure, and post-quantum migration are pushing security decisions upward. Why this investment? The diligence question is whether GARM can turn this architecture into verified pilots, audits, and recurring security spend.
// Security Modules
Trust Capabilities
Four hardened subsystems forming a zero-trust perimeter around critical applications and data.
RAM Vault & Memory Scrambler
Hardware Hypervisor · Ultra-Low LatencyA hardware-level micro-hypervisor isolates dedicated memory pools with AES-256 encryption applied at the hardware boundary. Continuously randomizes memory layout using native memory primitives eliminating cold boot attacks, DMA exploits, and kernel-level memory scraping.

Anti-EDR & Kernel Panic Resilience
Standard EDRs cause billion-dollar outages. GARM's Deep isolation acts as an insurance policy, maintaining data sovereignty even if the host OS is completely compromised.
Physical Theft Lockout
Hardware-lock combined with an accelerometer trigger. If the device is violently yanked or stolen, encrypted sessions can be locked and volatile keys cleared under policy.
Private Local Mode
The vault is designed to reduce exposure to standard OS-level capture and inspection surfaces while keeping validation requirements explicit.

RAM-Only Virtual File System
GARM never writes data to disk. All files exist
exclusively in AES-512 encrypted RAM pools with continuous address
randomization. If the system loses power, the data ceases to exist. There is no
disk to clone, no database to export. Physical seizure yields materially less recoverable data when the architecture is implemented correctly.

Device Vulnerabilities vs. GARM Solutions
💼 Executives & Asset Custodians
PROBLEM
Standard operating systems (iOS, Android, Windows) are bloated with telemetrics and backdoors. A single zero-click exploit or malicious physical access at an airport border can extract cryptographic keys, corporate secrets, and personal communications.
💼 Executives & Asset Custodians
GARM
SOLUTION
True Physical Segregation. GARM boots from a integrity-verified, read-only external drive. It minimizes host-machine trace under the proposed operating model. If physically seized, the plausible deniability protocol activates, making the hidden encrypted volumes difficult to distinguish from random noise under the proposed deniability model.
📰 Investigative Journalists & Dissidents
PROBLEM
Traveling with sensitive data across hostile borders relies on "hiding" folders or using commercial VPNs that log traffic. State-sponsored actors possess forensic tools that map commercial encryption structures in minutes.
📰 Investigative Journalists & Dissidents
GARM
SOLUTION
Anti-Forensic Architecture. GARM routes all traffic through a multi-hop, heavily obfuscated Tor/I2P overlay. "Panic Mode" wipes the decryption keys from RAM instantly upon device removal or a targeted hotkey, permanently destroying access to the secure container.
🏦 Banks & Financial Institutions
Client data protection at the hardware level. Hardware vault ensures even compromised OS cannot expose sensitive financial records. Regulatory compliance built-in.
🏛️ Government & Intelligence Agencies
Classified document storage with VRAM rendering data never touches RAM. Anti-forensics, GPU-assisted decryption, rapid lockout workflows, and hardware-bound access controls.
🔐 Corporate Security & IP Protection
Protect trade secrets, source code, R&D data. Plausible deniability mode. Steganographic storage. Zero cloud dependency full sovereign control.
Public-Sector Security & Defense Integrators
Field-resilient data protection for controlled environments. Works offline, supports degraded-connectivity operations, and can pair hardware tamper detection with policy-based lockout.

Market Logic
EU NIS2 18-sector cybersecurity scope; DORA financial ICT resilience; NIST FIPS 203/204/205 post-quantum standards. SOM is calculated as reachable revenue/bookings from a narrow initial segment, not as a percentage fantasy of the whole market.
// Evidence Layer
Why GARM can compound into venture-scale value
GARM sits in a forced security-refresh cycle: NIS2 expands board accountability, DORA pressures financial ICT controls, and NIST post-quantum standards turn cryptographic migration from theory into procurement planning.
The European Commission defines NIS2 as a unified cybersecurity framework across 18 critical sectors.
NIST finalized FIPS 203, 204, and 205 in August 2024, giving buyers a concrete migration target.
SOM is modeled as regulated EU enterprise accounts with secrets, keys, and identity risk, not the full cybersecurity market.
