Free · Forever · Non-Attributable
Security ARK is a free cybersecurity self-assessment platform built on 1,534 real security controls. Working pros use it to do real assessment work. Beginners use it to learn, with an AI coach and free exam prep on the way.
Why We Built This
Real security education has never been built for the people who need it most. It's locked behind expensive training, professional certifications, and years of experience most people around the world will never have the chance to earn — especially in the underserved communities where the actual risk is highest. Security ARK exists to change who gets to learn this.
"A kid with zero background should be able to sit down with Security ARK and walk away understanding how to help secure something real — a school's network, a family's shop, even their own community's water supply."
What's Inside
No jargon. No prerequisites. Just the same structure a professional security architect would actually use.
Step 1
About 45 adaptive questions across 7 pillars — Data, Physical, Network, Systems, Storage, Software, Security — map your actual environment before a single compliance question shows up.
Step 2
Every control is crosswalked through the Secure Controls Framework to 252+ frameworks — CMMC, NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and hundreds more. Answer once, and see where you stand across all of them.
Step 3
1,534 controls, every one rewritten in plain English. Story Mode walks beginners through it like a conversation. Advanced Mode gives working pros the full depth, with nothing watered down.
Step 4
A PDF report, a System Security Plan (SSP), and an auto-generated Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M), so you leave with a real to-do list instead of a score you don't know what to do with.
Who This Is For
New To Security
Never touched a firewall in your life? Good. Security ARK teaches a complete beginner how to think about real security, one plain-language question at a time. After launch, Jarvis will let you ask "why?" about any control, and a free Security+ and CISSP question bank will help you turn what you learn into a passed exam.
Working Pros & SMEs
Run real assessments for clients or your employer and walk away with a PDF report, SSP, and POA&M. Because it's non-attributable by design, nothing is tied to your name or organization, so you don't create a data-retention problem. It's a professional tool that travels with you.

Coming After Launch
Once Security ARK launches, Jarvis follows — an AI layer that will turn your assessment into a real conversation. Ask why a control matters, what fixing it looks like in your environment, or what to tackle first. Pros will get a faster second set of eyes. Learners will get a patient tutor that explains things until they click. Security ARK is also adding a free Security+ and CISSP question bank, so you can study for the actual exam, not just guess at it.
Security ARK's production platform is being built on Microsoft Azure through its nonprofit program, and Jarvis will run inside that same environment — not bolted on from somewhere else.
Jarvis is being designed to work with Anthropic's Claude and Azure OpenAI through a model router, so it can use the right model for each job and never depend on a single AI company.
The free assessment will never require AI. Jarvis will be something you choose to turn on, and before it goes live we'll publish exactly what it sends to an AI model and what it doesn't.
We're building Jarvis against the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications — the same risks we teach in The Crucible. If we teach it, we hold ourselves to it.
