Defense modernization isn't blocked by technology. It's blocked by execution.

Arkenstone Defense builds operating infrastructure for modern technology companies working inside the U.S. national security ecosystem. We enable speed without shortcuts by embedding operational discipline, compliance, and accountability directly into how companies operate. Not as overlays. Not as afterthoughts.

This is infrastructure designed for regulated federal markets.

Arkenstone's Role

Arkenstone provides foundational operating infrastructure. Not tools. Not consulting. Not point solutions.

We make the operational discipline required of national security work scalable, repeatable, and continuously accountable, so companies can move at mission speed without eroding trust.

This is infrastructure built for execution inside regulated federal environments.

Who this is built for

Defense & dual-use technology companies

You need CMMC Level II readiness, DFARS alignment, and secure execution—without slowing product delivery or rebuilding your company to look like a prime. Arkenstone provides the operating environment to get there.

Venture-backed teams pursuing federal revenue

You already sell sophisticated technology. You now need CMMC, NIST 800-171, and secure supply-chain posture to sell it into defense and regulated federal programs. Arkenstone accelerates that transition.

Commercial organizations entering regulated federal markets

You require vendors and partners that meet CMMC and DFARS requirements without introducing risk. Arkenstone enables verified, audit-ready execution across the extended supply chain.

Companies that require a prime-level operating posture without prime-level overhead

You need speed without eroding trust, accountability, or CUI protection. Arkenstone provides continuously verified operating environments aligned with CMMC-II, DFARS 7012, and federal security expectations.

Built by operators.
Backed for the long term.

Arkenstone was founded by leaders with experience across government, national security, and venture-backed technology. We are backed by long-term platform investors who build systems of record in regulated industries.

This is serious infrastructure for serious work.
