CORRECT BY DESIGN
Code now commits at machine speed. Govern it at the same pace.
AI writes the code. Arko is the independent check that decides what commits — and signs the proof. One control layer across security, code health, cost and compliance — in your IDE, your agents, your pipeline, and up to a fully air-gapped deployment.
Arko — your IDE
ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW
Your AI writes code. Arko understands what it builds before it commits.
From raw codebase to full attack surface. Arko maps architecture, models threats, and scores risk in real time, so you commit fast without committing vulnerabilities.
THE LEFTMOST POINT
When the agent writes the code, the control has to sit in the agent’s loop.
THE SDLC
Developer writes → Commit → Pull request → Pipeline scan → Finding → Ticket → Sprint → Fix
Post-commit. Weeks between cause and correction.
THE AIDLC — TWO LOOPS, ONE ENGINE
arko.ide — the human loop: risk surfaces as the line is typed; the fix is validated before the commit.
arko.mcp — the agent loop: the coding agent queries Arko before it writes, and Arko re-verifies after it writes.
CODE TRUST & HEALTH
Everything Arko covers in AI-written code
Tools scan code. Arko understands it in context — then answers for security, health, cost and developer experience, all from one graph.
Security
Can this be exploited?
SAST, secrets, dependencies, IaC — caught as you build, with a clear fix.
CISO
Code health
Is this maintainable?
Complexity, duplication, dead code, test-coverage debt.
VP Engineering
Cost
What does this cost to run?
Inefficient queries, wasteful loops, architectural choices with a cloud bill attached.
CTO / FinOps
Tech-strategy alignment
Does this match the approved architecture?
Deprecated libraries, unapproved services, drift from the target state.
CTO / Architecture
Licence & IP
What did the AI just import?
A real and growing exposure in generated code.
General Counsel
Compliance evidence
Can you prove it?
DORA, EU AI Act, ISO 27001, SOC 2 — as Ledger exports, not as a spreadsheet.
Risk / Audit
ONE ENGINE, MANY LENSES
The same graph answers six questions. Security is only the first.
THE ASSURANCE CONTINUUM
Shift left to prevent it. Shift right to prove it.
INSIDE EVERY SCAN
Any model detects. Only Arko decides.
Detection is open — every finding is checked by two independent frontier providers. Adjudication is closed — the verdict is only ever Arko Core.
SHIFT RIGHT — BEFORE PRODUCTION
Static analysis produces a suspicion. Simulation produces a fact.
Once the static pass is done, Arko stands your application up in an isolated, ephemeral environment and drives it with agents — exercising routes, authentication boundaries and data paths against the artefact you actually built.
IDE / MCP — ‘This pattern is dangerous here’ — INFERENCE FROM CODE
Commit / PR / Build — ‘This pattern reached the main branch’ — INFERENCE FROM CODE AND HISTORY
Simulation — ‘Reproduced it in a running instance, and after the fix I could not’ — EXECUTION
Runtime — ‘It has not recurred in production for 90 days’ — OBSERVATION
Every other station finds. This one proves.
Fewer things to fix later — the risk is settled before the commit, not triaged after release.
A defensible answer to “prove it” — every decision signed, hash-chained and exportable for audit.
One control layer over the whole estate — security, code health, cost and compliance from the same graph, not four tools.
ACROSS THE WHOLE ESTATE
Hundreds of developers. Every agent they use. One control layer.
Developers keep their own tools and their own agents. Arko attaches to all of them, applies one policy, and rolls every decision into a single record for the people accountable for it.
DEPLOYMENT
One product. Every deployment mode.
Same scanner, same engine, same screens. The product stays consistent across every deployment mode without re-integrating anything.
YOUR MODELS, YOUR ACCOUNT
Your model. Your account. Our assurance standard.
Private endpoints. Independent checks. One auditable standard for every model you choose to bring.
01
Detect — layers of analysis, open to any model, including yours
02
Adjudicate — Arko’s own verification core judges every finding against evidence
ARKO CORE
03
Decide — a human accepts or rejects, with role-based scope
Machines verify. Humans decide.
Correct by design.
Bring an independent control layer to every place your code is written and committed.
