Everything else is built around it.
Encryption almost never fails; access hygiene does. The real openings are mundane: an operator still in a group chat a month after his contract ended, a report sent to the wrong client, a reused password, a phone nobody locked. Attackers don't break the math. They walk through the gap someone left.
Most firms stitch this together from whatever's on hand: a few group chats, email, a shared drive, a spreadsheet of who's supposed to have access. No one sees the whole picture, and pulling someone's access means remembering every place you ever gave it. Overwatch runs the work in one system that decides who sees what, and records who already did.
Add or remove an operator from an op and their access changes that instant. Roles are permissions — so nobody sees more than the job needs, and access never goes stale because it lives in one place, not five.
Every file open, export, and screenshot is on the record — who, what, when. Jailbroken or rooted devices are flagged to management. And your principal can see the trail on their own file, so trust is a screen, not a promise.
Require biometric app-lock and a second factor across your entire organization — enforced by the platform, not left to habits. Phone lost or seized? Cut it off everywhere in seconds, with message history still locked behind a passphrase we never held.
Share inside the app, where every handoff is logged and revocable in a tap. When something has to leave as a PDF, each page is forensically watermarked to the person who exported it — a leaked document names its own source.
The principle is simple: your data stays yours. We store only what the platform needs to run, the most sensitive material is encrypted so it can't be read from our side, and the firms that demand it can hold the keys themselves.
We keep our footprint deliberately small — we store only what the platform needs to function. Data we never collect is data that can't be lost, leaked, or compelled out of us later.
Chat is end-to-end encrypted: messages are encrypted on the sender's device and readable only by the people in the conversation, and we relay text we can't decrypt. Conversation access follows the same access control as everything else — change an operator's assignment and what they can see changes with it.
Your most sensitive material — intelligence, operation briefings and after-action reports, voice notes, and the institutional knowledge the platform builds up — carries an additional layer of encryption, scoped to your organization and to each engagement. A stolen database or backup is unreadable without the keys.
Enterprises and the most security-conscious firms can manage those keys externally and revoke encryption at any time. Custody can extend to your principals on a per-engagement basis. We support multiple cloud KMS providers, with HSM support available on request.
Remove an engagement, organization, or account and the data is destroyed, not flagged — and because its keys are destroyed with it, the data is unrecoverable, backups included. The few records that must remain for your books are kept anonymized.

We'll walk you through the platform — and show you, claim by claim, exactly how each guarantee is built.
