01
Software engineering
We design and build software with maintainability, sensible permissions, and security considered from the start.
Privacy focused software
We build things
that mind their business.
InnovaGuard is a small team of software engineers and security people building tools with privacy in mind. We like good software, careful security, and not collecting information we do not need.

01 / About
Security should be serious. The website does not have to be.
We are a small team. That means fewer meetings, more code, and
absolutely nobody asking us to make the logo bigger.
Our focus is privacy and security software that is understandable, useful, and built with care. We pay attention to what software can access, what it sends, and what happens when something goes wrong.
We are not interested in making privacy sound mysterious. Good security should be something people can actually use.
02 / What we do
Build. Review. Break things before someone else does.
02
Security tooling
We work on tools that help people understand, restrict, and protect the software running on their systems.
03
Security auditing
Security claims deserve scrutiny. We look for weaknesses, questionable assumptions, and the stuff that is easy to overlook.
03 / The team
Four people. Several keyboards.
We are serious about security. We are less serious about agreeing on who gets the last word in a code review.

Frontend Developer
Builds the interfaces people see while staying heavily focused on the security tools and systems working behind the scenes. Basically, if it looks simple, someone probably worked very hard to make it that way.

04 / Currently building
In development
QUARANTINE
A security tool focused on giving applications clearer boundaries around what they can access.
QUARANTINE is being built around a simple idea: software should not automatically get access to everything on a system just because it asked nicely.
We're breaking it so you don't have to.
01
Application boundaries
Clearer limits around what applications can access and interact with.
02
Security focused
Designed with threat modeling, testing, and careful defaults in mind.
03
Privacy first
Keep unnecessary data collection and unnecessary access out of the picture.
04
Still being built
Early development means testing, breaking things, fixing them, and repeating the process.
05 / Principles
A few rules we try not to break.
There is no magical security checklist. These are simply the standards we want our work to live up to.
01
Collect less
If we do not need information, we should not need to collect it.
02
Make security understandable
People should not need a security degree to understand what a tool is doing.
03
Assume things can go wrong
Threat models, audits, testing, and uncomfortable questions are part of the job.
04
Do not confuse serious with boring
We can care deeply about security and still make a dumb joke on the company website.
We are around
