Arcano was founded in 2018 by five old friends with decades of combined experience in cryptography, law, security architecture, and large-scale technology infrastructure.
They had worked in environments where mistakes were not theoretical — they carried financial, legal, and reputational consequences. They had seen how easily confidential information could be exposed through everyday tools that were never designed for true security.
Email attachments. Shared cloud folders. Temporary links with little oversight.
Convenient? Yes.
Designed for serious confidentiality? No.
One founder specialized in applied cryptography and secure system design, working on hardened architectures where encryption and threat modeling were foundational — not optional.
Others came from legal and compliance backgrounds, advising organizations on data protection, regulatory risk, and confidentiality obligations across jurisdictions.
Others had built and operated high-availability systems responsible for safeguarding large volumes of sensitive information under strict reliability standards.
They understood two critical truths:
Security that is complicated will be bypassed.
Convenience without protection creates silent risk.
Arcano was built to solve that tension.
From the beginning, it was engineered with discipline:
No gimmicks. No unnecessary data collection. No shortcuts.
Since its founding, Arcano has securely processed over 1,000,000+ file uploads, earning the trust of professionals, teams, and organizations that cannot afford careless handling of sensitive information.
Arcano has evolved over time, but its foundation remains unchanged:
Security is a responsibility.
Trust is earned through engineering rigor.
Privacy is not a feature — it is the product.
