HyperSphere Startup Program for MissionLink

Enterprise-grade data protection,
free for 12 months.

If you're in the 2026/2027 MissionLink Cohort, someone is already asking how you protect data: a program officer, a prime, an investor who's seen a breach take out a company they backed. HyperSphere DNA gives you a real answer, not a slide. Self-serve, live in under 30 minutes, free for up to 12 months.

The Problem

In dual-use tech, the security question isn't a formality. It's the interview.

You're building for national security buyers, or trying to. The data protection question doesn't show up after the pilot. It shows up before the meeting. A government evaluator, a prime's security office, or an investor doing diligence will all ask the same thing, and a vague answer doesn't just stall the deal. It disqualifies you.

The question you'll get

"Walk us through your data protection architecture."

Ask anyone who's gone through a government security review or a prime's supplier assessment: it comes up early, and it comes up specific. Long before most MissionLink companies have a CISO, they need an answer that holds up.

The problem with existing tools

Built for a budget you don't have yet.

Enterprise data protection is priced and packaged for organizations with procurement teams and security headcount. Most MissionLink Cohort companies have neither, and don't have 18 months to wait for one.

What changes today

Real protection, sized for where you are.

If you're already on Amazon S3, HyperSphere DNA works today, with no code changes, and it's free for MissionLink Cohort members through this program.

The Product

When everything else fails, your data is still worthless to whoever took it.

HyperSphere DNA (Data Neutralization Appliance) sits inline with your S3 storage and neutralizes data on every write. There are no keys to store, manage, lose, or steal, which matters more, not less, when your threat model includes nation-state actors instead of opportunistic criminals.

S3-compatible. No code changes.

Drop it in front of your S3 bucket. No migration, no new SDK, no re-architecting the week before a customer demo.

Live in under 30 minutes.

Self-serve through AWS Marketplace. No enterprise sales process, no waiting on a rep who's never heard of MissionLink.

Quantum-resistant. Zero management.

FIPS-aligned through validated primitives. If credentials are compromised, the data that leaves is worthless to whoever takes it: the answer a NatSec buyer actually wants to hear.

The MissionLink Program

Free access. Real product. A graduation date, not a trial expiration.

Access

The full product, free for up to 12 months: a resilient, production-ready architecture protecting up to 25 GB of data. Your own AWS account, your real data, not a sandboxed demo.

Enrollment

Self-serve through AWS Marketplace, verified against your MissionLink Cohort membership. No new sales process, and light-touch technical support instead of full enterprise onboarding.

Graduation

A guided transition to standard pricing at the 12-month mark, or the 25 GB volume cap if you reach it first. A discount taper, not a cliff.

Eligibility

Three criteria, and MissionLink already cleared the hard one.

If you meet all three, you're in. Reviewed within 48 hours, no negotiation, no procurement cycle.

1

Selected for the 2026/2027 MissionLink US or UK Cohort.

MissionLink already did the vetting. If you're in the Cohort, this box is checked.

2

Already storing data in Amazon S3.

HyperSphere DNA sits inline with S3, with no code changes and no migration. If you're already on S3, you're ready in minutes.

3

Below the 25 GB protected-data threshold.

The program covers up to 25 GB of protected data, sized for early-stage volumes. Above it, we'll find a paid plan that fits.
