Need to Know builds zero-knowledge privacy infrastructure — for cloud, desktop, and mobile. We are a dumb byte conduit. Your keys never reach us.
Explore the stackThe Stack
You hold the keys. Every product in the NTK stack is built on the same zero-knowledge foundation.
Zero-knowledge deployment infrastructure. Ship with confidence — your secrets stay secret through every stage of the pipeline.
Encrypted desktop client. Your files, your keys. Everything encrypted locally before it moves anywhere. We never see plaintext.
Privacy-first mobile vault. Take your encrypted data anywhere. Biometric unlock, zero-knowledge sync, no server-side scanning.
Philosophy
"We are a dumb byte conduit."
Most cloud providers hold your encryption keys — which means they can decrypt your files at any time, for any reason. Breaches. Government requests. Internal snooping. They aren't just storing your files; they're scanning them.
Need to Know is designed differently. Your files are encrypted on your device before they reach us. We store random bytes. We transmit random bytes. Without your key, the data is permanently and mathematically unreadable — to everyone, including us.
Everything encrypted on your device before upload. We have absolutely no knowledge of the data you store.
We only handle encrypted, meaningless bytes. Our role is to securely store and transmit them — nothing more.
You, and only you, hold the keys to your data. Without your keys, your files are incomprehensible noise. Permanently.
Process
Local Encryption
Before your file leaves your device, it is encrypted using a key that only you possess. It never exists anywhere in plaintext except on hardware you control.
Secure Transit
The encrypted file — now a meaningless jumble — travels through our infrastructure. We process it. We cannot read it. There is nothing to read.
Blind Storage
We store the encrypted bytes. Without your key they are noise — today, tomorrow, and regardless of any breach, request, or compulsion. The math is the guarantee.
About NTK
Privacy isn't a feature we added. It's the architecture we built from. Every product in the NTK stack is founded on a single, non-negotiable principle: we can't see your data, access your keys, or know anything about what you store.
We built our platform on zero-trust foundations because trust — even ours — shouldn't be required.
No compromises. No exceptions.
