INTELLIGENCE REPORT

Total Information Sovereignty

Why "secure" apps like Discord, Slack, and Teams are leaking your data through the supply chain—and how MIRQ closes the breach.

The Supply Chain Trap

Modern chat apps are built on a house of cards: thousands of third-party vendors, overseas subcontractors, and unvetted open-source libraries. When you use them, you aren't just trusting one company—you are trusting every entity in their supply chain.

Discord

Discord

  • Subcontractor Exposure

    In 2025, a third-party support vendor was compromised, exposing 70,000+ IDs. Discord's core didn't fail—their supply chain did.

  • Bot Ecosystem Risks

    Third-party bots read your messages. If a bot developer is hacked (or malicious), your server's data is exfiltrated without Discord knowing.

  • Cloud Dependency

    Relies entirely on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Data is subject to Google's internal vendor risks and global data center policies.

Slack

Slack

  • App Integration Leaks

    Over 2,000 third-party apps integrate with Slack workspaces. A single vulnerable library in one of these apps can open a backdoor to your channels.

  • AI Training Subprocessors

    User telemetry is shared with vendors for AI features. Breaches in these analytics firms expose your usage patterns.

  • Dependency Hell

    Built on complex web stacks (Node.js/Java) prone to widespread flaws like Log4j, requiring patches across thousands of vendor systems.

Teams

Teams

  • Global Azure Sprawl

    Data is stored in Azure centers worldwide, accessible to regional affiliates and subcontractors outside direct US oversight.

  • Enterprise Linkage

    Deep integrations with LinkedIn and Bing send query data across the Microsoft ecosystem, multiplying the attack surface.

  • Guest Access Flaws

    Complex enterprise permission models often allow sideloaded apps or guest account bypasses that expose internal files.

The MIRQ Shield

We reject the "rented infrastructure" model. MIRQ is built for organizations that demand absolute control over their signal.

100% US Control

MIRQ is privately held in the USA with zero foreign investors and zero H1B dependency. Our code is written by Americans, for Americans. No offshore subcontractors touch your data.

Native C++ Architecture

We don't use web-bloat frameworks. MIRQ is native C++/Qt. This reduces our attack surface by eliminating thousands of vulnerable npm/web dependencies found in Electron apps.

Sovereign Infrastructure

Our official network runs on US bare metal, not opaque public clouds. For ultimate security, enterprise clients can self-host the entire stack—server, database, and media relays.
