Air-Gapped AI

AI that runs where your data already lives.

For defense, healthcare, financial services, public sector, and any team whose threat model excludes shipping data to a vendor cloud. We design, deploy, and operate full LLM and RAG stacks inside your boundary - with the audit story your reviewers expect.

Not sure you need full air-gap? See our Azure AI Foundry practice - frontier-grade AI running inside your Azure tenant with customer-managed keys and private endpoints, no on-prem hardware required.

Where your data goes

Same prompt. Three very different journeys.

Toggle between deployment modes to see exactly where the request travels, where the model runs, and where the audit trail lands.

The differentiator

When your data can't leave the building, neither does your AI.

Most "private AI" claims still proxy through a vendor's cloud. Ours doesn't. We design, deploy, and harden full LLM and RAG stacks on infrastructure you own - running on a network you control. The deny rule lives in the firewall, not in the marketing copy. We'll show you the iptables output.

What we guarantee

The four properties that matter when your data can't leave.

Zero external egress

When the deployment policy requires it, the stack is configured to deny all outbound traffic to 0.0.0.0/0. No model API calls. No telemetry. No usage reporting.

Auditable by design

Every prompt, every retrieval, every response is logged with provenance to the SIEM you already run. Reviewers can answer 'who asked what, when, and what was returned' on the first attempt.

Hardened to your frame

We deploy aligned to NIST CSF 2.0 and implementation-experienced across CMMC, HIPAA, CJIS, PCI DSS, and SOC 2. Documentation handed to your compliance team on day one.

Owner-operated

100% US-citizen engineers, annual security briefings, monthly training. No offshore subcontracting on any air-gap engagement.

The reference stack

Battle-tested choices, no vendor lock-in.

Below is the architecture we deploy by default. Every layer can be swapped to fit your environment, hardware, and compliance posture.

Model serving

  • Text Generation Inference (TGI)
  • Ollama for edge
Open-weight models
  • Meta Llama 3.3 70B & 8B
  • Mistral / Mixtral
  • DeepSeek R1 / V3
  • Qwen 2.5
Retrieval

  • Qdrant cluster
  • Weaviate cluster
  • Hybrid BM25 + dense
Embeddings
