Air-Gapped AI Agent Deployment.

The blocker is approval, not capability. The models work. What stops deployment is a bank examiner, an auditor, or a general counsel who will not sign off on data leaving the building.

Deloitte's 2026 research found 73% of surveyed leaders selected “data privacy and/or security” as the AI risk their organization is most concerned about. The blocker is demonstrating control to a regulator, not the technology itself. For defense, intelligence, and critical-infrastructure work there is no cloud option at any price. This is the one segment where the air gap is a requirement, not a preference, and where our competitive set narrows to other appliance vendors only.

We do not sell better AI. We sell a deployment the examiner approves — with the agent capability as the payload.

Complete isolation. Nothing leaves the wall.

The platform runs behind a sealed perimeter. The agent, the secrets broker, the evaluation harness, the models, your data, and your SaaS all stay inside. There is no outbound path and no phone-home — ever. Your data never gets a passport.

Local models run on-host. Evaluations run on-host. Sealed-room operations stay sealed. The agent reads your documents, extracts and structures the fields that matter, reconciles them against the systems already holding fragments of the record, and produces citation-grounded output — all behind the wall. Nothing is sent anywhere to be read.

“No outbound. No phone-home. Ever.”

Why it survives an audit.

The deliverable at the end of a deployment is not only a working system but an evidence package — trace samples, evaluation results on your tasks, policy configuration, and the access model — that you hand to your examiner or auditor.

• 01

  Nothing leaves unless approved

  Egress is an explicit allow-list, not a default. In air-gapped configurations there is no egress path at all.

• 02

  The agent never holds credentials

  The secrets broker issues scoped, brokered access. A compromised or misbehaving agent cannot exfiltrate a key it never possessed.

• 03

  Every run is traced and replayable

  Span-level traces with cost and latency answer “which model processed which data, when, under whose authority” — the question an examiner actually asks.

• 04

  Outputs carry their sources

  Citation-grounded generation means each assertion points back to the passage that supports it, and the system reports when the record does not answer rather than guessing.

• 05

  Accuracy is measured, not asserted

  The evaluation harness and tuning arena run against your own golden tasks, producing documented performance on your data rather than a vendor benchmark on someone else's.

• 06

  Policy enforced at runtime

  RBAC plus OWASP agentic hardening, with policy evaluated by the runtime rather than trusted to application logic. Decisions logged and replayable.

In deployment now.

An autonomous lease-abstraction agent is running inside a Virginia commercial real estate firm's perimeter. Dense, inconsistent lease documents arrive in volume; the agent extracts and structures key business terms, reconciles them against the systems already holding fragments of the record, produces citation-grounded output, and flags disagreement rather than silently choosing a value. A person approves before anything lands.

Client names are not published. For a company whose proposition is keeping data inside the perimeter, discretion is part of the product.

Related deployment shapes.

Air-gapped is one of four shapes the same platform runs in. Each owns a different perimeter; pick the one that matches your risk model.

Questions we hear.

How do agents receive model updates with no network connection?

An air-gapped appliance cannot pull updates, so we deliver a validated model update on physical media, re-run your own evaluation suite against the new model, produce a before-and-after comparison, and roll back if your golden tasks regress. You receive a documented accuracy decision rather than a version bump — which is what model-risk governance requires.

Can the agent reach our systems at all in an air-gapped deployment?

Yes — through a secrets broker with scoped, brokered access. The agent requests an action; the broker performs it with a scoped, ephemeral identity. The agent never sees the key.

Do you supply hardware for air-gapped deployments?

The platform runs on hardware you supply or on a validated appliance built and warrantied by our integrator partner. The same platform, agent library, and license are identical across hosted, VPC, on-premise, and air-gapped shapes — air-gapped simply removes the egress path.
