Security & Trust

Security is not a feature. It's the architecture.

Aegis AI is built for teams where privacy is non-negotiable and uncontrolled data flow is unacceptable. Everything runs locally. Nothing leaves your network.

ITAR-Ready Architecture

System architecture is designed to comply with International Traffic in Arms Regulations. No data crosses network boundaries.

ISO 27001 Compatible

Deployment aligns with ISO 27001 information security management standards. Designed for environments that require formal certification.

Zero Telemetry

No usage analytics, no phone-home behavior, no external API calls. The system operates in complete network isolation when deployed.

Air-Gap Capable

Full offline operation with local inference. Documents, models, and retrieval all run on-premise with zero internet dependency.

Private by design, not by policy

Most AI tools promise privacy through terms of service. Aegis delivers it through architecture. There is no cloud endpoint to disable — it never existed.

Local Inference

All language model processing runs on local hardware. No API calls to external services.

Local Vector Storage

Document embeddings are stored locally. No cloud vector databases or external storage.

No Data Retention

Queries are not logged, stored, or used for training. Each session is ephemeral.

Network Isolation

The system makes zero outbound network requests during operation.

File Boundary Control

Only documents explicitly uploaded by the administrator are indexed. No crawling, no discovery.

Grounded Outputs Only

Every response is sourced from uploaded documents. The model cannot access external knowledge or the internet.

Security FAQ

Does any document content leave our network?

No. All processing — parsing, embedding, retrieval, and inference — happens locally. There are zero outbound network calls during operation.

Can Aegis operate in a fully air-gapped environment?

Yes. Aegis is designed for offline deployment. The system requires no internet connection once initially configured.

What data does Aegis store?

Aegis stores document embeddings (vector representations) and the original document text for retrieval. No query logs, user analytics, or session data are retained.

Is our document content used to train AI models?

Absolutely not. Your documents are used solely for retrieval within your environment. No content is ever sent externally or used for model training.

How does Aegis handle access control?

The current architecture is designed to support role-based access control. At the MVP stage, access is limited to authenticated administrators. The data model includes owner-level permissions for future multi-tenant deployment.

What compliance frameworks does Aegis support?

Aegis architecture is designed to deploy within ITAR, ISO 27001, and CGP-regulated environments. We do not currently hold certifications but the system design supports those requirements.

Need to discuss specific security requirements?

We work closely with pilot partners to validate deployment compatibility with their security and compliance frameworks.
