Local deployment
Keep processing close to the operation when the environment requires it.
Security and data protection
IAS systems fit environments where sensitive records, restricted networks, and operational accountability shape every deployment.
Keep processing close to the operation when the environment requires it.
Run within customer-defined network segments and access boundaries.
Local model and controlled-service options can be evaluated by deployment.
Architectures can be designed so operational data does not leave the customer environment.
Customers define the documentation, records, users, retention, and deployment boundary.
Limit product functions and information to authorized roles.
Retain activity and operational context inside the configured environment.
Show the origin, timing, and review context behind answers and signals.
Plan software, model, and content updates around customer change-control requirements.
Use local accounts or customer identity integration where supported and approved.
Use encryption in transit and, where configured, at rest within the selected platform.
Define retention, backup, recovery testing, and deletion responsibilities before deployment.
Network boundaries
Deployments can sit behind customer firewalls, inside isolated VLANs, or in offline-capable environments. Air-gapped operation may be possible for selected workflows when hardware, updates, data transfer, and support procedures are designed for that restriction.
Shared responsibility
IAS and the customer document responsibility for host hardening, identity, network rules, certificates, backups, retention, logging, patch windows, vulnerability response, physical access, and incident handling. Responsibilities depend on who owns and operates each layer.
No architecture eliminates risk. IAS avoids absolute security guarantees and documents the controls that are actually configured.

IAS will review hosting, identity, network segmentation, logging, updates, backups, retention, and operating responsibilities with your security and infrastructure teams.
