Security and data protection

Control is an architectural decision.

IAS systems fit environments where sensitive records, restricted networks, and operational accountability shape every deployment.

01

Local deployment

Keep processing close to the operation when the environment requires it.

02

Private-network operation

Run within customer-defined network segments and access boundaries.

03

No mandatory public-cloud AI

Local model and controlled-service options can be evaluated by deployment.

04

No required external transmission

Architectures can be designed so operational data does not leave the customer environment.

05

Customer ownership and control

Customers define the documentation, records, users, retention, and deployment boundary.

06

Role-based access

Limit product functions and information to authorized roles.

07

Local logs and auditability

Retain activity and operational context inside the configured environment.

08

Source traceability

Show the origin, timing, and review context behind answers and signals.

09

Controlled updates

Plan software, model, and content updates around customer change-control requirements.

10

Identity options

Use local accounts or customer identity integration where supported and approved.

11

Encryption

Use encryption in transit and, where configured, at rest within the selected platform.

12

Retention and backup

Define retention, backup, recovery testing, and deletion responsibilities before deployment.

Network boundaries

Segment, restrict, and document.

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

Controls have named owners.

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.

Talk with IAS

Request a deployment and security review.

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