Your data never leaves. Your AI keeps working. Private AI platforms for the industries where a data mistake is never just a fine.

We build private AI platforms for organizations in government, defense, healthcare, and financial services, where the cost of getting data security wrong isn't a fine. It's an existential threat.

The problem

Regulated industries are stuck between two bad options.

Organizations in government, healthcare, and finance face the same choice every day: adopt AI and risk breaking compliance requirements, or avoid AI and fall behind the competitors who worked out how to do it safely.

01

Commercial AI tools are off limits

ChatGPT, Copilot, and consumer AI tools send your data to third-party servers. For organizations handling CUI, PHI, or regulated financial data, that breaks nearly every compliance framework you operate under.

02

"AI-enabled" vendors are a black box

SaaS platforms adding AI features process your data on their infrastructure, with their models, under their terms. You don't own the intelligence, you can't audit the pipeline, and your data may be training their models.

03

Internal teams can't build it alone

A compliant AI platform takes LLM architecture, vector databases, retrieval pipelines, zero-retention API design, and regulatory frameworks. That combination is rare to find in one team.

The result

AI paralysis

The organizations that need AI most, the ones buried in documents, compliance requirements, and manual processes, are the ones least able to adopt it.

The solution

A private AI platform that runs inside your security perimeter.

nBrain builds custom AI platforms that run entirely inside your perimeter: your cloud tenant, your data center, or an air-gapped network. We don't host your data and we don't train models on it. We build the platform in your infrastructure and hand you the keys, so your data never crosses a boundary you don't control.

Inside your boundary

What you own and control

  • Your AI Brain. A central intelligence layer built on your institutional knowledge, workflows, and operational data.
  • Your infrastructure. Deployed in your Azure Government, AWS GovCloud, or private cloud subscription, or on hardware you own.
  • Your vector database. Every document embedding and search index lives inside your security boundary.
  • Your audit trail. Every query, document access, and AI response, logged and tamper-evident.
  • Your source code. Every line of code, configuration file, and deployment script.
Outside, and unchanged by you

What the AI model already is

  • Pre-trained. Built by OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google on public data before it ever reaches your environment.
  • Stateless. Every API call is independent. No memory between questions.
  • Unchanged. Your usage doesn't modify, improve, or alter the model.
  • Contractually bound. Enterprise API providers offer zero data retention where available, and no model training on your data.
  • Swappable. GPT-6 Astra, Claude Opus 5.5, Gemini 4 Argon, or open-source models like Llama, Mistral, and Qwen. Change models without rebuilding your Brain.
The critical distinction

We build the intelligence around the model: the agents, the retrieval logic, the workflows, the permissions. We never put your data inside the model. The AI reads your documents at query time, writes an answer, and forgets. Your data stays in your environment and the model stays generic. That's the architecture that makes compliance possible.

Industries we serve

Built for the most scrutinized environments there are.

Every regulated industry has its own set of compliance requirements. We build AI platforms designed to support them, not by avoiding data, but by architecting around the rules.

Government and defense

Defense contractors, government agencies, and intelligence-community suppliers need AI that handles CUI, ITAR data, and classified-adjacent information without exposing it to commercial cloud infrastructure or third-party models.

We deploy inside your Azure Government tenant, which carries FedRAMP High and DoD IL4/IL5 authorizations, with private endpoints, VNet isolation, and US-only data residency.

Frameworks we design around
CMMC Level 2NIST 800-171DFARS 7012ITARFedRAMP High

Healthcare and life sciences

Organizations handling PHI need AI that never stores, sends, or processes patient data outside a HIPAA-compliant environment. We build platforms that work with clinical data while maintaining full BAA coverage.

PHI-aware processing strips, tokenizes, or masks identifiers before data reaches any model. Your BAA with the cloud provider covers the entire pipeline.

Financial services

Banks, asset managers, insurers, and fintech firms work under some of the strictest data-handling rules in business. AI platforms here need full audit trails, explainable outputs, and no data leakage.

We build systems with complete lineage tracking, so every AI response can be traced back to its source documents for a regulatory examination.

How it works

The Brain-first architecture, in five steps.

Every private AI platform we build follows the same pattern: capture your institutional knowledge in one AI Brain first, then attach specialized modules that read from it, write to it, and make it smarter with every interaction, all inside your security perimeter.

01

Knowledge capture and security assessment

We map your data: where documents live, which systems feed your operations, which data classifications apply, and which frameworks govern your environment. We sort what can be processed now from what needs specific infrastructure.

Weeks 1–2
02

Infrastructure deployment

We deploy the platform in your cloud subscription: Azure Government, AWS GovCloud, or private infrastructure. Private endpoints, VNet isolation, and encryption at rest and in transit. Your IT team controls the keys.

Weeks 2–4
03

AI Brain construction

Documents are ingested, chunked, embedded, and stored in your vector database. We build the retrieval pipeline that finds the right documents when your team asks a question. The model never learns this data; it reads it at query time and forgets.

Weeks 3–6
04

Agent and module configuration

We build the agents and modules on top of the Brain: document search, summarization, compliance analysis, proposal drafting, or whatever matters most to your operations. Role-based access means people see only the data they're authorized for.

Weeks 5–8
05

Launch, audit, and ownership transfer

You own the subscription, the source code, and the infrastructure configuration. We support you for as long as you want us, and you can bring in your own team at any time. No vendor lock-in, and your data is never held hostage.

Weeks 8–12

A typical build takes about three months. Builds start at $40,000, and your cloud and model accounts are billed to you directly at list price, with no markup.

Compliance coverage

One architecture, mapped to every framework.

The platform architecture is designed to support several regulatory frameworks at once. Here is how each component maps to the requirements you face.

Our guarantees

Six things we put in writing.

These aren't marketing claims. They're architectural guarantees, backed by the platform design, cloud provider contracts, and our engagement terms.

01

Your data is never used to train models

Cloud providers offer zero data retention where available, and no model training on your data on your inputs and outputs.

02

Every interaction is stateless

Each query is an independent API call. The model keeps nothing between calls: no session, no memory, no learning.

03

You own everything

The subscription, the code, the infrastructure, and the data. You can bring in your own team or another vendor at any time.

04

No data leaves your boundary

Private endpoints, VNet isolation, and zero internet egress. API calls stay inside your cloud provider's sovereign infrastructure.

05

A full audit trail

Every query, document access, and AI response is logged with tamper-evident audit trails that feed your SIEM.

06

Model-agnostic

Switch between GPT-6 Astra, Claude Opus 5.5, Gemini 4 Argon, or on-premises open-source models without rebuilding. Your Brain stays; the engine is replaceable.
