Security architecture
Isolation By Design,
Not By Policy.
Your documents never touch shared infrastructure. Here's how the architecture enforces privacy at every layer.
How it works
Architecture overview
Three layers of isolation between your browser and your data.
Security pillars
Four layers of protection
Dedicated GPU Instances
Each vault runs on its own isolated GPU. No shared memory, no shared storage, no shared processes. Your workload is the only workload on the machine.
Encrypted at Rest & Transit
All data encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Documents are encrypted before leaving your browser and decrypted only on your dedicated GPU instance.
Zero-Knowledge Architecture
VaultAI handles provisioning and billing. We route encrypted traffic to your GPU instance but never decrypt, inspect, or store your document content. We literally cannot read your files.
Network Isolation
Vault instances run in private networks with no internet egress by default. Your documents cannot be exfiltrated because outbound connections are blocked at the network level.
Data lifecycle
From upload to destruction
Every stage of the document lifecycle is designed for isolation and ephemeral processing.
Upload
Documents encrypted in browser, transmitted via TLS 1.3, stored only on your GPU instance's local storage.
Process
Documents chunked and embedded locally using open-source models. Vector index stored in-memory only.
Analyze
All inference runs locally on your dedicated GPU. No data leaves the instance.
Destroy
GPU instance terminated. Local storage wiped. Vector index destroyed. No recoverable data remains.
Compliance
Designed to support your compliance requirements
HIPAA Compatible
Isolated architecture designed to meet HIPAA technical safeguards.
GDPR Ready
Data residency controls. Right to deletion built into every vault.
SOX Compliant
Full audit trails with tamper-evident logging for financial data.
Attorney-Client Privilege
No third-party access. Documents stay in your isolated environment.
Note: VaultAI provides the technical infrastructure to support compliance. Compliance certification depends on your organization's overall security posture and implementation.
