Allied data should never leave allied soil. Keep it local.
International defence and government suppliers navigating AUKUS, DISP and allied frameworks can't route classified-adjacent data through a US cloud. HoundShield runs entirely on your own infrastructure, in your own country, so caveated and export-controlled data is detected and contained on-prem.
What it is
A sovereign, local-only AI firewall you host yourself — no data crosses a border or hits a vendor cloud.
Who it's for
Defence primes and suppliers across AU, UK, CA and NZ working to DISP and Essential Eight.
How you use it
Deploy on-prem or air-gapped; caveated markings and export-control terms are caught before AI use.
What it detects for you
How it works
- 01
Deploy on your own infrastructure
Run HoundShield on-prem or air-gapped, inside your own country's boundary.
- 02
Caveated data is contained locally
Protective markings and export-control terms are detected before any prompt reaches a model.
- 03
Evidence for accreditation
Signed audit logs support your authority to operate — and HoundShield never phones home.
How HoundShield supports allied frameworks
| Control / requirement | How HoundShield maps to it | Status |
|---|---|---|
| DISP — Data security | Data stays on your sovereign infrastructure | Enforced |
| ASD Essential Eight | Egress control on every AI interaction | Enforced |
| Export control (ITAR / EAR) | Controlled terms & caveats detected pre-model | Enforced |
| Accreditation audit | Signed logs for your authority to operate | Logged |
Common questions
Where does our data physically go?+
Nowhere outside your environment. Deploy on-prem or air-gapped; HoundShield never phones home — to us or anyone.
Does it work offline / air-gapped?+
Yes. Detection is fully local; only the AI provider you choose needs outbound connectivity.
Can it detect our national caveats and codewords?+
Yes. Detection patterns extend to AUSTEO/REL caveats, protective markings and programme codewords on top of the standard 16 engines.
Who hosts it?+
You do. There is no HoundShield cloud in the data path — sovereignty is a property of the architecture, not a contractual promise.
Sovereign by architecture
The only AI compliance firewall that never phones home — to anyone.
