Govern your AI
inside your perimeter.
Perimeter is a Kubernetes-native AI governance platform that runs entirely within your infrastructure. Discover every model, classify risk against the EU AI Act, and prove compliance — without sending a single byte to anyone's cloud.
Self-hosted AI exploded. Governance never followed.
Every dedicated AI governance platform on the market is cloud SaaS — built to send your AI metadata, model details and compliance data to someone else's infrastructure. For the organizations that chose self-hosted AI precisely because they cannot share data externally, that is a contradiction.
Six modules. One sovereign control plane.
Every component runs as Kubernetes-native microservices — Helm chart or Operator — entirely within your cluster. Zero external dependencies. Zero phone-home telemetry.
AI Discovery Engine
Scans Kubernetes, Docker hosts and GPU infrastructure to auto-discover every model, endpoint and pipeline — including shadow AI.
Risk Classifier
Maps every AI system to EU AI Act tiers, NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 categories with auto-generated risk justifications.
Compliance Automation
Generates technical documentation, conformity assessments and post-market monitoring records continuously, not quarterly.
Runtime Monitor
Envoy-based proxy adds <50ms P99 for inline PII, bias, hallucination and drift checks on every prompt and response.
Model Supply Chain
An SBOM for AI: provenance, license verification, and security scanning for every weight file you deploy.
Immutable Audit Trail
Append-only ledger of every governance decision, policy change and model update — exportable to your SIEM and GRC.
Sovereign-by-default. Air-gap-ready.
Four layers, deployed via a single Helm chart. No outbound connections required for any operational function — including regulatory rule updates.
Data Collection
DaemonSets for node-level GPU scanning, sidecars for model serving proxies, CronJobs for periodic inventory sweeps.
Processing
Stateless governance engine in Go + Python. Horizontally scalable. Runs PII NER, bias evaluators and drift detectors locally.
Storage
PostgreSQL for governance state. MinIO for model artifacts and reports. Encrypted at rest, in-cluster only.
Presentation
React control plane, OpenAPI gateway, signed offline rule packages delivered via OCI artifacts or approved media.
The buyers with the most sensitive AI — and the fewest tools.
Defense & Intelligence
Air-gapped mandates. CMMC, ITAR, IL4–IL6. NDAA AI governance directives.
EU Enterprises
GDPR, EU AI Act high-risk obligations, CLOUD Act exposure concerns.
Healthcare
Patient data inference on-prem. HIPAA without external transmission.
Financial Services
Data residency, model risk management, low-latency trading constraints.
Be ready for August 2026.
EU AI Act high-risk enforcement begins August 2026. Fines reach €35M or 7% of global turnover. Perimeter is the only governance platform purpose-built to live inside your perimeter when that deadline arrives.
