Deployment options

DeepIntShield offers three deployment shapes. They share the same gateway and APIs; what changes is where your data lives, who operates the infrastructure, and the latency and availability envelope.

DeepIntShield Cloud

Fully hosted at app.deepintshield.com. Nothing to deploy - sign up, create a virtual key, and point your SDK at the gateway. Best for most teams.

Enterprise VPC

The data plane runs in your own cloud (GKE / AKS / EKS); DeepIntShield manages the control plane. No prompt, response, key, or audit data leaves your VPC. Best for strict data-residency and compliance requirements.

Self-Hosted (Enterprise)

Run everything - control plane and data plane - in your own infrastructure, including fully air-gapped. Delivered with our solutions team. Talk to sales to scope it.

Hosted and operated by DeepIntShield. There is nothing to install - see the Gateway quickstart:

  1. Sign up at app.deepintshield.com.
  2. Add your provider keys and create a virtual key.
  3. Point your SDK or app at https://app.deepintshield.com.

You host the DeepIntShield data plane (gateway + guardrails + ML detectors, with your own Postgres, Redis, and vector store) in your GKE / AKS / EKS cluster. DeepIntShield runs the control plane at app.deepintshield.com for policy authoring, dashboards, and billing.

What stays in your VPC: every prompt, completion, embedding, retrieved chunk, provider key, and audit record. Only signed configuration flows down and aggregate counts flow up, over a single outbound-only, pinned mutual-TLS connection - there is no inbound path into your environment, and the control plane is not on the ordinary request hot path. Local policy enforcement, configuration-cache misses, instrumentation, and upstream calls still add workload-dependent latency; benchmark the complete VPC path under expected concurrency and failure modes.

See Enterprise VPC deployment for the step-by-step install.

Run the full stack - control plane and data plane - entirely in your own infrastructure, including fully air-gapped environments. Self-hosting is an Enterprise offering delivered with our solutions team, who provide the deployment bundle, license, and a guided rollout for your platform (GKE, EKS, AKS, on-premise, or air-gapped).
