Architecture Comparison

Three ways to run AI.
Only one is compliant.

Cloud AI stores your data. Local tools have no compliance certifications. Kwyre runs on dedicated European servers with patented security architecture, TUV Rheinland audit, and zero data leakage.

Cloud AI (OpenAI, Azure, AWS)
Your data on their servers
  • 1User sends prompt via API
  • 2Data transmitted to cloud provider
  • 3Processed on shared infrastructure
  • 4Logged to provider's storage (30+ days)
  • 5Discoverable in litigation
  • 6Subject to US CLOUD Act compulsion
  • 7May be used for model training
FAIL: Data leaves your control permanently
Local AI (Ollama, LM Studio)
Your hardware, no certifications
  • 1User runs model locally
  • 2Processing on user's machine
  • 3No third-party data transmission
  • ×No SOC 2 / HIPAA documentation
  • ×No penetration testing
  • ×No independent audit
  • ×No compliance attestation
PARTIAL: Private but not provably compliant
Kwyre AI (Patent Pending)
Dedicated servers, certified architecture
  • Direct TLS to dedicated Hetzner GEX44
  • RAM-only processing, never touches disk
  • Cryptographic wipe on session end
  • Kernel-level egress block (Layer 2)
  • Intrusion watchdog with autonomous wipe
  • Sentinel gateway defense (honeypot, passive OSINT, MITRE)
  • TUV Rheinland audited, zero deviations
  • BSI C5 Type 2 + ISO 27001 certified
PASS: Private, certified, and patent-protected
Feature Matrix

Side-by-side comparison

Kwyre fills the gap between cloud AI (not private) and local tools (not certified). This is the compliance gap that regulated industries need solved.

Capability Cloud AI Local AI Kwyre AI
Data leaves your control Yes — always No No — never
US CLOUD Act exposure Yes N/A No — German jurisdiction
Discoverable in litigation Yes — 100% No No — nothing to produce
Independent security audit SOC 2 (shared infra) None TUV Rheinland — zero deviations
BSI C5 Type 2 No (most providers) No Yes — since Dec 2025
ISO 27001 Provider-level only No Yes — through Sep 2028
Penetration testing Provider's own None 47/47 findings resolved
HIPAA / SOC 2 docs Shared responsibility None Full audit package
Content logging 30+ days typical None Zero — RAM only
Cryptographic wipe No No Yes — random byte overwrite
Intrusion detection + auto-wipe No No L6 watchdog — 5-second scans
Gateway active defense (deception, OSINT, MITRE) Varies by vendor None Sentinel — honeypot, sinkhole, audit-chained events
Domain AI adapters GPTs (cloud-stored) None 13 LoRA adapters, hot-swap
Patent protection N/A N/A U.S. App. No. 19/574,347

The compliance gap is real.

40–55% of regulated professionals use no AI at all — not because they don't want it, but because compliance frameworks prohibit cloud AI. Kwyre is the third option.
