Why regulated teams can't just add RAG
Point an ordinary RAG stack at confidential data and it leaks everywhere that isn't the answer — in the prompt, the embeddings, the retrieval logs, the model endpoint. For regulated data, 'trust us' isn't a control. You need to show what happened.
Three jobs, never blurred
- Step 01
Intent
Reads and classifies the question.
- Step 02
Policy
Decides what it's allowed to touch.
- Step 03
ACLs
Enforce what the user may see.
And sensitive processing runs inside attested confidential compute — so your data is only ever decrypted where it can be proven safe.
Four commitments, no exceptions
Confidential by construction
Sensitive data is only ever decrypted and reasoned over inside verified secure enclaves, on-prem/self-hosted, never leaving your environment.
Governed by policy
One engine decides what any query may touch, with guarantees that can't be authored around.
Provable, not claimed
Every answer ships with its own audit trail.
Precise, not blunt
Protection engages where it's needed, so you don't pay for it everywhere.
One product, three levels of assurance
Zirah Sovereign is a single ladder — each tier includes everything below it. Start where your risk profile requires; step up as it rises.
Core
Confidential RAG, permission-aware, deployed in your environment.
Confidential
Adds confidential compute: inference inside a hardware-attested enclave, invisible to the cloud and to us, with attestation you can verify yourself.
Zero
Adds at-rest and key-level confidentiality: encrypted index, enclave-sealed keys, attestation-gated key release.
Add governance to any tier
Governance & Intent is a cross-tier add-on, not a level. Attach jurisdiction- and context-aware rules — for example, EU data stays in the EU — to Core, Confidential, or Zero. Configured to your regulatory footprint during design.
Every answer, provable
See exactly what happened to every request — which policy fired, what was redacted, where it was sealed, which documents were allowed.
Not a promise. A receipt.
