Sentinel Qila

SENTINEL QILA

Prove it never left.

The air-gapped defence build — fully isolated, no outbound traffic allowed, sovereign-only, one flat offline licence.

THE PROBLEM

In defence and national security, a promise that data stayed in-country is not enough — you have to be able to prove it never left. An accreditor does not accept “we didn’t route it offshore”; they need to see that offshore was never possible. And a promise can fail quietly: one setting left wrong, one fallback path still enabled, a single request to an outside provider — any of these breaks the guarantee, and you cannot take it back.

Sentinel Qila (also Sentinel Sovereign) removes the risk instead of managing it. It is the air-gapped defence build of Sentinel Mesh — the same engine you run everywhere else, delivered sovereign-only for classified and national-security work — and it ships with no outbound path at all. There is nothing to misconfigure, because there is nowhere for a request to go.

THE BUILD

No outbound traffic allowed

Qila answers one question — prove it never left — and the answer holds up to an audit: it runs fully isolated inside your perimeter, with no outbound traffic allowed. Nothing leaves.

  • Nothing leaves your perimeter. The enclave has no path to the outside world. No request can reach an outside provider, because there is nowhere for one to go — and that absence is what you show an accreditor.
  • No setting could ever change that. Isolation is built into the deployment, not switched on. There is no toggle an operator could get wrong — the outside path simply isn’t there. Every request stays in-country by construction.
Commercial deployment versus the Qila defence deployment Two deployments side by side. The commercial deployment — which runs both the Commercial SaaS and the self-hosted Mesh on-premise — can reach outside providers when an operator turns that on; the path exists and stays shut only because a setting keeps it shut, so the guarantee is a promise. The Qila defence deployment is sealed inside your perimeter: there is no outbound path at all, so nothing can leave and no setting could open a way out — the guarantee is something you can prove. COMMERCIAL DEPLOYMENT Commercial SaaS · Mesh on-premise Mesh pipeline auth · guardrails · metering In-country route the default Outside providers a setting keeps this shut QILA DEFENCE DEPLOYMENT Air-gapped · nothing leaves Mesh pipeline auth · guardrails · audit In-country route the only route there is Outside providers NO WAY OUT — NONE TO BUILD YOU PROMISE a setting kept the outside path shut.

No outbound traffic allowed. The commercial build can reach outside providers if an operator turns that on — the guarantee lives in a setting. The defence build ships fully isolated: there is no outside path to turn on, so nothing can leave, and you can prove it.

What you get

Sovereign-only, by construction

all inference runs on in-country hardware that no one abroad can restrict. No outside providers, ever, and no way to add one.

Self-contained air-gapped install

delivered as a complete offline bundle that installs and runs on a network-isolated site with no internet reach.

Internal CA

TLS and identity terminate on an in-enclave certificate authority; nothing outside is ever contacted.

Accreditation-grade audit

Sentinel Watch gives you the full evidence trail, the proof an accreditor asks for. Classified traffic is not usage-metered — counting it would itself be a leak — so you see your own usage and audit trail without a meter on the traffic.

One flat offline licence

a per-install licence verified on-site, with no phone-home. The licence covers your entitlement, and your usage and Watch stay fully visible.

The commercial Sentinel Mesh keeps outside routing off by default. The self-hosted Mesh on-premise build leaves that choice to the operator. Qila goes further: it has no outside path at all. Sovereignty here isn’t a policy or a default you set — it’s built into the deployment, which is the difference between a promise and proof. See Sovereignty.
