The Only Storage Tier Engineered for AI Compliance + Scale

Startups don't have time to play catch-up. Generic storage might hold your data, but it can't protect your IP, models, or compliance standing when regulators, customers, and investors demand proof. IronShard is the first AI compliance storage tier—designed to safeguard your proprietary assets, deliver audit-ready lineage, and give your teams agent-ready, scalable infrastructure to build the next generation of AI.

Why Generic Storage Breaks Startups

• Compliance Dead Ends: No lineage, no auditability, no way to satisfy EU AI Act or GDPR requirements.
• IP at Risk: Source code, models, and datasets exposed to insider threats, ransomware, or vendor breaches.
• Innovation Bottlenecks: No AI metadata intelligence, no agent readiness, and no scalable way to manage AI pipelines.
• Investor Distrust: Customers and VCs want to see GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 alignment from day one. Without it, deals stall.

Why IronShard is Different

Not just storage. Not just security. The first AI-ready compliance platform for innovators.

1. AI Compliance Built In

• EU AI Act Data Storage: Full lineage, audit trails, and model accountability.
• GDPR and European Health Data Space (EHDS)-Compliant AI Storage: Handle sensitive health, finance, and legal data safely.
• Audit-Ready Evidence Packs: Instantly prove compliance to regulators, enterprises, or investors.

2. AI Metadata & Lineage

• Purpose-built AI metadata layer: Discover, track, and govern every dataset.
• Full lifecycle AI lineage: From ingestion to training, retraining, and inference.
• Vendor independence: Reproducibility and transparency without lock-in.

3. AI Agent-Ready Infrastructure

• Manage data via ChatGPT-style interfaces—compliance for non-technical teams.
• MCP-compatible protocols: Prepare for autonomous AI agents.
• Automated policy enforcement at scale.

4. Resilience + Sovereignty by Design

• Sharded-by-Design: No single cloud, system, or insider can reconstruct the full IP. AI models, training datasets, and customer PII remain shielded even if a node or vendor is compromised.
• Geo-pinning for Sovereignty: Keep data in Europe, the US, or on-prem. Geo-distributed storage prevents lock-in and guarantees no single point of failure. Pin fragments to specific regions, geographies, or clouds to meet GDPR and AI Act obligations.
• Redundancy with Erasure Coding: Uptime guaranteed, even during outages.

Key Differentiators for Tech Startups

• The First AI Compliance Storage: Built for EU AI Act, GDPR, and model lineage by design.
• AI Agent Ready: Every agent action (train, infer, update) is logged, auditable, and reversible.
• Zero-Trust & Sharded Architecture: No single point of compromise; fragments distributed across regions/clouds.
• Developer-First: API-driven integration into AI, DevOps, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Audits Without Friction: Instant auditability and investor-ready compliance packs.
