Defense and National Security

Fortify Classified Data. Outmaneuver Adversaries.

Defense and intelligence missions depend on absolute trust in data. IronShard is the sovereign AI-ready storage built for the most sensitive defense workloads. Classified intelligence, battlefield communications, and coalition AI pipelines are secured with zero-trust architecture, data lineage, and continuous AI auditability. From NATO compliance to national defense sovereignty mandates, IronShard guarantees mission continuity, even under attack.

What's at Stake

• Cyberattacks: Nation-states don't just steal; they corrupt data, disrupting trust in intelligence and AI models.
• AI as a weak link: Without lineage, explainability, and auditable logs, defense AI becomes a liability under the EU AI Act and NATO doctrine.
• Insider and contractor risk: In complex supply chains, a single compromised credential can expose entire missions.
• Mission continuity under fire: Outages, kinetic attacks, or coalition network failures can't be allowed to stall operations.

Key Capabilites

• Zero-trust architecture: Data is encrypted and fragmented at source.
• Insider threat resistance: No node, contractor, or jurisdiction can reconstruct classified datasets alone thanks to data sharding and multi-provider distribution.
• Geo-pinned sovereignty: Pin data fragments to NATO/EU-approved regions, provably contained within national borders.
• Mission continuity: Geo-redundant failover and erasure coding keep intelligence flowing even under attack. No downtime in case of an individual cloud provider outage.
• Defense-grade compliance: NATO, GDPR, the EU AI Act, ISO 27001, and national defense authority mandates.
• AI agent-ready architecture: Authorised AI agents and decision-support systems gain secure, real-time access.
• AI Auditability: Every AI inference, dataset, and model is lineage-tracked and explainable.
• Metadata layer for defense AI: Seamless discovery of unstructured data that supports AI model training.

Summary

IronShard ensures data integrity, operational resilience, and mission continuity, even in contested, degraded, or actively attacked environments. Built for modern defense operations, it enables secure AI adoption without compromising control, compliance, or trust.
