DPLYD AI LLC provides fully managed, on-premises AI hardware appliances for regulated organizations whose data cannot leave their building, including law firms, health systems, defense contractors, and school districts. The appliance runs large language models locally within a hardened perimeter, ensuring even derived indexes never cross the boundary. It comes with compliance tooling for CMMC L2, HIPAA, FERPA, and NIST 800-171, plus fixed monthly pricing with no per-token metering.

Problem
Organizations in regulated industries such as healthcare, legal, defense, and education are constrained by strict data-handling obligations that prohibit sensitive data from leaving their physical premises. Most "on-prem-friendly" AI products still transmit derived data—such as vector indexes or model queries—to third-party clouds, where a second copy of the information becomes queryable, correlatable, and potentially reversible, creating a hidden compliance leak.
Solution
DPLYD delivers fully managed, on-premises AI hardware appliances that bring frontier large language models directly inside an organization's own security boundary. The appliance is deployed on the customer's perimeter, keeping both the original data and any indexes derived from it entirely within the building. DPLYD handles hardware maintenance, updates, and lifecycle management, while the customer operates the system with predictable monthly economics and zero capex. Every deployment inherits a hardened compliance layer called Lighthouse, which provides identity, isolation, segmentation, and audit capabilities, with Sentinel recording every check in an immutable audit log for evidence on demand.
Target Audience
Primary customers are regulated organizations that handle privileged data—including law firms, health systems, defense contractors, and school districts—that require the productivity of generative AI without relinquishing control of sensitive information.
Features
- On-premises AI appliance that runs frontier LLMs locally, eliminating any need to send prompts or derived indexes to third-party APIs, public clouds, or shared-tenancy infrastructure
- Index is kept on the same side of the boundary as the data, preventing the common leak of queryable, reversible document-derived artifacts
- Lighthouse compliance layer delivers zero-trust identity and access, strict data isolation of workloads and secrets, and enforced network segmentation with narrow communication paths
- Sentinel maintains an immutable audit log of every compliance check, providing verifiable evidence suitable for CMMC L2, HIPAA, FERPA, and NIST 800-171 standards
- Fully managed service covers hardware installation, updates, and lifecycle management, freeing customer staff from operational overhead
- Fixed monthly pricing with no per-token metering and no capital expenditure, enabling predictable budgeting for IT and compliance teams
