Overview
ROOTKey’s on-premise deployment model is designed for organisations operating under strict data sovereignty requirements, air-gapped network policies, or sector-specific regulations that prohibit or restrict cloud-hosted processing of sensitive data. In this model, ROOTKey’s core infrastructure is deployed within the client’s own environment - whether a private data centre, a government-grade secure facility, or a hybrid cloud architecture. The platform adapts to the client’s existing infrastructure rather than requiring the client to adapt to a fixed cloud topology. The full API contract, all data processing protocols, and all platform capabilities remain identical to the cloud-hosted model. The deployment footprint is what changes - not the product.Architecture Overview
Blockchain anchoring options in on-premise deployments:- Controlled outbound - ROOTKey communicates with the Polygon network through a defined, auditable outbound channel
- Private node - a dedicated Polygon node is operated within the client’s perimeter, eliminating external dependencies for anchoring
Deployment Characteristics

| Network exposure | Configurable - isolated, private, or with controlled egress |
| API contract | Identical to cloud-hosted |
| Data residency | Fully within client perimeter |
| Protocol support | RKP-1, RKP-2, RKP-3 |
| Blockchain anchoring | Controlled outbound or private node |
| Update model | Coordinated with client operations team |
Typical Use Cases
Defence and Government
Classified or sensitive operational systems requiring full air-gap capability and data residency within sovereign infrastructure.
Critical Infrastructure Operators
Energy, water, and telecommunications operators subject to NIS2 critical entity obligations with strict data handling requirements.
Financial Institutions
Banks and financial services firms operating under regulatory requirements that mandate on-premise processing of certain data classes.
Healthcare Providers
Hospitals and healthcare networks managing patient data under GDPR, HIPAA, or national health data regulations requiring local data residency.
Industrial and OT Environments
Manufacturing and industrial organisations operating Operational Technology networks that are physically or logically isolated from external networks.
Legal and Professional Services
Law firms and professional services organisations handling privileged client data that must remain within a controlled perimeter.
Integration Considerations
Infrastructure scoping On-premise deployments are scoped on a per-client basis. ROOTKey’s solutions engineering team conducts an infrastructure assessment to define resource requirements, network topology, and anchoring model before deployment begins. Data residency and sovereignty All data processed by the on-premise instance remains within the client’s perimeter. No data is transmitted to ROOTKey’s cloud infrastructure unless explicitly configured for hybrid operations. Maintenance and updates Software updates are coordinated with the client’s operations team and applied through agreed maintenance windows. ROOTKey provides release notes and migration guidance for each update cycle. Support model On-premise deployments include dedicated support channels. SLA terms are defined in the enterprise agreement. Contact contact@rootkey.ai for enterprise support options. Compliance documentation ROOTKey provides technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and security artefacts to support client compliance assessments, audits, and certifications.Request a deployment consultation
