Security & Compliance First
Your data never leaves the building. On-premises AI keeps every prompt, document, and model interaction on hardware you control — GDPR-ready, HIPAA-compliant, and fully auditable.
Compliance Built In, Not Bolted On
Cloud AI sends your prompts and documents to third-party servers, where they may be logged, reviewed, or used to train models that could end up in your competitors' hands. On-premises AI removes that exposure at the architecture level — nothing crosses your network boundary, so there is nothing to leak, nothing to subpoena, and nothing to lose in a breach at someone else's data center.

Why Architecture Beats Policy
A cloud AI vendor's privacy policy is a promise; on-premises is a guarantee enforced by physics. When the model runs on a Mac Studio in your office, there is no API call to intercept, no vendor retention period to negotiate, and no training pipeline that ever sees your data. That is the difference between hoping your data is private and knowing it is — and it is why regulated industries, healthcare, and anyone handling confidential client work move to on-premises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is on-premises AI compliant with HIPAA, GDPR and PIPEDA data residency rules?
Faraday Machines designs its on-premises AI to be GDPR-ready and HIPAA-compliant, because prompts, documents and model outputs never leave your building. Data processed on-premises in Canada stays under Canadian jurisdiction, supporting PIPEDA and provincial privacy requirements. Under Faraday Machines' shared security model, your organization remains responsible for physical security, user access and ongoing regulatory compliance.
How is data encrypted on Faraday Machines systems?
Faraday Machines ships every Mac Studio with Apple's FileVault full-disk encryption enabled, providing XTS-AES-128 encryption for data at rest, and all communication between devices uses TLS encryption for data in transit. Systems also use a hardware-verified secure boot process, and administrative access supports multi-factor authentication. Read the security policy for the full list of safeguards.
Does Faraday Machines provide audit logs for AI usage?
Yes. Faraday Machines systems include audit logging with complete access tracking: detailed audit trails for system activity and access attempts, session access logging, real-time alerting for suspicious security events, and automated security and compliance reports. Scale plans add detailed forensic logging and analysis, plus enhanced network monitoring and intrusion detection.
Will my data be used to train AI models?
No. With Faraday Machines, AI models run on hardware in your own office, so no third-party training pipeline ever sees your prompts or documents. Cloud AI services send data to external servers, where it may be logged, reviewed or used to train models; on-premises AI removes that exposure at the architecture level because nothing crosses your network boundary.
