AI cloud and security for data that cannot leave your control
Private AI infrastructure for organisations whose security review stops AI before it starts. We design, deploy and support the environment your AI runs in, on premises, in private or hybrid cloud, or air gapped, and customer data never leaves authorised boundaries.
We work with clients and partners across the globe.
The problem
Why AI stalls at the security review
The AI itself is rarely the blocker. Where it runs, and what it can reach, often is.
-
Staff already paste data into public AI tools
The tools are useful, so people use them. Customer records and contracts end up on servers nobody vetted.
-
The data the AI needs is not allowed to move
The use case is sound, but the records sit under rules that rule out a shared public service. The project stops at the first data protection review.
-
Nowhere suitable to run it
The trial ran on a vendor’s shared service. Production needs private compute, and nobody budgeted for it or owns it.
What we do
AI cloud and security services from one team
Three jobs, delivered together, so the environment, the controls and the AI running in it have one owner.
-
Private AI environments
Talk to an expertAI and agents served inside your own tenancy, your data centre or an air gapped site. Nothing is sent to a shared public AI service.
-
Data boundaries you set
Talk to an expertWe map which data the AI may read and where it may go, then enforce that in the environment. Customer data is never shared or processed outside authorised boundaries.
-
Access control
Talk to an expertRole based access per system and per field, granted by role and revoked when the role ends.
The process
How we set up a secure AI environment
Five stages. The boundary is agreed before anything is deployed, and the environment is tested before any live data enters it.
-
Discovery
We map the use case, the data it needs and the rules that govern that data. You get a written scope, a cost estimate and a timeline before anything is built.
-
Boundary and design
Where the AI runs, what it can reach and who can reach it, agreed on paper with your security team.
-
The environment
Compute, storage and networking set up on premises, in private or hybrid cloud, or air gapped, supplied through our sister company DS Total Solutions where you have none.
-
Controls and testing
Access and data boundaries configured, then tested with dummy data before any live record enters the environment.
-
Going live and support
The first workload moves in and runs alongside the old route. Support covers patches, access reviews and the next workload.
Why Elev8
Why businesses trust Elev8 with sensitive AI workloads
Plenty of providers will host AI. These are the reasons the sensitive workloads come here.
-
Every solution can run fully offline
On premises or air gapped, as well as in private or hybrid cloud. Where it runs is decided by your data rules, not by our preference.
-
Infrastructure through our sister company
Hosting, networking and hardware from our sister company DS Total Solutions, under one point of accountability.
-
Compute sized to the task
Each use case is evaluated to minimise GPU consumption, with custom software where AI is not essential. Less hardware to secure, and a smaller carbon footprint.
-
The platforms are ours
Agent8 and L1nks are our own software, so a security fix does not wait on another vendor’s release cycle.
-
Information security run to ISO 27001 practice
Part of how we build, whatever the sector.
-
You keep the controls
The environment runs in your estate and is documented, so your own team or another supplier can run it without us.
Platforms
Our own platforms, deployed privately
Each one runs inside the environment we set up for you, not on a shared service.

Common questions
AI cloud and security questions, answered plainly
Everything you need to know about working with Elev8.
Can we use AI without sending our data to a public AI service?
Yes. The AI runs inside your own estate: on premises, in your private cloud tenancy or as an air gapped installation. Prompts, documents and outputs stay within the boundary you set, and nothing is used to train AI for anyone else. Public AI services remain an option where your data rules allow them.
How does Elev8 ensure data security and privacy in AI solutions?
All our solutions can be deployed fully offline, or within private or hybrid cloud environments. We never share or process customer data outside authorised boundaries. You decide where your data sits and who can reach it, and that is agreed before anything is deployed.
What deployment options are available for Elev8's products?
Our products are platform agnostic and support multiple deployment models, including on premises servers, private or public cloud, hybrid environments, or even air gapped installations for sensitive clients.
Do we need our own GPU hardware?
Not necessarily. We evaluate each use case to minimise GPU consumption, so many workloads run on ordinary compute. Where AI does need accelerated hardware, that is settled at the design stage, and our sister company DS Total Solutions can supply it if you have none.
Will you work with our security team?
Yes, from the start. The boundary and the access rules are agreed with them on paper before anything is deployed, and they get the documentation to test against.
Do you run our security operations?
Our part is the environment your AI runs in: we design it, deploy it and configure its controls. Monitoring your wider estate and responding to incidents stays with your IT team or your managed security provider, and our people can work alongside them when a project needs it.
How is an AI cloud and security project priced?
After discovery, once the scope is clear. Cost is driven by the number of workloads, the environment they need and the controls your data requires, not by the size of your company. Smaller, well defined projects can run at a fixed price, and larger or ongoing work on a monthly retainer set around your budget.
