Sovereign ZTNA · Zero trust network access

Retire the VPN. Keep every byte at home.

Self-hosted zero trust network access with enterprise DLP built in. Make private apps invisible, inspect every channel your data could leave by, and keep every byte of access, audit and evidence data inside your borders.

  • Zero trust access
  • Privileged access
  • Enterprise DLP

Runs on-prem · private cloud · hybrid · air-gapped

Each user reaches exactly one app. Everything else stays dark.

The challenge

The VPN era is over — and global ZTNA isn't sovereign.

01 · VPN attack surface

One stolen credential opens the whole network.

Flat network access and exposed VPN concentrators are a top breach vector. Once inside, an attacker moves laterally to whatever the network can reach.

02 · Sovereignty

Your access data leaves the country.

SaaS-only ZTNA brokers your access decisions and keeps your logs in a foreign cloud — a non-starter under data-localisation rules.

03 · Data egress

Data walks out through other doors.

GenAI prompts, webmail, USB, print and clipboard move regulated data every day — and access control alone never sees it.

04 · Third parties

Standing access that nobody revokes.

Vendors, OEMs and auditors get standing access that nobody time-boxes, reviews or revokes.

The answer · Sovereign ZTNA

Default-deny access. Apps invisible. Data that can't leave.

One self-hosted platform closes all four gaps — your data, your servers, your rules, with no vendor cloud in the access path.

How it works

Why your private apps are invisible.

Step 1 · Outbound only

The connector dials out to the broker.

A connector beside each private app opens an outbound connection. Nothing ever listens for the internet — no public IP, no inbound firewall holes.

Step 2 · Brokered

Users reach one app — never the network.

Every request is authenticated, checked against policy and carried over mTLS to exactly one named application.

Step 3 · Nothing to scan

An inbound scan finds no open port.

There is nothing listening on the protected app — no path to phish into and nothing to attack.

Step 4 · Inspected

DLP inspects the session on the way through.

Because every session is brokered, uploads, downloads, clipboard and file transfer are inspected inline — and logged.

Module 03 · Continuous device trust

Verify the device — and keep verifying it.

01 · Enrol

Bound to the hardware.

Each device enrols against a hardware fingerprint and signs every request with its own cryptographic identity.

02 · Score

A live trust score on every decision.

Operating system, antivirus and disk encryption feed a device trust score that is evaluated on every access decision — 28 live posture signals in all.

03 · Watch

Posture drops. Access is pulled mid-session.

Continuous enforcement detects a posture drop in roughly 6–14 seconds and revokes the session in flight. Fail-closed by design.

04 · Tell

Everyone knows exactly why.

Banners and locked tiles explain the problem to the user; administrators are alerted on every compliant → non-compliant change.

Policy · identity · privileged access management · audit

Write the intent once. Enforce it everywhere.

One policy engine across identity, device, network, time and risk — with phishing-resistant MFA, PAM and tamper-evident audit built in.

Module 08 · Flagship · 50+ features

Data loss prevention, built into the access layer.

13+ channels · one policy

Every exit, one engine.

One detection engine and one policy set across every channel — an incident from a USB copy and one from a GenAI prompt land in the same console.

40+ detectors & engines

Understood before it's judged.

Files are identified by content, archives unpacked and scans read with OCR — then 18 validated patterns, Aadhaar, PAN and GSTIN checksums, Exact Data Match and a trainable classifier decide.

9 response actions

Not just block — graduated by risk.

Coach, redact mid-stream, watermark, encrypt to USB, quarantine or block. The response fits the risk, so legitimate work keeps moving.

Intelligence tier

Risky users get stricter answers.

Per-user insider-risk scores, recency-decayed and banded, auto-escalate Warn to Block. Data lineage ties a clipboard copy to the upload that follows.

Evidence · CASB / DSPM

From alert to evidence pack.

Every incident arrives investigation-ready: de-duplicated alerts, an encrypted copy with a masked excerpt, cases grouped by user, and compliance packs mapped to RBI, SEBI, DPDP, PCI, HIPAA and GDPR.

Shadow AI · GenAI DLP

Questions buyers ask

Sovereign ZTNA, answered.

We already use a cloud ZTNA — why switch?
Ask where your access decisions, logs and session data physically live, and whether DLP is in the same platform. Sovereign ZTNA runs entirely on your own servers, with access control and data protection under one policy engine: no vendor cloud in the access path, no separate DLP product.
Isn't self-hosting more work to operate?
The agent, connector and services self-heal through a built-in watchdog, the connector survives reboots and server URL changes without a reinstall, and the control plane is configurable live. You trade a per-seat subscription for control, not for headcount.
Is it enterprise-ready?
Continuous posture enforcement, a tamper-evident audit log, privileged access with maker-checker approvals, 13+ DLP channels and controls that support RBI, SEBI, CERT-In and DPDP are part of the platform, with encrypted backups and a documented DR runbook (RTO 4 hours or less, RPO 24 hours or less).
Can it control data going into AI tools?
Yes. A shadow-AI control plane sets a disposition per AI app (sanctioned, monitored, coach or blocked), discovers AI tools in use, redacts sensitive data from prompts in place, inspects AI responses too, and lets you test policy in a prompt simulator first.
Does it make us compliant with RBI, SEBI CSCRF, CERT-In or DPDP?
It provides audit-ready technical controls that support compliance: tamper-evident audit, maker-checker dual control, a DPDP consent ledger, CERT-In incident packaging and 180-day India-resident encrypted retention. Formal certification is a separate, third-party engagement.
