The AI dilemma

Two options — both are risks.

75% of knowledge workers already use AI. 8.5-13% of all prompts contain sensitive data. Legacy DLP and firewalls were not built for natural language.

Option A

Ban AI usage

You block ChatGPT and other models for all employees. Sounds safe — but your staff use them anyway, on private devices, through workarounds. Shadow IT grows, and the company falls behind.

Control is an illusion. Productivity drops.
Option B

Allow AI usage uncontrolled

You let employees use ChatGPT or other models without controls. Teams get more productive — but customer data, contracts, and HR records flow unchecked into US clouds. No audit, no traceability. A GDPR violation can cost up to 4% of your annual revenue.

A single prompt can cost millions.

Both options are bad.

There is a third way.

Security headlines

This is what happens when AI stays uncontrolled.

Not theory. Real incidents. Real companies.

Questions are the new files.

Every prompt is a potential data leak.

Brane AIF makes sure sensitive data never leaves your company.

The third way

Allow AI with controls.Data stays inside the company.

Brane AIF is an AI Interaction Firewall — on-premise, auditable, GDPR compliant. Employees work with the same models they'd use in the cloud. The data doesn't leave the company.

Brane AIF sits between your employees and AI. Safe Prompt analyzes every request semantically, protects sensitive data automatically, and routes intelligently — giving your teams unified access to all top AI models through a single interface, without the security risk.

Employee asks the AI

One interface for every model. Like ChatGPT — just secure.

Brane AIF routes intelligently

Sensitive? Process locally. Non-critical? Best cloud model, anonymized.

Best answer, secure

Full AI power. Data stays protected. Every request, every routing decision, and every data access logged.

The gap

A structural gap in the security stack.

Every layer validates something. None of them validate the conversation between humans and AI models.

Identity (IAM)
Validates who — but not what is said.
Network / SSE
Controls access — not conversation content.
Endpoint (EDR)
Validates device posture — blind to prompts.

Category definition

The AI Interaction Firewall.

Security controls that govern human-AI interactions by semantically inspecting prompts and enforcing data protection policies — before information reaches the model.

Preventive

Blocks and redacts inline — before data leaves the company.

Semantic

Understands intent, not just keywords.

Model-agnostic

Unified policy across all LLMs.

Interaction-centric

Bidirectional prompt and response flow.

Architecture

The Cognitive Perimeter.

Every prompt goes through four stages before it reaches a model. All on-premise. All in real time.

  1. Step 1

    Inspection

    Analyze prompt content for sensitive data.

  2. Step 2

    Intent analysis

    Semantic classification of user intent.

  3. Step 3

    Policy engine

    Real-time enforcement of data rules and compliance.

  4. Step 4

    Smart routing

    Forwards to the right model endpoint based on sensitivity.

Sensitive → Private LLM

Data never leaves your perimeter. Processed on-premise.

Non-critical → Cloud LLM

Best performance, lowest cost. Anonymized before transmission.

The honest comparison

Three paths to AI. Each has trade-offs.

Cloud AI, in-house build, or Brane AIF — every option has strengths. What matters is which priorities you set.

Why not DLP?

You can't solve a conversation with regex.

DLP was built for rigid file patterns. GenAI prompts are fluid, context-dependent, and semantic. A fundamentally different problem needs a fundamentally different solution.

Why Brane AIF

Four advantages cloud AI cannot deliver.

No vendor lock-in

You keep full control

Open standards, open APIs. Switch between AI providers at any time — no ecosystem coercion, no dependency. Your data stays in your network, under your control.

Biggest lever

Drastically cut API costs

Local processing instead of cloud fees

Sensitive requests run locally — free of charge. Only non-critical prompts go anonymized to the cloud. The more you process locally, the less you pay. Predictable fixed costs instead of variable token bills.

Fully air-gap capable

Zero outbound connection — if you want

All AI models run fully local, without internet. Not a single byte leaves your network — guaranteed. Ideal for KRITIS, government, and high-security environments. Cloud connectivity is optional and can be enabled at any time.

Gets better every month

Continuous updates — no downtime

New AI models, Safe Prompt improvements, and security patches arrive automatically. For air-gap systems via USB. The hardware stays — the software grows. And all that at a fraction of the energy consumption of cloud AI.

Green AI — Less cloud, less energy consumption

Every cloud AI request consumes energy for compute, cooling, and networking. Data centers need 30–60% extra energy for infrastructure (PUE). Brane AIF routes every request intelligently — from fully local to hybrid with cloud. You set the mix, Guardian Core enforces it.

Without Brane AIF100% cloud
With Brane AIF0–100% cloud — you decide

4 modes: Local-Only, Local-Preferred, Cloud-Preferred, Cloud-Only — Guardian Core routes every request per your policy.

200Wper boxLocal AI inference for up to 3,000 users on a single NVIDIA — less power than a gaming PC.
1.3–1.6xPUE overhead eliminatedData centers consume 30–60% extra energy for cooling and infrastructure — every locally processed request saves this overhead.

Economics

From per-seat SaaS to infrastructure economics.

Cloud AI costs scale linearly with employee count. Brane AIF inverts the unit economics.

$$

The cloud AI problem

Per-seat, per-token pricing. Costs scale linearly with adoption. The more employees use AI, the higher the bill.

90%

Local processing

Sensitive requests run locally at near-zero marginal cost. Only non-critical prompts go anonymized to the cloud. Predictable cost base instead of variable token exposure.

~80%

Cost reduction

Controlled AI with predictable costs vs. cloud-only. The larger the rollout, the bigger the advantage.

The larger the rollout, the bigger the advantage. This is infrastructure economics, not SaaS economics.

FAQ

What you want to know.

We already use ChatGPT Enterprise / Copilot. Why Brane AIF?

ChatGPT Enterprise and Copilot run on servers in the US or an EU cloud. Brane AIF runs on your hardware, in your network. No data leaves the building. We anonymize automatically via Smart Rehydration before anything reaches a cloud — including Microsoft.

Aren't local AI models much worse than GPT-5?

No — and you don't have to choose. Brane AIF uses all the major models (GPT-5.2, Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3 Pro) AND powerful local models like DeepSeek V3.2, GLM-4.7, and Qwen3. Safe Prompt routes automatically: sensitive data locally, non-critical anonymized to the cloud.

How long does installation take?

Under 30 minutes. You receive a turnkey system. Plug in, power on, start. No Kubernetes, no DevOps team required.

What exactly do I get? Do I need a server room?

Brane AIF is a compact, turnkey system — roughly the size of a small desktop PC. No server room needed. A network port and a power outlet are enough.

Am I tied to a single vendor?

No — no vendor lock-in. Brane AIF uses open standards. You can switch between cloud models (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini) at any time or go fully local open-source.

Which models run locally on Brane?

DeepSeek V3.2, GLM-4.7, Qwen3, the Llama-4 family for language, Mistral-Embed for retrieval. Customer-specific models on request. New models are delivered via signed updates.

How does Brane integrate into existing IT?

Ethernet port, REST API compatible with the OpenAI format, Active Directory integration, optionally an on-prem identity provider.

How are audit logs secured?

All requests are versioned on local disk with masked PII. Logs can be exported to SIEM (syslog, JSON).

Which compliance requirements are met?

GDPR, EU AI Act risk-class readiness, BSI-compliant encryption, TISAX-ready, ISO 27001. Data processing stays on the Brane node.

Is there a service level?

Standard SLA with 24h response time. Premium SLA with 4h response and a replacement node shipped within Germany.
