Key Security Features

No internet connection required or allowed
All data remains within your physical premises
Model updates delivered via encrypted USB or secure physical media
Zero telemetry or usage data collection
Hardware-enforced network isolation

AI Security Risks in the Cloud

IBM and Ponemon Institute research reveals the hidden costs of ungoverned AI adoption. Organizations rushing to implement AI without proper security controls face significantly higher breach costs and compliance risks.

MLNavigator's Solution: Air-gapped AI eliminates cloud security risks while providing enterprise-grade governance controls. No unauthorized access, no data breaches, no compliance violations.

CMMC Level 2 Compliance

Built to support organizations pursuing CMMC Level 2 certification under DFARS 252.204-7021 requirements.

NIST SP 800-171

Implements controls across all 14 families of NIST SP 800-171 requirements

ITAR Ready

Designed for handling ITAR-controlled technical data with secure isolation

AS9100 Support

Quality management features aligned with AS9100D aerospace standards

Immutable Logs

Tamper-proof audit trails for compliance verification and forensics

Access Control & Authentication

Multi-layered authentication and role-based access control (RBAC) ensure only authorized personnel can access sensitive data and system functions.

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA): Hardware token and biometric options
Role-Based Access Control: Granular permissions for engineers, quality managers, and administrators
Session Management: Automatic timeout and concurrent session controls
Audit Logging: Every user action logged with immutable timestamps

Data Protection

All data at rest is encrypted using AES-256. System firmware and boot processes use secure boot with cryptographic verification.

Encryption Standards

Data at Rest: AES-256 encryption for all stored data
Secure Boot: UEFI Secure Boot with TPM 2.0
Key Management: Hardware security module (HSM) integration
Data Sanitization: NIST 800-88 compliant disk wiping

Physical Security

MLNavigator hardware includes tamper-evident seals and intrusion detection. All components ship with chain-of-custody documentation.

Tamper-evident enclosure with intrusion sensors
Secure element for cryptographic operations
Physical destruction mechanisms for emergency data sanitization
Chain-of-custody tracking from manufacturing to deployment

NIST 800-171 Control Mapping

MLNavigator implements controls across all 14 families of NIST SP 800-171 requirements. Below is a mapping of key controls to product features:

Control Family	NIST Control	MLNavigator Feature
Access Control	3.1.1, 3.1.2	Role-based access control (RBAC), MFA
Audit & Accountability	3.3.1, 3.3.2	Immutable audit logs, tamper-proof trails
Configuration Management	3.4.1, 3.4.2	Secure configuration baselines, change tracking
Identification & Authentication	3.5.1, 3.5.2	Multi-factor authentication, session management
System & Communications Protection	3.13.1, 3.13.2	Air-gapped architecture, network isolation
System & Information Integrity	3.14.1, 3.14.2	Integrity monitoring, secure boot

Complete control mapping available upon request. Contact security@mlnavigator.com for detailed documentation.

Security Assurance & Certification

Third-party certification pending (2026 timeline). MLNavigator is designed to meet the stringent requirements of defense contractors and aerospace manufacturers.

Upcoming Security Assessments

• Pen-test schedule to be announced
• SOC 2 Type II planned Q4 2026
• CMMC Level 2 assessment support available

Note: While MLNavigator provides comprehensive security controls, customers remain responsible for their overall security posture, including physical security, personnel vetting, and policy enforcement.
