Core Challenge:
Data sovereignty

A defense contractor had 20 years of business-development knowledge sitting in a proprietary CRM and document archives. They needed AI to put it to work, but couldn't let a single controlled document leave their environment while they prepared for CMMC Level 2. Modernize built AI that runs entirely on hardware they own, keeps the access controls they already had, and produces the evidence an auditor will ask for.

‍
The Problem
Two decades of contract, proposal and marketing knowledge was locked in a proprietary, on-prem CRM with no AI connectors
Cloud and SaaS AI tools were off the table, because controlled data and anything indexed from it couldn't leave the perimeter
The team had no in-house expertise in GPU inference, Kubernetes or LLM tooling
Earlier consultants had delivered strategy decks, not infrastructure that could be deployed, audited and defended
Our Approach
Deployed AI infrastructure on hardware the client owns, with no data or derived indexes leaving their boundary
Built custom integrations that connect Linux and Windows environments so AI can reach content wherever it lives
Carried existing document-level permissions through to the AI layer, with role-based access and full audit trails
Rolled out in crawl-walk-run phases and provided audit-ready documentation and templates for CMMC Level 2
