We've worked in classified environments. We understand what it means to build systems where security isn't optional and mistakes have consequences.
The technical challenges aren't that different—Foundry works the same whether you're in a SCIF or a corporate office. What changes is everything around it.
Air-gapped networks where you can't just npm install a package. Security policies that require specific approval workflows. Data that can't move between classification levels without going through proper channels. Cleared personnel who can't be replaced quickly if something goes wrong.
These constraints affect how you design systems. You need people who've navigated them before.
Data exists at different classification levels. Unclassified logistics data, secret operational data, TS/SCI intelligence data. Each lives in its own network. Sharing between them requires cross-domain solutions with proper sanitization and approval chains.
We design Foundry architectures that work within these constraints—what data can flow where, what transformations happen at each level, how to handle the inevitable cases where someone needs information from a different classification domain.
Different organizations need access to different subsets of data. Service branches, partner nations, contractor teams—each with their own security requirements and need-to-know restrictions.
This requires careful ontology and space design. Organization markings, restricted views with row-level policies, proper audit logging. We've built these architectures before and know the patterns that work.
Running AI models in classified environments means no external connectivity. Models get loaded offline, run entirely within your security boundary, and never send data out. This requires different deployment and validation procedures than cloud-connected systems.
We've worked through the approval process for bringing AI into classified environments. We know what security teams need to see and how to structure the architecture to meet their requirements.
Our engineers hold active TS/SCI clearances. If you have a cleared requirement, we can start immediately instead of waiting 12-18 months for someone new to process.
We understand the personnel security rules—read-on requirements, briefing and debriefing procedures, handling of classified material in development environments. People who haven't worked in this world before make mistakes that create problems.
We can't discuss specific programs, but our team has experience with:
Many of our engagements are as subcontractors to larger primes who need Palantir specialists on their teams. We're set up for this—small business set-aside eligible, fast contract vehicle onboarding, experience working within prime contractor structures.
If you're a prime that won work requiring Foundry expertise, we can augment your team with cleared engineers who know the platform.
We operate under NIST 800-171 controls for CUI. We understand DFARS requirements, ITAR restrictions, and what it means to work on systems that require FedRAMP or higher authorizations.
Our engineers have been through security awareness training, know how to handle classified material properly, and understand the consequences of security violations in this domain.
Tell us about your program and what you need. We can discuss specifics once under NDA or in an appropriate environment.
