THREAT ANALYSIS

The High-Liability Gap

For 90% of users, Cloud AI is fine.
For the other 10%—healthcare, finance, and R&D—data egress is a fireable offense.

Risk: High

The IP Leak

Semiconductors & R&D

The Incident:"In 2023, engineers at a major tech firm pasted proprietary source code into a public LLM to optimize it. That code is now part of the model's training data, potentially accessible to competitors."

The Engram Fix:Engram indexes local repositories (Git) and runs Llama 3 on-device. Your IP never leaves the localhost loop.

Risk: Critical

The M&A Breach

Legal & Finance

The Incident:"Mergers & Acquisitions rely on strict confidentiality. Uploading a 'confidential_balance_sheet.pdf' to a cloud PDF parser for summarization violates NDA terms instantly."

The Engram Fix:Engram uses a local OCR engine to parse PDFs. The vector database (Qdrant) lives on your encrypted SSD.

Risk: Critical

The HIPAA Violation

Healthcare

The Incident:"Doctors need AI to draft patient notes, but inputting PII (Personally Identifiable Information) into a web prompt violates HIPAA and GDPR compliance regulations."

The Engram Fix:Engram operates in an air-gapped environment. No data packet is ever sent to a third-party server, ensuring 100% compliance.

The "Air-Gap" Guarantee

True security isn't about better encryption keys; it's about physics. If the wire is cut, the data cannot leak.

Engram is designed to function fully on a machine with Wi-Fi disabled. Once the initial model weights (4GB) are downloaded, you can physically disconnect your device and perform RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) on unlimited documents.
