Government & Defence

Last updated: May 2026

Overview

Government agencies and defence organisations operate in environments where connectivity to the public internet is a liability, not a feature. NOVE is designed from the ground up to function as a fully self-contained, air-gapped DFIR platform — no telemetry, no cloud callbacks, no vendor dependencies. Classified evidence stays classified. Threat intelligence is bundled offline. Every component meets the sovereignty requirements that government and defence procurement demands.

Key Challenges

  • Classified environment requirements mean commercial SaaS tools are categorically prohibited — any platform with internet connectivity fails security accreditation.
  • No internet connectivity allowed in operational networks — threat intelligence feeds, update pipelines, and vendor telemetry all represent unacceptable data egress paths.
  • FIPS 140-2 compliance requirements for cryptographic modules rule out most commercial security platforms that rely on non-validated cryptographic implementations.
  • Data sovereignty requirements mandate that investigation data and evidence never leave the jurisdiction or network boundary — cloud-hosted platforms cannot meet this requirement.

Deployable in fully air-gapped classified environments with no internet dependency.

How NOVE Helps

  • Fully air-gapped deployment architecture with zero external calls — no telemetry, no update pings, no vendor callbacks. Operates indefinitely on isolated networks.
  • FIPS 140-2 compliant storage and cryptographic operations — evidence integrity, key management, and transport security all use validated cryptographic modules.
  • Offline threat intelligence bundles updated via secure media transfer — YARA rules, IOC feeds, and MITRE ATT&CK data refreshed on a controlled cadence without internet access.
  • Classified evidence handling with mandatory access controls, security classification labels, and compartmentalised case access — evidence stays within authorised boundaries.
  • On-premises deployment on government-controlled infrastructure — no shared tenancy, no SaaS dependencies, full infrastructure sovereignty from day one.
