Privacy infrastructure for the sovereign era
Paranops builds open-source, on-prem software for organizations that refuse to hand their most sensitive communications to someone else's cloud.
The Problem
Every message, every document, every AI query your team sends through a SaaS platform is data you no longer control. And the risks are growing.
Every document summarized by a third-party AI is a document you've given away. Client files, legal briefs, source materials — sent to servers you don't own, in jurisdictions you don't choose.
Foreign cloud providers operate under foreign laws. A subpoena in another country can expose your communications without your knowledge or consent.
You can't audit what you can't see. Closed-source platforms ask you to trust their privacy claims while making their actual code, logging, and data handling invisible.
Who This Is For
Protect sources. Keep editorial communications off platforms that can be subpoenaed or surveilled.
Attorney-client privilege requires infrastructure you control. Not a checkbox in someone else's terms of service.
When your adversary is a state actor, your communications platform cannot be operated by a company in that state.
Threat intel, vulnerability reports, and zero-day discussions don't belong on shared infrastructure.
Compliance isn't about ticking boxes — it's about proving exactly where patient and client data lives.
Government bodies and international organizations that need communication infrastructure under their own jurisdiction.
First Product
Secure, accountless messaging you deploy on your own infrastructure. No sign-ups. No third-party servers. No trust required.
No dependency on a central SaaS provider. Your team communicates without creating accounts on someone else's platform.
Eliminates the single point of compromise that account-based systems create.
Run on a local machine, private server, sovereign cloud, or fully on-prem. You choose where your data lives.
From a laptop in the field to a hardened data center — same software, your choice of environment.
Every line of code is auditable. No opaque binaries, no hidden telemetry. Trust through transparency.
Your security team can review every commit before deployment.
Start with messaging. Grow into secure file exchange, private document search, and on-prem AI workflows.
One deployment today. A full private infrastructure platform tomorrow.
