Security and deployment

Deploy enterprise knowledge infrastructure within a defined boundary

ContextHarbor is designed for organizations that need to control where knowledge is stored, how it is processed, and which applications can retrieve it.

The final deployment architecture is agreed during technical evaluation and aligned with the organization’s infrastructure and security requirements.

Deployment principles

Make the knowledge boundary explicit.

Approved environment

Run ContextHarbor within an agreed infrastructure boundary rather than sending the complete knowledge estate to a public application.

Project separation

Organize documents, embeddings, retrieval, and interfaces around defined project namespaces.

Provider choice

Use local or approved services for storage, embeddings, and required infrastructure components.

Defined interfaces

Expose knowledge through controlled interfaces instead of connecting every source directly to every AI client.

Source visibility

Return source information so users and applications can inspect the material behind retrieved context.

Incremental adoption

Begin with one controlled use case and expand only after technical and operational evaluation.

Data flow

A visible path from approved documents to retrieved context.

  1. Enter a project

    Approved documents enter a defined project namespace.

  2. Parse the material

    ContextHarbor divides the material into meaning-aware passages.

  3. Create representations

    An approved embedding provider prepares the passages for retrieval.

  4. Store project data

    Vectors and metadata remain associated with the selected project.

  5. Submit a query

    A user or application asks through an approved interface.

  6. Retrieve passages

    ContextHarbor searches the selected project for relevant material.

  7. Return context

    The requesting interface receives the retrieved context and source information.

Security evaluation

Review requirements against the actual deployment.

These are evaluation areas, not claims that every control is included in every ContextHarbor deployment.

Hosting and residency

Define the approved infrastructure and the geographic or organizational boundary for stored knowledge.

Network topology

Document inbound, outbound, provider, administration, and client connectivity requirements.

Identity and access

Evaluate the authentication and authorization controls required for the intended deployment.

Encryption and secrets

Agree how transport, storage, credentials, and provider secrets will be protected.

Isolation and retention

Review project boundaries, retention, deletion, backup, and recovery responsibilities.

Operations

Define monitoring, updates, vulnerability management, incident response, and support ownership.

Operating model

Define responsibilities before production.
