Unclear data paths
Teams need an architecture-level view of where artifacts, prompts, outputs, logs and backups can move.
Security
Fit the security architecture to the engineering programme
KlugSpice supports customer-cloud, on-premises and air-gapped deployment patterns.
Why it matters
Engineering data requires system-level security decisions
Model hosting is only one part of the threat surface. Connectors, identities, repositories, logs, updates and operator access all shape programme risk.
Shared or excessive privileges
Connector and agent permissions must not silently exceed the user, project or task boundary.
Undefined operations
Patching, monitoring, incident response, backup and recovery need named owners in every deployment model.
Security architecture
Define the boundary before connecting engineering systems
Security design begins with data classification and responsibility, then maps controls to the chosen deployment.
Classify data and threats
Identify programme sensitivity, regulatory constraints, supplier boundaries and plausible misuse or compromise paths.
Select the deployment pattern
Place application, models, storage and integrations according to connectivity and control requirements.
Map identity and least privilege
Use customer identity where agreed and limit user, service and connector permissions to authorized work.
Verify operations
Test logging, alerting, change control, incident response, backup and recovery responsibilities before production use.
Deployment choice does not remove operational responsibility. Every pattern needs verified configuration, ownership and ongoing maintenance.
Execution outcomes
Security questions the architecture must answer
A production design should make data flow, trust boundaries, privileged actions and operating ownership reviewable.
Data boundary
Where project artifacts, embeddings, prompts, outputs, logs and backups are processed and retained.
Access boundary
How human, service, connector and model access is authenticated, authorized and reviewed.
Protection controls
How encryption, secrets, network segmentation and system hardening are implemented in the selected environment.
Operational controls
Who monitors, patches, responds, recovers and verifies that the agreed posture remains effective.
Control and evidence
Security is demonstrated by the deployed configuration
Architecture documentation, configuration records and operational tests should support each agreed control claim. Product descriptions alone are not evidence of a customer deployment.

Questions teams ask
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for engineering, quality, security and programme leaders.
Can KlugSpice run air-gapped?
Yes. A fully air-gapped deployment can be designed with customer-controlled identity, repositories and model infrastructure, subject to the agreed implementation and operations.
Does an on-premises deployment guarantee security?
No. Security depends on architecture, configuration, identity, patching, monitoring and operational practice. Location alone is not a guarantee.
Does KlugSpice require broad repository write access?
No. Connector permissions can be scoped by workflow, and writeback can remain disabled or restricted to controlled approval paths.
