Deployment Flexibility

Your Infrastructure. Your Rules.

Deploy SecureAuth where your data must live — not where a vendor's SLA requires it. Cloud-native, on-prem, air-gapped, sovereign, or hybrid. The same security controls regardless of where you run.

The problem with cloud-only IAM

Cloud-only IAM Leaves Regulated Industries With No Viable Path

Pure cloud-native IAM vendors require authentication data to flow through their cloud infrastructure. For regulated financial institutions, government departments, defense contractors, and healthcare organizations with data sovereignty requirements, this is a non-starter. On the other side, legacy on-prem IAM products can't keep pace with cloud application demands. Most organizations are stuck between these two inadequate options.

The SecureAuth difference

One Product, Every Deployment Model

Deployment Flexibility supports multiple deployment approaches so identity services can run in the environment that best fits the organization's needs. SaaS, dedicated instance, private cloud, on-premises, or air-gapped — the same product, the same features, the same APIs. Your compliance requirements drive the deployment model, not the vendor's architecture.

Where deployment flexibility matters

Real Environments SecureAuth Is Built For

Regulated industries, sovereign environments, and hybrid modernization projects all need deployment flexibility — not cloud-only lock-in. These are the scenarios SecureAuth is built for.

Regulated financial

UK data residency with no data leaving UK infrastructure

FCA-regulated financial institutions require all authentication data to remain within UK-hosted infrastructure. Pure cloud-native IAM vendors route data through their own infrastructure in undisclosed regions. This is a non-starter for compliance.

SecureAuth approach

SecureAuth deployed in UK AWS region, the bank's infrastructure, SecureAuth's software. Full feature parity with SaaS. All authentication data stays within UK boundaries. FCA, PRA, and DORA compliance paths met without compromise.

UK data residencyFCA compliantFull feature parity
Government & defense

Air-gapped deployment in classified environments

Defense contractors and government departments operate classified networks with no external connectivity. Cloud-only IAM vendors cannot operate in this environment. Legacy on-prem products lack modern authentication capabilities.

SecureAuth approach

Full SecureAuth feature set operating entirely within the organization's perimeter. No external connectivity required. Kubernetes-native deployment with Helm charts. Zero-downtime rolling upgrades managed entirely internally.

Hybrid modernization

Legacy directory bridged to cloud auth layer

Large enterprises have 20-year-old on-prem LDAP directories that can't be migrated overnight. New cloud applications need modern OIDC. Legacy applications still need LDAP and Kerberos. Forcing a single model breaks one side or the other.

SecureAuth approach

Cloud auth layer bridges to the existing directory. New apps get modern OIDC. Legacy apps keep LDAP and Kerberos. Migration happens at the organization's pace, not the vendor's timeline. Both worlds coexist under one control plane.

Healthcare sovereignty

NHS infrastructure with patient data boundaries

UK NHS trusts require patient authentication data to stay within NHS infrastructure. Standard SaaS IAM vendors cannot guarantee this. Regulatory requirements (CQC, DSP Toolkit) mandate specific data handling controls.

SecureAuth approach

SecureAuth deployed on NHS-approved cloud with data never leaving NHS boundaries. CQC and DSP Toolkit compliant. Full feature parity with the SaaS offering. Patient authentication data stays where regulators require it.

Deployment models

One Product. Every Infrastructure Model.

From multi-tenant SaaS to air-gapped sovereign environments — SecureAuth runs where your data must live, with full feature parity and the same APIs across every deployment model.

1

SaaS multi-tenant and dedicated instance

Fastest deployment on shared infrastructure, or an isolated cloud instance with customer subdomain for organizations that need separation without managing their own infrastructure.

2

Private cloud (BYOC)

Deploy in your own AWS, Azure, or GCP account. SecureAuth manages the software; you control the infrastructure. Full feature parity with the SaaS offering.

3

On-premises with Kubernetes-native deployment

Customer data center deployment with Helm charts and operator support. High availability with multi-AZ active-active clustering. Horizontal auto-scaling handles authentication traffic spikes.

4

Air-gapped and sovereign environments

No external connectivity required. Full SecureAuth feature set operating entirely within the organization's perimeter. Designed for defense, government, and classified network requirements.

5

Data residency with regional options

UK, EU, US, and APAC hosting regions. FCA, GDPR, FedRAMP-aligned configurations. Custom sovereign cloud options for government and defense-specific environments.
