Your data stays in your control
Needl.ai runs in your own cloud account, on premise, or in a dedicated instance we operate for you. It follows your permissions, never trains on your data, and is independently audited for SOC 2 Type II and certified to ISO 27001.
Request security documents See deployment options
How your data stays yours
The same commitments apply in every deployment.
Never used for training
Your documents, questions and outputs are never used to train any model, ours or a model provider's.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
Data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher and at rest with managed keys. Credentials for your connected systems are encrypted with AES-256.
Every answer traceable
Each finding links to the page it came from, so a reviewer can open the source and check it.
Activity on record
Questions, answers and the sources behind them are kept on record. In your own cloud, infrastructure activity lands in your own logs.
Deleted on request
Ask us and we delete your documents, indexes and everything derived from them, then confirm it in writing.
Single sign-on
Sign in with your Microsoft account, so access follows your identity provider.
Deploy where your data already lives
Three ways to run Needl.ai, each with the same security controls. Start in our cloud and move into your own environment when you are ready.
Needl.ai cloud
Our managed cloud. Each organisation's data is kept separate, encrypted and access-controlled under our SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 controls.

Protection built into every answer
Security sits in the product as well as the infrastructure. Three safeguards are part of the platform itself.
Permission-aware by design
Needl.ai reads each document with the access every person has in the source system and records who can open it. Every search and answer is filtered by that record, so people only get results from files they could already open.
Access mirrors your source systems
Filtered on every search and answer
Each organisation's data kept separate
Safeguards before the model
A guardrails service sits in front of the language model, and each application switches on the checks it needs. A dedicated detection model screens prompts for injection attempts. What an assistant can reach is fixed by who is signed in, so a prompt cannot change it, and attempts to switch to another client's context are rejected.
Prompt-injection screening
Access scoped to the signed-in user
AI disclosure in every app
Your choice of model
Needl.ai keeps your data and workflows separate from the model underneath. Run on the model your firm has approved, including models hosted in your own cloud account. If a provider changes its terms or access, we switch models with no change to your data or workflows.
Works with the leading frontier models
Runs on models in your own cloud account
No rework when models change

Frequently asked questions
What security and risk teams ask before approving Needl.ai.
Where does our data live?
Where you choose: in your own AWS or Azure account or on premise, in a dedicated instance reserved for you, or in the Needl.ai cloud. You can start in our cloud and move into your own environment later.
Can we run AI due diligence inside our own cloud?
Yes. Needl.ai can be installed in your own AWS or Azure account, so the data room, the model and the memo stay inside your perimeter, under your keys, network rules and logs. A dedicated instance reserved for you and the Needl.ai cloud are the other options, and you can start in our cloud and move later.
Do you train models on our data?
No. Your documents, questions and outputs are never used to train any model, ours or a model provider's.
Which models do you use, and can we choose?
Needl.ai works with the leading frontier models and can run on the model your firm has approved, including models hosted in your own cloud account. Your data and workflows stay separate from the model, so a switch needs no change on your side.
Who at Needl.ai can access our data?
In your own cloud or on premise, only the people you grant access. In a dedicated instance or the Needl.ai cloud, access is limited to authorised Needl.ai staff who need it to run the service, under the controls audited for SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001.
How do permissions work?
Needl.ai records who can open each document in the source system and filters every search and answer by that record. People only get results from files they could already open. The context infrastructure note explains how.
Can you delete our data?
Yes. Ask us and we delete your documents, indexes and everything derived from them, then confirm it in writing.
Will you sign our NDA?
Yes. We sign a mutual NDA before any data is shared, and provide a data processing agreement for your review.
Can we review your SOC 2 report and penetration test?
Yes. Our SOC 2 Type II report, ISO 27001 certificate, CASA letter and penetration test summary are available under NDA.
