Secure Annotation Services
On-premises teams, monitored facilities, and air-gapped environments — annotation services built for organizations where data security is non-negotiable.
Your Data Never Leaves Your Control
Some data is too sensitive for cloud-based annotation. Centric Labs offers fully on-premises, air-gapped annotation environments where your data stays within your physical infrastructure. Our teams deploy to your facilities — or work in our own monitored, access-controlled centers — with no data ever traversing the public internet.
- Air-gapped networks with zero internet connectivity
- Biometric access, CCTV monitoring, clean desk policy
- No personal devices — managed workstations only
- Background-checked and NDA-bound annotators
- Tamper-evident audit logs and data lineage
Defense-in-Depth Approach
Multiple overlapping security controls at every layer of the annotation pipeline.
Physical Security
Dedicated secure rooms with badge-controlled entry, biometric verification, 24/7 CCTV recording, and visitor management. No removable media, no cameras, no personal electronics. Workstations have disabled USB ports and no external connectivity.
Network Security
Air-gapped or VPN-isolated networks with no public internet access. Data transfer via encrypted physical media or dedicated secure links. DLP (Data Loss Prevention) agents monitor all endpoints for unauthorized data movement.
Personnel Security
Background checks, criminal record verification, and reference validation for all annotators. Mandatory security awareness training, signed NDAs, and non-compete agreements. Role-based access ensures annotators only see data relevant to their tasks.
Data Governance
Full chain-of-custody documentation from data ingestion to delivery. Every access, edit, and export is logged with timestamps and user identities. Data retention policies enforced automatically with certified destruction upon project completion.
Audit & Compliance
Regular internal and third-party security audits. SOC 2 Type II aligned controls with documented evidence. We support client-initiated security assessments and provide compliance documentation for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ITAR, and GDPR.
On-Premises Deployment
We deploy our annotation platform directly on your infrastructure — cloud, on-prem, or hybrid. Our engineering team handles installation, configuration, and ongoing support without requiring persistent access to your environment.
