LLM.co · Private AI & Custom AI DevelopmentPrivate AI for government & defense
Assistants for controlled unclassified and classified environments, built to run disconnected and to support CMMC, ITAR and agency authorization programs.
FIG. — SAGE console, 1956LLM.co
Government and defense teams have the most to gain from AI and the least ability to use public services. Controlled data cannot leave the boundary, and many networks never touch the internet.
We build for those constraints from the start: disconnected operation, signed deliveries and documentation that supports your security program.
| Environments | CUI enclaves, classified networks, disconnected field systems |
|---|---|
| Programs | Supports CMMC, ITAR, NIST 800-171 and agency ATOs |
| Delivery | Signed bundles with SBOM |
| Deployment | Air-gapped or on-premises |

What AI for government and defense requires
Agencies and defense contractors work with controlled unclassified information, export-controlled technical data and, in some programs, classified material. Public AI services sit outside the authorization boundary, and many of the networks where this work happens have no internet connection at all. AI for government and defense has to run where the data already lives.
Private AI fits that constraint. Open-weight models, the retrieval index and the application run inside your enclave, on-premises system or disconnected network. Prompts, documents and outputs stay inside the boundary you already secure, assess and monitor.
CUI, NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC AI
Contractors that handle CUI under DFARS 252.204-7012 must protect it with the security requirements in NIST SP 800-171, and CMMC adds assessment of those requirements. An AI system that touches CUI becomes part of the assessed environment. Its access control, audit logging, configuration management and media protection need to meet the same requirements as everything else in scope.
We build CMMC AI deployments to sit inside your existing CUI enclave and inherit its controls. Users authenticate through your identity provider, every request is logged to your SIEM, and software arrives through your change process. We provide architecture and control documentation your team can use in its system security plan. Your assessor decides whether the controls are met.
ITAR and export-controlled technical data
ITAR limits who may access defense technical data, generally restricting it to U.S. persons unless an export authorization covers others. A public AI service gives you little control over where data is processed or who can reach it. A private deployment keeps technical data on systems where you already enforce those access rules. Your export compliance office determines what each use case requires.
Workflows and what to pilot first
A good first pilot is a document assistant over a well-defined, already authorized collection, such as a program's policy library or a maintenance manual set. Avoid starting with uses that inform targeting, eligibility or other decisions about people. Those need far more evaluation, oversight and policy review.
- Document assistants that search and summarize policies, regulations, technical manuals and contract files inside the boundary.
- Proposal support that drafts sections and compliance matrices from your past performance library.
- Maintenance knowledge search over technical orders and manuals for maintainers in the field.
- Analyst tools for summaries and entity extraction across large report sets.
How LLM.co builds for controlled environments
Our custom AI development happens in a mirrored environment with no controlled data. Models, software and updates are delivered as signed bundles with an SBOM and checksums through your transfer process. The system needs no outbound connection to operate. Cleared staff are available on some engagements where the work requires it. You own the code, prompts, evaluation sets and weights.
How it works
Four steps, each one reviewed.
01
Classify data
Confirm the data categories and the environment each use case lives in.
02
Build outside
Develop and test in a mirrored environment with no controlled data.
03
Deliver signed
Bundles with SBOM and checksums through your transfer process.
04
Support the package
Architecture and control documentation for your assessors.
Questions
Common questions.
Can the AI run completely disconnected?
Yes. Models, software and updates are delivered as signed bundles with an SBOM and checksums, and the system needs no outbound connection to operate. Updates move through your existing transfer and change process, so nothing reaches into the network from outside.
Is your AI CMMC certified?
CMMC certification applies to an organization's environment, and a single application does not receive it. We build CMMC AI deployments to sit inside your assessed CUI enclave, inherit its controls and produce the logs and documentation your assessor will ask for. The assessment outcome rests with your assessor.
Can AI be used with CUI?
It can, when the system runs inside an environment that meets the NIST SP 800-171 requirements for the CUI involved. A private deployment inside your enclave keeps CUI within that boundary. Sending CUI to a public AI service outside your authorized environment raises serious DFARS concerns.
How do you handle ITAR technical data?
The system runs on infrastructure where you already enforce ITAR access rules, and our engineers build and test without access to controlled data. Your export compliance office decides what each use case requires, including any limits on who may operate or maintain the system.
Do you handle classified data?
We build so that our engineers do not need access to controlled or classified data. Development and testing happen in a mirrored environment with synthetic or public data. For engagements that require it, cleared staff are available on some projects.
Can you support an agency ATO?
Yes. We provide architecture diagrams, data flow descriptions, control implementation details, an SBOM and evaluation results that your security team can use in the authorization package. The authorizing official and your ISSM make the authorization decision.
What is a good first AI project for government and defense teams?
A document assistant over an already authorized collection, such as a policy library, technical manuals or a past performance library. These are high-volume, easy to evaluate and keep a person in control. Avoid first projects that inform decisions about individuals or operations.
