The Architecture

Five Layers between
your data and your AI.

Each Layer is designed, deployed, and operated by ism3. Foundation up — tenancy at the bottom, governance at the top. Layer 3 is published; the rest are in development through Q3 2026.

Foundation

Q3 2026

Tenancy, identity, isolation, infrastructure primitives. The AI runs in the client's cloud, on the client's terms, with no shared boundary to ours. Whitepaper Q3 2026.

Orchestration

Q3 2026

Routing, model selection, prompt management. Coordinates the right model and the right context for the right query. Whitepaper Q3 2026.

Data + Retrieval

Live

Tenant-isolated retrieval architecture. Chunk-level access controls, citation-traceable answers, compliance-aware RAG. Whitepaper available.

Read the whitepaper

Application

Q3 2026

User-facing surfaces and integrations. Concierge widgets, intake interfaces, and operator consoles tuned for regulated workflows. Whitepaper Q3 2026.

Governance

Q3 2026

Audit trails, citation provenance, attribution. Every decision the AI makes is traceable, accountable, and reviewable end-to-end. Whitepaper Q3 2026.

Why ism3

Operated, not delivered.

01

Built and operated end-to-end

Architecture, deployment, and ongoing operation — under one roof. Not a delivered codebase. Managed infrastructure.

02

Deployed in your tenancy

On your private cloud. Your AWS account. Your data plane. Client data never crosses ism3's environment.

03

Audited Layer by Layer

Every decision the AI makes is traceable through the Governance Layer. Citation provenance, attribution, immutable trails.

04

Regulated experience, not aspiration

Built for healthcare, legal, and financial services from day one. Compliance is the baseline — not the upsell.

FAQ

Common questions

ism3 designs and operates regulated AI infrastructure for enterprise clients. We build custom retrieval and orchestration systems on each client's private cloud, with end-to-end audit trails. Each deployment is layered across five distinct architecture layers: Foundation, Orchestration, Data + Retrieval, Application, and Governance.

Mid-market enterprises in regulated industries — primarily healthcare, legal services, and financial services — where AI handles sensitive data and where wrong answers carry real liability.

In your tenancy. ism3's architecture deploys in your private cloud (typically AWS Bedrock under your account). Your client data, query logs, and retrieval indices never cross ism3's environment.

No. ism3 uses major foundation-model APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock) under your cloud account. We do not train, fine-tune, or host models — and your data never leaves your tenancy for any purpose.

Typical RAG implementations focus on Layer 3 (Data + Retrieval) only. ism3 builds and operates all five layers together — from tenant isolation at Layer 1 to citation-provenance audit at Layer 5. The result is regulation-ready, not retrofit-compliant.

BigCo platforms are general-purpose. ism3 is purpose-built for regulated industries where the architecture must be auditable layer-by-layer and where the client retains full data tenancy. The model is closer to managed infrastructure than to platform licensing.
