Sovereign software for Switzerland's most consequential decisions.

Ithildin is the Swiss sovereign data & AI platform — the Swiss alternative to Palantir. Built in Bern, Switzerland, its software runs on the customer's own infrastructure: on-premise by default, air-gapped on-premise supported. Applied work on customer data runs locally, and in sovereign mode nothing leaves the deployment; in Max Brain mode, knowledge questions that contain no customer data go to named external model vendors. For sovereign deployments this keeps customer data under Swiss jurisdiction, with no US-domiciled subprocessors — a stated commitment, not a claim of immunity from legal process. Where Palantir's model typically centralises an organisation's data into a vendor-operated platform, Ithildin runs the same class of capabilities entirely on the customer's own infrastructure — designed for total data sovereignty rather than central aggregation.
What is Ithildin?
Ithildin is a Swiss company that builds sovereign software: an integrated data, AI and decision platform that runs on the customer's own hardware, so their data never leaves their control. It provides the capabilities of a platform like Palantir — an ontology/graph for link analysis, AI over live data, and edge sensing — but inverted for total data sovereignty and hosted under Swiss jurisdiction.
How is Ithildin different from Palantir?
Palantir's model typically centralises an organisation's data into a vendor-operated platform, commonly cloud-hosted. Ithildin runs the same class of capabilities — a decision-grade ontology, AI on live data, and edge sensing — entirely on the customer's own infrastructure, so no raw data leaves it. Ithildin is Swiss-jurisdiction and privacy-first, designed for total data sovereignty rather than central aggregation.
Why choose a Swiss provider for data sovereignty?
Switzerland has a constitutional right to privacy (Article 13), is outside the Five/Nine/Fourteen Eyes intelligence-sharing alliances, requires surveillance requests to clear Swiss courts, and its revised data-protection law (nDSG, 2023) is recognised as EU-adequate. This gives GDPR-grade protection under Swiss-grade jurisdiction. Ithildin reduces risk and keeps data under Swiss law — it does not claim immunity from all legal process.
Can a business run AI on its own data without sending it to OpenAI or Google?
Yes — in Ithildin's on-premise deployment model, AI inference runs as a local model on the customer's own GPU, so prompts and data are not sent to a third-party AI provider. Hosted self-serve plans are managed by Ithildin and do not run on the customer's hardware. The on-premise model is the sovereign alternative to cloud AI platforms.
Sovereign software for Switzerland's most consequential decisions.
Ithildin builds the operating system for Swiss defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure — integrated data, integrated decisions, integrated operations. Hosted in Switzerland. Built by Swiss-cleared engineers.
Three products you can buy today. The rest are licensed under contract.
Argent, SovLLM and the Coinow Swiss Ledger Vault are sold online at a published price and open the moment payment settles. The platforms built for defense, intelligence and critical infrastructure are not sold to an anonymous buyer — they start with a briefing.
Corporate tax across all 26 cantons and federal direct tax, with OECD Pillar Two, patent box and R&D modelling. Alongside it, a finance assistant reads your mail and statements and reconciles invoices to payments, so nothing financial stays invisible. Estimates are indicative, not tax advice.
Built for Swiss AGs, groups, and finance and tax teams. Read the full Argent brief →
14 days free with a card on file. Nothing is charged until you confirm, and the trial ends by itself if you do not.
The everyday work teams use Claude or ChatGPT for — drafting, analysis, answering from your own data — from a Swiss company under Swiss data-protection law, with every prompt logged and yours. On the hosted plans your prompts transit our managed infrastructure; deployed on your own hardware or an air-gapped network, nothing leaves your perimeter.
14 days free with a card on file. Nothing is charged until you confirm.
A personal non-custodial vault: a CHF-denominated ledger of what you hold and what it did, with statements your accountant can work from. Ithildin never holds the funds — only the record.

Vanguard, Core, Alpine, Aegis and Clearwater are deployed on your own infrastructure under a licence agreement, with the clearance, hosting and audit terms written into it. They are not sold online — that is a deliberate limit, not a missing button.
Fifteen platforms.
One sovereign operating system.
Ithildin is built and deployed as a single integrated stack. Each platform is independently licensable; together, they form the substrate for Switzerland's most consequential operations.
Plan operational apps
on your ontology.
Ithildin Canvas is the structured application planner for your ontology. Lay out data streams, AI agents, and visualization widgets as typed blocks in a shared plan, governed by the platform's RBAC and classification semantics. Wiring blocks to live ontology data is on the roadmap.
Visual component palette. Ontology queries, Enigma agents, KPI cards, charts, maps, and data tables — drag into position. No code required.
Compose multi-page app plans — navigation, layouts, and role-based visibility, documented block by block.
Plans are shared read-only within your tenant and inherit the ontology's RBAC, classification, and audit semantics. Deployment as executable applications is on the roadmap.
Data is not the answer.
The Ontology is.
Most organizations drown in data lakes. Spreadsheets, dashboards, reports — viewed, then ignored. The gap between insight and action is filled by people manually copying numbers between systems.
The Ithildin Ontology eliminates that gap. It maps every data source — command-and-control systems, sensor feeds, intelligence reports, logistics, financial transactions — to the real-world objects they represent. A tank. A unit. A shipment. A suspect. And to the actions those objects support. Deploy. Transfer. Escalate. Approve. Decisions stop being PDFs. They become operations.
Sovereignty is no longer a preference.
It is a procurement requirement.
European data is increasingly subject to extraterritorial claims. Ithildin is built so that who can compel access to yours is a question of Swiss law and your own infrastructure.
i. Sovereignty
Hosted on Swiss-jurisdiction infrastructure or on customer premises — structurally outside US CLOUD Act and FISA 702 reach. A stated commitment, not a claim of immunity from legal process.
ii. Neutrality
No foreign parent company. No foreign board oversight.
iii. Compliance
Native support for INTERN, VERTRAULICH, GEHEIM. ISO 27001 and IEC 62443 roadmap. FINMA-aligned for the financial sector.
Engagements are confidential by default — Ithildin does not name customers or partners.
Briefings are by introduction.
We work with a small number of operators at a time. Reach out via procurement (armasuisse), through an existing advisor, or directly.
