Architecture & deployment

Built to run inside your boundary.

Two views of one platform: the capability stack and the deployment topology. Identity, records, AI inference, and audit all stay inside your security boundary.

The capability stack

Five layers. One platform.

Read top to bottom, the five layers trace a record’s path: captured at the top, held in the vault, enriched by AI, routed through workflow where a process applies, and reached through the access layer. Identity, audit, and compliance aren’t a sixth layer; they wrap all five.

What each layer does.

Capture layer

Connectors · Records API · ETL

Records arrive from the systems agencies already run: prebuilt connectors for M365, Google Workspace, ServiceNow, Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, file shares, email, SMS, and legacy databases, plus the Records API and an ETL lane for bulk migrations. Each record is normalized, hashed, and handed to the vault with its provenance intact.

See Integrations & capture

Records vault

Single-tenant store · Lifecycle · Holds

A single-tenant store built for federal records. Every record carries a NARA-aligned metadata profile with room for agency-specific fields. Lifecycle services run retention schedules, legal holds, declassification queues, and disposition. The vault is the platform’s source of truth: the substrate every other layer reads from.

AI orchestration

Prompt Runner · Model-agnostic

Prompt Runner executes AI operations across the vault at scale. Predefined prompts run continuously against new records or on demand against historical sets. The layer is model-agnostic: it routes inference to whichever model fits the workload and the classification level.

See AI in Feith

Workflow engine

Low-code · Routing · SLA

A low-code engine that drives any agency process. Workflows trigger on capture events, AI outputs, schedule changes, or user actions. Routing, approvals, escalation chains, and SLA enforcement are all configured visually, with no code deployments.

See Workflow & automation

Access layer

Apps · APIs · MCP · Portals

How users and systems reach records: the Feith applications (RMA iQ, FOIA Workbench, Record Insight, Case Manager), public-facing portals, the Records API, and the Feith MCP server. Every path enforces the same role and clearance checks.

Deployment topology

The physical view, generalized.

Where the logical stack runs in real infrastructure. This is the reference deployment: the same topology runs in commercial cloud, agency cloud, and on-premises datacenters. Component selection follows your standards.

Edge External services, outside the security boundary
Internet
DNS
Load balancer
Identity provider
Secure remote access
Cloud or datacenter container Your cloud subscription or on-prem datacenter
Single-tenant private subnet Inside the boundary

Application server L2–L4 platform logic
Full-text search server Index over the vault
Storage layer Inside the container, outside the subnet
Relational database
Object storage
Shared file system
Mail service Outbound notification routing, inside the container

Component selection follows your standards. On AWS GovCloud: DNS via Route 53, load balancing via ELB, RDBMS via RDS, object store via S3, shared file system via EFS. On Azure Government, the native equivalents. On-premises, your existing standards: F5, Oracle, NetApp, and the rest. The topology is identical across all three; only the underlying components differ.

Single-tenant architecture

Your records. Your subnet.

Every Feith deployment is single-tenant. Your records live in your own subnet, inside your boundary, in infrastructure that exists only to serve your mission — never co-mingled with another agency or tenant.

  • Infrastructure-level isolation
  • Dedicated database, dedicated storage

  • Maintenance on your schedule

Compute, workflow execution, and AI inference all stay in the same single-tenant envelope. Your data, processing, and metadata never co-mingle with anyone else’s, including Feith’s other customers.

Deployment options

Deploy where the work lives.

Three options, equal capability. The choice is about where the records sit and who manages the infrastructure underneath.

On-premises

Where it runs
Your datacenter, your hardware
Who manages what
You manage the infrastructure. Feith supports the platform with resources on-site.
Environments
NIPR · SIPR · JWICS
Time to deploy
Timeline driven by your accreditation process
HA / DR
Your HA and DR stack, to your RPO and RTO

The full platform inside your datacenter, behind your firewall, wired into your identity, monitoring, and backup. Required for many classified deployments. Full agency control of every layer of infrastructure.

Agency cloud

Where it runs
Your cloud subscription (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, AWS TS C2S, others)
Who manages what
You manage the cloud account and identity. Feith manages the platform layer.
Environments

Time to deploy
Faster than on-prem — your boundary, Feith’s platform
HA / DR
High availability and disaster recovery configured to your requirements

A single-tenant deployment inside the agency’s own cloud subscription, running in compute you already pay for and accredit, with native integration to your cloud identity, key management, and logging.

Feith FedRAMP cloud

Where it runs
Feith’s FedRAMP Moderate authorized cloud
Who manages what
Feith manages infrastructure and platform. You manage records, users, and workflows.

Time to deploy
The fastest path — weeks, not months
HA / DR
High availability and disaster recovery managed by Feith

The fastest path for civilian agencies with FedRAMP Moderate requirements. Feith carries the authorization and the operational burden, so your team focuses on records and workflow, not infrastructure.

All three run the same code, the same APIs, and the same UI. Capability is identical across environments; the choice is about where your records live, not what the platform can do.

Operating environments

Seven environments. One platform.

Feith is in production across the full federal classification spectrum. Each environment maps to one or more deployment options.

Availability reflects current deployments. Additional environments are supported on request wherever an accreditation path exists.

Identity & access

Identity runs through every layer.

The same provider authenticates and authorizes a connector capture, a vault read, an AI inference, a workflow approval, and a Records API call — one identity, one audit trail, end to end.

Federation

SAML 2.0OIDC

SAML 2.0 and OIDC throughout. Single sign-on with your existing identity provider. Service accounts authenticate through the same federation patterns as interactive users.

Directory integration

Active DirectoryEntra IDLDAP

Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, and LDAP. Group membership drives role assignment; provisioning and deprovisioning flow through the directory, so a user’s access changes the moment their directory record does. No separate Feith user store to keep in sync.

Federal PKI

PIVCAC

PIV and CAC credentials. Smart-card authentication for interactive sessions.

Multi-factor and cryptography

MFAFIPS 140-2/3TLS 1.3AES-256

MFA supported across user and administrative access. FIPS 140-2 and 140-3 validated cryptographic modules throughout. TLS 1.3 in transit, AES-256 at rest. Key management integrates with your KMS or HSM where required.

Access control and audit

RBAC + ABACTamper-evident logSIEM forwarding

Role-based access control with attribute extensions for clearance level, compartment, and need-to-know. Every access, action, AI inference, and administrative change writes to a tamper-evident audit log that streams to your SIEM in real time.

AI model deployment

Any model. Your boundary.

The platform is model-agnostic. The orchestration layer routes inference to the model that fits the workload and the classification level. Records never leave the boundary, and they never train external models.

Air-gapped

The model comes to the records, not the other way around. Swap models in orchestration config; no re-architecture.

Unclassified

For unclassified workloads, the platform connects to cloud-hosted models from major providers. Inference requests carry your records only as transient context, configured for zero retention — no training, no logging, no retention beyond the call.

Classified · air-gapped

For classified and air-gapped workloads, models run entirely inside the accredited boundary — hosted model services inside the enclave, like Azure OpenAI in Azure Government Top Secret, or open-weight models on-premises — with no external connectivity required.

Hybrid

Hybrid deployments route each workload to the right model by classification, sensitivity, and performance. As models improve, you swap them in orchestration, with no re-architecting workflows or applications.
