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, so their data never leaves their control: on-premise by default, air-gapped on-premise supported, and customer data never leaves Swiss jurisdiction — no US CLOUD Act exposure, no FISA 702, no US-domiciled subprocessors. 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.
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.
Build operational apps
on your ontology.
Ithildin Canvas is the enterprise application builder that turns your ontology into operational software. Drag data streams, AI agents, and visualization widgets into custom dashboards — deployed instantly to your tenant namespace with full RBAC and classification enforcement.
Visual component palette. Ontology queries, Enigma agents, KPI cards, charts, maps, and data tables — drag into position. No code required.
Compose multi-page applications with tab navigation, conditional layouts, and role-based visibility. Your analysts become your developers.
One-click deployment to tenant namespace. Applications inherit ontology RBAC, classification, and audit semantics automatically. Swiss-hosted.
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 the question of who can compel access to yours never has to be asked.
i. Sovereignty
No CLOUD Act exposure. No FISA 702. Hosted on Swiss-jurisdiction infrastructure or on customer premises.
ii. Neutrality
No foreign parent company. No foreign board oversight. No conflict-of-interest question marks at a Swiss procurement review.
iii. Compliance
Native support for INTERN, VERTRAULICH, GEHEIM. ISO 27001 and IEC 62443 roadmap. FINMA-aligned for the financial sector.
Engagements with Swiss federal, cantonal, and critical-infrastructure partners are confidential by default.
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.
