# Deployment on your own terms

> Run on-premises, hosted, or in restricted environments.
Organisations with strict compliance or regulatory requirements need flexibility in how infrastructure is deployed and operated.

## What you can do

- Deploy fully on-premises.

- Use hosted infrastructure where appropriate.

- Operate in restricted or air-gapped environments.

## How it works

Choose deployment architecture based on your security posture and operational constraints. Gateway components can run inside controlled environments or managed infrastructure.
