Your Data Stays
on Your Property.
The Neighborhood Smart Vault was designed from the foundation up so that resident, tenant, and operator data never leaves the building boundary — even for AI inference, security analytics, or smart home automation.
The Data Governance Model
Every architectural decision in the NSV is shaped by these five non-negotiables.
Locality by Default
All Vault AI inference, voice processing, camera analytics, and smart-home automation execute on the local GPU cluster inside the vault. There is no fallback to a cloud provider, no third-party API, and no telemetry routed outside the property.
Resident-Held Keys
Each resident or tenant generates and holds their own encryption keys for personal data and AI session histories. NSV operations staff never have access to the cleartext content of any tenant workload.
Encrypted Everywhere
AES-256 at rest on every storage volume. TLS 1.3 for every internal connection between vault subsystems. Disk-level full encryption with hardware-backed keys means a stolen drive contains nothing intelligible.
Cryptographic Tenant Isolation
In multi-family and commercial buildings, each tenant runs in a hardware-isolated, key-separated compute container. Tenants cannot see each other's traffic, storage, or AI sessions — enforced at the hypervisor, network, and storage layers.
Operator Telemetry Only
NSV operations staff see system-health telemetry — fluid temperature, power draw, network status, hardware faults — and nothing else. Tenant data, AI prompts, voice recordings, and camera feeds are out of scope for our access logs by design.
Tamper-Evident Logging
Every vault keeps a hash-chained audit log of administrative actions, key operations, and access events. Logs are retained on the local cluster and can be exported to the building owner at any time.
How Neighbors Stay Strangers — Cryptographically.
In an apartment building or commercial complex, every tenant shares the same vault hardware. Here is how their data does not.
Hardware Isolation
Each tenant workload runs inside a dedicated virtual GPU partition with its own memory, compute slice, and PCIe channel. Hardware-enforced — not software-enforced.
Network Segmentation
Each tenant lives on its own VLAN. Inter-tenant traffic is blocked at the switch fabric. There is no shared broadcast domain inside the vault.
Per-Tenant Encryption
Storage is encrypted with keys derived from each tenant's enrollment. Even with raw disk access, one tenant's volumes are unreadable to anyone else — including NSV.
Built to the Standards Your Auditors Already Know.
NSV's reference architecture is aligned with the frameworks regulated tenants are required to operate under.
GDPR & CCPA Aligned
Resident data residency, right-to-erasure tooling, and consent-based processing are built into the Vault AI platform.
ISO 27001 / SOC 2 Roadmap
The reference architecture is designed against ISO 27001 Annex A controls and SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria. Formal certification is on the roadmap as deployments scale.
HIPAA-Ready Posture
For commercial tenants in healthcare, the per-tenant isolation, encrypted storage, and audit logging support a HIPAA-compliant deployment with appropriate Business Associate Agreements in place.
