Deployment & Control | Terra Security

Deployment & ControlFlexible where it counts, fixed where it matters. Most platforms make you choose between control and capability. Terra runs the same way, with the same guarantees, no matter who's holding the keys.

LabelTrusted by enterprise-grade security teams and providers

LabelControl is due diligence, not a feature request.Most teams evaluate a pentesting platform on one axis: what does it find? Security-savvy buyers evaluate a second axis just as closely: who's reasoning about your attack surface, whose infrastructure your source code and findings move through, and who validates a result before it becomes a report. If you're a regulated enterprise, that's not a bonus question. It's the same due-diligence lens you apply to every other vendor in your stack — and it's the lens Terra was built to pass.

LabelThree ways to run Terra. One architecture underneath.

Multi-Tenant SaaS

The default model for most customers and every POV. Fastest path to production, fully managed by Terra.

Bring Your Own Cloud

A dedicated, single-tenant instance inside a cloud account you provision and control — AWS, Azure, or GCP. More isolation than shared SaaS, without the operational lift of a full on-premises install.

On-Premises / Air-Gapped

Runs on your hardware, no internet dependency. The basis for FedRAMP High support and the highest-isolation regulated environments.

Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI)Connect your own LLM or model endpoint. What doesn't change: Terra's harness. The guardrails, tool permissions, and policy enforcement that constrain what any agent can do sit outside the model itself — swapping the model doesn't touch that layer.

CostIf you already have an enterprise agreement with a model provider, BYOAI routes spend through that existing agreement instead of a new one.

GovernanceThe NIST AI Risk Management Framework asks organizations to govern the AI components in their stack, not just the systems those components touch.

Concentration RiskSubstitutable models mean you're not exposed to a single provider's outage, policy change, or contract dispute.

Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC)Connect your own LLM or model endpoint. Run Terra Platform™ inside a dedicated, single-tenant cloud environment that you provision and control — your cloud of choice, AWS, Azure, or GCP — rather than Terra's shared multi-tenant infrastructure. Source code analysis, agent orchestration, and finding validation all run inside your own boundary.

Data ResidencyFor teams whose requirements rule out shared infrastructure outright, this is a defined middle tier between SaaS and full on-premises.

Third-Party RiskRunning Terra inside infrastructure you already own makes compliance to the 2023 Interagency Guidance on Third-Party Relationships easier to demonstrate.

Existing Cloud ControlsExisting IAM policies, network controls, and security groups apply to the Terra instance the same way they apply to everything else in your account.

LabelHuman-level trust, machine speed.Audit-ready reports, signed by certified pentesters, accepted by the highest compliance standards.

FAQCommon questions about Terra deployment and control options

We already have an enterprise AI agreement we're required to use. Can we use that with Terra?

Yes. BYOAI connects directly to that endpoint across every deployment tier, including standard SaaS, and reduces the total cost of your Terra engagement.

Can we use Terra if our data can't leave our own cloud environment?

Yes. BYOC deploys Terra as a single-tenant instance inside your AWS, Azure, or GCP account. Analysis, orchestration, and validation all run inside your boundary.

Are BYOAI and BYOC only available to on-premises or top-tier customers?

No. BYOAI works across every tier. BYOC is its own tier, available without a full on-premises engagement.

LabelSame validation. Configured to your architecture.Talk to your account team about configuring BYOAI or BYOC for an upcoming engagement, or book a demo to see Terra Platform™ first.
