Both models are built to keep facility data out of publicly accessible AI tools and consumer AI platforms. Which one fits depends on your facility's size, IT capacity, and security posture, and the assessment helps confirm which is the right starting point.
The system operates inside your environment. Under the Closed Local model, audio, transcripts, policies, and generated records are not transmitted to Nextus Titan infrastructure for processing.
Best fit: larger county jails and state correctional facilities, or any environment where maximum data locality is a hard requirement.
Audio, transcripts, policies, and generated records are processed on Nextus Titan-controlled secure infrastructure, accessed through a dedicated encrypted connection with facility-specific data separation.
Best fit: small and mid-sized county jails, or any facility that wants faster deployment and easier long-term scaling without managing hardware on site.
| Factor | Closed Local Deployment | Secure Private Deployment |
|---|---|---|
| Where data lives | On hardware physically stationed at your facility | On Nextus Titan-controlled secure infrastructure, with facility-specific data separation |
| On-site hardware required | Yes | No |
| Dedicated IT staff needed on-site | Helpful, not always required | Not required |
| Typical setup time | Longer. Depends on site readiness and installation | Faster. No on-site hardware installation required |
| Future upgrades and redundancy | Constrained by what the facility's site can physically support | More flexible, since upgrades happen on Nextus Titan-controlled infrastructure |
| Best suited for | Larger facilities, or facilities requiring maximum data locality | Small to mid-sized facilities, or facilities without dedicated IT resources |
Neither model is objectively "better." The right choice depends on your facility's size, IT capacity, and security requirements. The Free AI Readiness Assessment is designed to help confirm which deployment model fits before any formal proposal is made. There is no requirement to know the answer before you start. Final deployment terms are confirmed in writing before implementation.
Under 25 minutes. No sensitive facility information required.
Deployment model is confirmed during the assessment and follow-up conversation.
