# On-Premise Hosting

For organizations with rigorous demands regarding data sovereignty and the security of their internal infrastructure, on-premise hosting of the zkPass Service is the ideal solution. This hosting model places the zkPass Service directly within your organization's data centers. By doing so, it ensures that your data remains entirely within your control and does not traverse external networks. This aspect is particularly crucial for organizations that handle highly sensitive information or are subject to stringent data protection regulations.

Unlike cloud-based options, on-premise hosting of zkPass does not inherently require the service to run within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). This flexibility allows for a more customized security approach, where you can decide the best way to secure the service based on your infrastructure and security policies. However, it also means that ensuring the highest security standards rests largely on your organization’s ability to implement and maintain robust security measures within your own IT environment.

In summary, on-premise hosting of the zkPass Service is the premium choice for organizations that prioritize absolute control over their data and have the capability to manage high-level security requirements internally. This option provides a bespoke solution that aligns perfectly with stringent internal policies and regulatory needs, ensuring data remains secure and under your organization’s direct oversight.
