For financial advisors, RIAs & CPA firms
Put AI to work in your practice. Keep every client record under your control.
Airgapped guides you to private AI built on FinBlade, the enterprise AI platform from our partner ICS Nett. It is deployed on-premises (air-gapped capable), in an isolated private cloud, or hybrid. Your clients' financial data is never sent to public AI services and never used to train a model. The efficiency, without the exposure.
The bind every practice is in
You want what AI can do. You can't risk what it touches.
The tools are useful. The catch is that the easy ones run on someone else's servers, and a client's financial life is the one thing you can't paste into a public chatbot.
The work is real
Meeting prep, client letters, workpaper summaries, onboarding packets, records lookups. Hours a week your team would gladly hand off.
The exposure is real
Consumer AI sends what you type to outside servers. With client financial data covered by the FTC Safeguards Rule and SEC and FINRA expectations, that is a line you cannot cross.
Shadow AI is already here
If staff don't have a safe tool, some will quietly use an unsafe one. The risk isn't hypothetical, it's already in the building.
Why Airgapped
A local advisor on your side. A partner built for federal-grade security.
Airgapped is Thomas Summers, based in Franklin, Tennessee. He sits on your side of the table. He learns how your practice works, maps where client data flows, and recommends the right deployment path.
Airgapped partners with ICS Nett for one reason: both companies hold the same conviction. Data sovereignty and security come first, and they are not negotiable. When Thomas saw the depth of FinBlade and the size of the team behind it, the call was easy. He moved into an advisory role on the front end and let ICS Nett deliver.
ICS Nett has spent more than 20 years delivering secure, mission-critical IT for federal, state, and local government. Its team has supported the U.S. Census Bureau, the FBI, and the FAA. That same platform, built for government and enterprise work, is now available to a practice of any size.
Client work listed is ICS Nett's. Airgapped is an independent advisory firm and ICS Nett's technology partner.

Thomas maps your actual workflows: what eats your team's time, what touches client data, and what is safe to automate. If it fits, he scopes the engagement with the ICS Nett team.
Your platform is deployed
The ICS Nett team deploys FinBlade on the path you choose: on-premises, private cloud, or hybrid. They connect your existing systems, configure permissions, and train your team. It is organized around your records and client workflows, and nothing goes to public AI.
It runs, and we stay with you
Your team uses it day to day. ICS Nett provides ongoing support. Thomas remains your advocate and single point of contact as your needs grow.
What it does, privately
Real help with the work that slows your practice down.
Every one of these runs on FinBlade, inside your environment, with nothing sent to public AI.
Meeting prep & client comms
Draft agendas, follow-ups, and letters from your own notes and templates, in your voice. Nothing goes out without a human approval.
Document & workpaper summaries
Turn long statements, agreements, and files into the parts that matter.
Scanned statement intake
OCR turns scanned statements, tax documents, and handwritten forms into structured, searchable data.
Records & knowledge search
Ask plain questions across your own documents, policies, and precedents. Answers draw only on what each user is authorized to see.
Onboarding & paperwork prep
Automate the repetitive steps around intake, transfers, and filings, with approvals where your process requires them.
Practice dashboards
Ask plain-language questions about your book and operations and get a dashboard back, without exporting data to an outside tool.
The cost of the easy path
Convenience is not worth a breach.
- Client financial data leaving your control the moment it's pasted into a consumer tool.
- No record of what staff sent where, or to whom.
- A Safeguards Rule question you find out about only after it's a problem.
- A breach notification you have to make, and a trust you can't un-break.
Built private by architecture
How your data is protected, stated plainly.
Sovereign deployment
Choose on-premises, private cloud, or hybrid. On-premises, FinBlade runs on infrastructure you own and is air-gapped capable: nothing needs to leave the building. Hybrid keeps sensitive data and models on-premises and runs elastic workloads in your private cloud.
Never sent to public AI
Your information is never sent to shared, public AI services, in any deployment.
Never used for training
Your data is never used to train any model, ours or anyone else's.
Permissioned and logged
Role-based access control limits what each person can see and do. User activity, AI queries, and system actions are logged for audit. Data is encrypted with AES-256.
Independently audited hosting
Your private cloud environment is isolated, single-tenant, and runs on independently audited infrastructure matched to your requirements. Before you sign, we put in writing exactly which audits and certifications cover your environment.
We walk through exactly how an engagement fits the data-safeguard obligations advisory and accounting practices carry, from the FTC Safeguards Rule to SEC and FINRA expectations, on a free call, where we can speak to your specific setup. We don't wave badges. We show you the real architecture and document the exact data routing in writing.
Advisor questions
The things practices ask first.
Does client data ever leave my office?
Not to public AI, in any deployment. On-premises, FinBlade runs on infrastructure you own and is air-gapped capable, so nothing needs to leave the building. Your private cloud environment is isolated, single-tenant, and runs on independently audited infrastructure matched to your requirements. Before you sign, we put in writing exactly which audits and certifications cover your environment. Either way, the exact data routing is documented in writing.
Who builds and supports this?
ICS Nett, Airgapped's technology partner. Its team deploys FinBlade, connects your existing systems, configures permissions, trains your staff, and provides ongoing support. Thomas stays your advocate and single point of contact the whole way, before and after launch, so your practice always has one person to call.
What can it actually do for an advisory or CPA practice?
Meeting prep and client communications drafted from your own notes and templates, document and workpaper summarization, OCR intake of scanned statements and forms, permission-aware search across your own records and policies, and onboarding and paperwork workflows with human approval. Every query and action is logged.
Does this make my practice compliant with the FTC Safeguards Rule?
No single tool makes a practice compliant, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling a badge. What the platform provides is architectural: client data is never disclosed to public AI services, access is limited by role, activity is logged, data is encrypted with AES-256, and the exact data routing is documented in writing so you and your compliance resource can evaluate it directly.
Which deployment is right for us?
It depends on your data rules, your IT, and how you work. On-premises runs FinBlade on infrastructure you own and is air-gapped capable, the strongest posture for client financial data. Private cloud is an isolated, single-tenant environment managed for you. Hybrid keeps sensitive data and models on-premises and runs elastic workloads in your private cloud. Thomas recommends a path on the call, and the guarantee is the same in all three.
