Private LLM Hosting & Secure Model Deployment

Open-weight models in your own cloud with zero egress. Inference comes in. Nothing goes out.

What is private LLM hosting?

Private LLM hosting runs language models inside your own cloud tenant instead of calling someone else's API. The weights are files you control. Deployed behind a zero-egress network architecture, the model can answer your business without your data ever leaving your environment, which is what makes today's strongest open-weight models, including Chinese-origin releases like Kimi K2 and GLM, usable by American enterprises: the risk lives in the deployment, not the download, and the deployment is yours to lock down. BD Emerson designs, builds, and attests these environments.

Managed private AI

Zero-egress architecture

Isolated VNets with outbound traffic denied by default, private endpoints only, firewall rules pinned to named exceptions, private DNS, and offline weight ingestion. The model cannot phone home because there is no line out, and the flow logs prove it.

Open-weight model deployment

Deployment of Llama, Kimi K2, GLM, DeepSeek, Mistral, and other open-weight families on Azure, on Databricks Mosaic AI, or on dedicated GPU infrastructure: quantization choices, serving stack, autoscaling, and version discipline handled as production engineering.

Model evaluation and selection

We benchmark candidate models on your actual tasks and score capability per dollar, because a model that is 95 percent as good at 10 percent of the inference cost is usually the right answer. The result is a defensible selection memo, not a preference.

Guardrails and monitoring

Input and output filtering, prompt injection defenses, PII redaction, rate limits, and full prompt and completion logging to your SIEM. Every consequential workflow gets evaluation and human checkpoints before autonomy.

Compliance evidence

The deployment produces its own audit pack: network diagrams, flow log attestations, access reviews, and model documentation mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and the NIST AI RMF, ready for customer security questionnaires.

Managed private AI

Patching, model updates, capacity, and cost management run as a service, with your team trained on the estate and BD Emerson as the escalation bench. Private AI without building a platform team first.

Our approach

Our approach

01

Contain first

The network is designed before the model is chosen: egress denied, endpoints private, weights ingested offline. Containment is a fact you can show a regulator, not a vendor assurance.

02

Benchmark on your tasks

Leaderboards do not run your workload. We evaluate candidates on your documents, your tickets, and your tone, and let capability per dollar make the call.

03

Prove it continuously

Flow logs, firewall analytics, and inference logging feed your SIEM from day one, so the zero-egress claim is verified every day it runs, not asserted once at go-live.

04

Stay portable

Open weights mean no vendor can deprecate your model. We keep the serving stack portable across Azure, Databricks, and bare GPU so pricing power stays with you.

Our Advantage

Why BD Emerson for private AI

Security engineers run the build

The practice that runs cloud security and compliance programs designs the network, so the containment story survives your customers' scrutiny.

Model-neutral economics

We have no stake in which model wins. Benchmarks on your tasks decide, and the double-digit cost differences between candidates usually pay for the engagement.

Evidence with the deployment

Every build ships with the audit pack: diagrams, attestations, and control mappings your risk team and your customers will ask for anyway.

We had a hard time finding the right company to partner with in support of our compliance journey. Some vendors sell the idea that they do the work, but then you end up doing everything. The ambiguity is what killed our last project. BD Emerson’s team has such great technical knowledge and understands the standard so well that they made us comfortable with moving fast. This has led to us closing major enterprise customers that were previously out of reach because of security and compliance.

Tom Watkins

CEO @ AMI AssetTrack

Lead an enterprise initiative to overhaul the organization's technology stack from ecommerce, corporate tech, and corporate security.

Supported ISO 42001 exercise and served as internal auditor.

Rubrik's privacy and compliance team began with the backbone of BD Emerson. BD Emerson supported building out the privacy program, GRC (ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC, FedRAMP), and the appsec function.

We needed a partner who could move quickly, without sacrificing precision. BD Emerson brought the expertise, structure, and speed we were looking for. Their team became an extension of ours, embedding themselves across the organization, guiding us step by step, and giving us confidence in areas we hadn’t tackled before. The internal audit they conducted was so detailed that even the external auditors called it out. Achieving ISO 27001 with zero nonconformities says everything you need to know about the quality of the partnership.
