# Self-Hosted Overview

> Deploy Verilock Identity on your own infrastructure with full data sovereignty

## Why Self-Host?

Verilock Identity Self-Hosted gives you full control over your KYC/AML compliance infrastructure. Your data never leaves your servers.

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Data Sovereignty" icon="shield-check">
    All verification data, documents, and PII stay on your infrastructure. No data transmitted to third parties.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Air-Gapped Deployments" icon="lock">
    Deploy behind your firewall. Only license heartbeats require outbound connectivity (with offline grace period).
  </Card>

  <Card title="Custom Compliance" icon="scale-balanced">
    Meet specific regulatory requirements (GDPR, CCPA, data residency) by controlling where data is stored and processed.
