Self-hosting and infrastructure control
Operate Bastet within your own security and compliance boundaries.
.
Self-hosting is a core design assumption of Bastet.
Organizations are expected to operate:
- Their own relay servers
- Their own jurisdictional policies
- Their own operational procedures
Why self-host
Self-hosting allows:
- Full control over legal exposure
- Elimination of third-party service dependency
- Integration with existing security operations
Deployment models
Common deployment patterns include:
- Fully on-prem relay networks
- Hybrid on-prem / external jurisdiction chains
- Inter-agency relay federations
Operational security
Relay servers:
- Do not store message content
- Do not require user identity data
- Can be hardened using standard infrastructure security practices
Bastet is designed to integrate into existing government and enterprise security frameworks, not replace them.
