Deployment

Exercise the source-to-search chain inside a disconnected boundary.

Exercise the source-to-search chain inside a disconnected boundary.

Signed local components run the full chain, from import through processing to search, inside a network boundary you establish and verify yourself.

Audience

Teams evaluating NERVE where outbound network access is restricted or prohibited.

Source families

Files and archives, Documents and office content, Device and forensic packages

The workflow

Source to searchable, step by step.

Source to searchable, step by step.

01

Input

Signed local components, approved material to import, and a locally deployed CORTEX instance to query from.

02

Acquisition and preservation

Material is imported from local media. Originals are retained locally, hashed locally, and never leave the boundary.

03

Transformation

Local services decode, parse, normalise and index. The same canonical families and the same envelope apply as in a connected deployment.

04

Discovery and retrieval

Queries run from the locally deployed CORTEX through the same service contracts, so the behaviour you evaluate locally is the behaviour you get elsewhere.

05

Governance

Offline mode blocks external connector and provider operations before transport is attempted, rather than relying on a failed connection to enforce the rule.

When it goes wrong

Failure is reported, not absorbed.

Failure is reported, not absorbed.

Failure variant

A connector configured for an external provider is invoked. The operation is blocked at the policy boundary and reported, with no outbound attempt made.

What this does not claim

Offline mode is a product control. It is not by itself an air gap: network isolation is a property of your environment and must be established and verified independently.

Evaluation measures

Measure these on your own material.

Measure these on your own material.

Bring an approved sample and we will plan the run around these measures. The numbers belong to your environment, so they are established with you rather than quoted in advance.

Local operation across the full chain

Restart behaviour with no external dependency

Fresh restore from local backup

Independently established network isolation

Source-to-search time on local hardware

An evaluation runs NERVE against a representative sample of your own sources, so you can measure acquisition, normalisation and retrieval behaviour on material you already understand.
