Keep sensitive work close.
Client files, records and internal knowledge stay on hardware you own, inside your own walls.
Custodia is a Swiss company building Sentinel: local AI on hardware you own, for organisations whose most valuable work shouldn’t leave the building.
I. What we make
An AI appliance that runs language models and document search on your own premises. Your team reaches it through your network; what connects to the outside world is a decision you make with us, not a default.
II. How we work
Custodia began in data privacy and AI governance. Sentinel is what that work taught us to build.
Client files, records and internal knowledge stay on hardware you own, inside your own walls.
Sentinel’s models run on the appliance itself, not a cloud AI service. Prompts and documents never reach an AI provider, and it keeps working offline once set up.
Our first application came from a working clinical practice. We start from real workflows, not from a model looking for a use.
III. About
Custodia Privacy Consulting SAGL is based in Switzerland. We design, configure and support Sentinel appliances, and work directly with each organisation that runs one.
Co-founders
Federico has spent his career building AI governance and data privacy products. He co-founded Custodia to make private, local AI practical for organisations that can’t send their most sensitive work to someone else’s servers.
Tom works across the pharmaceutical, cultural and technology sectors. He founded Brick42, a Swiss supplier of active pharmaceutical ingredients, and leads leadership workshops on emotional intelligence and critical thinking.
