ARCHITECTURE

One platform. Three ways to run it.

The same control plane, catalogue, and agent everywhere — only the deployment boundary moves. Choose where your data sits; the platform meets you there.

SaaS

Fully managed · since 2020

Guaird cloud — portal, control plane, agent, report service
▲▼ read-only connectors
Your tenant — M365, Entra ID, data sources
  • Live in days, updates arrive continuously
  • EU-hosted, ISO-aligned operations
  • We operate the platform we sell — since 2020

Hybrid

Control with us · data with you

  • SaaS convenience with residency control

On‑Prem
