The cloud needs a new standard for trust.

The cloud era has transformed how organizations operate — yet for businesses in regulated industries, cloud adoption has always carried an unresolved tension: to benefit from cloud services, you must implicitly trust that the infrastructure will not access your most sensitive data.

Highrise Vault resolves this dilemma

Built on confidential computing — a hardware-level protection layer available in the latest Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD processors — Vault ensures your data remains encrypted not just at rest and in transit, but critically, while it is being actively processed.

This protection extends even to Highrise engineers, cloud administrators, and the underlying infrastructure.

The Result

A managed cloud platform where privacy and data sovereignty aremathematically enforced, not organizationally promised.

Your data remains yours, always.

Private by architecture

Highrise Vault is a managed cloud platform that delivers the operational simplicity of public cloud with the data sovereignty guarantees of on-premises infrastructure — without compromise. Vault is built on three reinforcing layers of protection that together create an environment where sensitive workloads run in the cloud while remaining completely private — even from Highrise itself.

01
Hardware-Enforced Isolation

Workloads run inside Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), isolated at the hardware level from the rest of the system. Not the hypervisor, not the cloud platform, nor a privileged administrator can access protected workloads.

02
Cryptographically Verifiable Trust

Before any data is shared with a service, customers can independently verify the exactsoftware environment they are trusting through Remote Attestation — a cryptographic proof signed by the processor manufacturer.

03
Hardware-Enforced Isolation

Vault's architecture is designed so that Highrise's operational staff cannot access your data or encryption keys in clear text by design —enforced by hardware. This is not a contractual promise. It’s a technical guarantee.

How confidential computing works

At the heart of Highrise Vault is confidential computing — a hardware capability built into modern processors that create Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs).

A TEE is an isolated, encrypted region of a processor where code and data are completely protected, even from the operating system, hypervisor, and cloud platform.
Isolated Execution

Workloads running inside a TEE are sealed from all other processes onthe same physical machine. Even a fully compromised operating systemor hypervisor cannot read or modify data inside a TEE. Each workload isits own trust domain.

Memory Encryption

All data inside a TEE is encrypted in RAM at all times. Hardware-level encryption keys are generated within the processor and never leave it. Even physical access to server RAM reveals only ciphertext — never your data.

Remote Attestation

Before sharing sensitive data with a service, customers can request a cryptographically signed proof — called an attestation report — confirming that the TEE is running on genuine, certified hardware and that the software inside is exactly what was expected.

How Highrise Vault is built

Control Plane

Vault's portal and API allow customers to create, configure, and manage their services. Critically, the control plane holds no secrets and cannot independently access managed services. It is designed to be untrusted by default — all sensitive operations require coordination with the customer's Vault Agent.

Vault Agent

The Vault Agent is a lightweight application installed on the customer's machine. It acts as the customer's personal root of trust: performing attestation of Vault components, integrating with the customer's private keys, and signing service configurations. Nothing sensitive can happen without its active participation.

Vault Trust Center

All managed services run inside Confidential Virtual Machines — hardware-isolated execution environments that host the full OS and application stack. CVMs are attested attested by the Trust Center before receiving any keys or certificates. All CVM data is stored on encrypted partitions; the decryption key is derived only after successful attestation.

Confidential Virtual Machines (CVMS)

All managed services run inside Confidential Virtual Machines — hardware-isolated execution environments that host the full OS and application stack. CVMs are attested attested by the Trust Center before receiving any keys or certificates. All CVM data is stored on encrypted partitions; the decryption key is derived only after successful attestation.

Defense in Depth

Vault implements a defense-in-depth security model. Hardware-based confidential computing provides the foundational protection layer. On top of this, Vault applies network isolation, access controls, audit logging, and organizational security practices. Even if perimeter controls are bypassed, the hardware layer remains intact.

Attestation-First Architecture

Every Vault component must prove its integrity before being trusted with keys or data. This transitive attestation model means trust is established from hardware upward — not assumed from organizational promises downward.

Customer-Controlled Keys

Encryption keys are derived from the customer's own root of trust, managed by the customer's Vault Agent with integration to the KMS/HSM system of the customer. Highrise cannot derive or access these keys.
