About
Private AI, built and supported by its architect.
IronGap Technologies makes Vault-OS, a private AI workspace that runs on hardware you own. This page covers who we are, how the licence works, and what the machine needs.
M. Taha Halakooei
Founder, CEO and chief architect
IronGap Technologies is an independent, founder-led company based in Istanbul. I design, build and maintain Vault-OS end to end: the architecture, the security engineering and the product. It is built for organisations that cannot send confidential data to a third-party cloud, and that value working directly with the team that built the system.
Every engagement starts the same way: a 30-day pilot on your own documents, with weekly check-ins and a full refund if the agreed criteria are not met.
Licensed to one machine, checked offline.
Vault-OS is proprietary software owned by IronGap Technologies. A licence is a signed file bound to one machine, and Vault-OS verifies it without contacting anyone.
Bound to the hardware
At activation the licence is sealed to the machine's TPM 2.0, system UUID and network MAC. On any other machine, or with the TPM missing, Vault-OS refuses to start.
Only IronGap can issue one
Licences are signed with an ECDSA key that never leaves IronGap. Every install can read a licence addressed to it; none can forge one.
Protected software
The installer can be downloaded freely for evaluation. Copying, redistributing or reverse-engineering the licensed software is not permitted.

What the machine needs.
Vault-OS ships for Windows today; Linux and macOS are in development. These are the requirements for the Windows build.
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows Server 2019+ or Windows 11 Pro, x64 |
| Security | TPM 2.0 enabled in firmware. Administrator rights required. |
| GPU | NVIDIA, 8 GB VRAM minimum; 24 GB+ for anything past a 7B model |
| Memory | 32 GB RAM minimum, 64 GB recommended |
| Disk | 60 GB free, plus space for your models and documents |
| Network | None required, ever. LAN only, so clients can reach it. |
| Licence | Required. Hardware-bound, issued by IronGap. |
A GPU is not needed to install and evaluate Vault-OS. It runs on the CPU, slowly, which is enough to prove the boot chain, the licence and the enclave behave as described. It is needed for anything you put in front of users. For larger deployments, size the machine with the Enterprise calculator or on the pilot scoping call.
