On-Premises & Private Infrastructure
Cloud-native security tools stop at the cloud's edge. But most enterprises — and nearly every regulated one — still run business-critical systems on private infrastructure: internal applications, databases, file servers, OT and IoT devices, and employee endpoints that never touch a public IP. That footprint is where a great deal of real risk lives, and it is exactly what pure-SaaS scanners cannot see.
Offload Security closes that gap. The same platform that assesses your cloud reaches inside your network to discover internal assets, scan private applications and APIs, run vulnerability scans against internal hosts, and ingest endpoint and SIEM telemetry — and it lands all of it in the same unified dashboard as your cloud, code, and container posture.
You don't run a separate on-prem product with its own console. Internal-network findings, OpenVAS vulnerability results, and Wazuh security events are correlated alongside cloud and application posture in one place — one inventory, one risk register, one compliance view.
What the on-premises model covers
| Capability | What it gives you | Read more |
|---|---|---|
| Internal network visibility | Discovery and continuous monitoring of assets living behind the firewall — hosts, services, and internal apps that cloud tools never see. | Internal Network Visibility |
| Private infrastructure & internal URL/API scanning | Security testing of internal web apps, private APIs, and services that are only reachable inside your network. | Private Infrastructure Scanning |
| OpenVAS vulnerability scanning | Authenticated and unauthenticated vulnerability scanning of internal hosts and private environments, with results flowing into Vulnerability Management. | OpenVAS Scanning |
| Wazuh endpoint & SIEM visibility | Endpoint (agent) security data, security events, alerts, vulnerability state, file-integrity monitoring, and compliance checks — in a customized in-platform dashboard. | Wazuh Integration |
| Centralized ingestion | All of the above, plus cloud and application data, unified into one correlated source of truth and one dashboard. | Centralized Ingestion |
Why organizations need it
- Data residency and sovereignty. Regulated sectors often cannot send security telemetry to a third-party SaaS. On-prem scanning and ingestion keep sensitive data inside your boundary while still giving leadership a unified view.
- Coverage that matches reality. A posture picture that omits the internal network is, by definition, incomplete — and it's usually the part auditors and attackers care about most.
- No second silo. Running separate on-prem tools re-creates the very fragmentation you're trying to escape. Bringing internal and cloud data into one platform is what makes the picture trustworthy.
- Governance across the whole estate. Internal-asset vulnerabilities, endpoint events, and compliance checks feed the same risk register and evidence vault as everything else, so governance spans cloud and on-prem.
How it fits together
The internal scanning engines and Wazuh run where your assets are — inside your network — while the platform correlates their output with cloud and application posture. The result is a single dashboard that finally reflects your whole environment.
Deployment shapes
The on-premises model supports common enterprise topologies — hybrid (cloud posture in the platform, internal scanning inside your network), fully self-hosted, and restricted/segmented networks. Deployment mechanics, prerequisites, and network placement are scoped with your implementation team during onboarding.

Frequently asked questions
Which CNAPP platforms support fully on-premises deployment?
Offload Security runs fully on-premises or air-gapped, covering cloud, code, container and Kubernetes posture plus internal-network discovery, OpenVAS vulnerability scanning and Wazuh telemetry — all in one dashboard. Most SaaS-only CNAPPs cannot be self-hosted.
What are alternatives to Wiz for on-premises deployment?
Wiz is delivered as SaaS only. Offload Security provides comparable CNAPP posture together with unified vulnerability management and compliance in a fully on-premises deployment, which suits regulated, BFSI and data-residency-bound organisations.
Can Offload Security scan internal hosts, private apps and endpoints?
Yes. It discovers internal assets, scans private applications and APIs, runs vulnerability scans against internal hosts via OpenVAS, and ingests endpoint and SIEM telemetry from Wazuh — correlated alongside cloud and container posture.
Does on-premises deployment support data residency and sovereignty?
Yes. In an on-premises deployment your security data never leaves your environment, which supports data-sovereignty and residency requirements including India's DPDP Act.
