The Gap

Your data lives outside your infrastructure.

When agencies lack a sanctioned chat tool, staff turn to commercial apps and personal devices outside the accreditation boundary. CometChat Air delivers both speed and compliance.

Fast to deploy. Wrong side of the boundary.

Slack, WhatsApp and their peers are multi-tenant and cloud-only. Mission traffic routed through a third-party cloud sits outside the accreditation boundary, and they can't deploy inside a classified or air-gapped network.

Convenient. Completely unauthorized.

Without a sanctioned tool, teams turn to personal devices and consumer apps, moving CUI, tasking details and operational updates onto unmanaged infrastructure the agency doesn't own.

Certified on paper. Abandoned in practice.

Purpose-built government tools often check the compliance box but fail on usability, slow, hard to deploy, missing modern features like threads and video. Staff route around them.

CometChat Air

Mission-ready and air-gap-ready, no compromise.

A complete secure messaging platform, channels, threads, voice, video, file sharing, that deploys entirely inside your agency's own infrastructure. The experience your teams will actually use, on the terms your security review can approve.

Trusted Infrastructure

Air-Gapped by Default

Sealed by default. Connected only when you choose.

  • The core is isolated

    Mission messaging, calls, and briefing files stay inside your network. Nothing about your operations leaves unless you say so.

  • Add-ons are opt-in

    AI briefing summaries, notifications, and translation may reach out. Turn them on only if you want them.

  • Governed end to end

    Audit logs and blocked screenshots on classified files, so security can show exactly what happened during an incident.

Features

Everything the mission needs. Nothing it can't contain.

Command-grade messaging

Channels by unit, task, or operation; threads; file sharing; sub-100ms delivery. Every byte stays on your infrastructure.

Secure voice & video calling

Secure briefings and consults inside the same boundary, on-prem with no traffic leaving the network

AI agents for operations

Summaries and drafting on models you control. No operational data leaves the network to reach an AI endpoint.

Air-gapped mission messaging

Zero outbound internet required. Runs in fully isolated, classified, or otherwise restricted networks with no SaaS dependency.

Self-hosted secure messaging

On-prem, private gov cloud. Customer-managed, shared responsibility, or CometChat-managed on your hardware.

Built for the people who own the decision:

  • IT
  • CISO
  • CIO
  • CTO
  • COO
  • COMPLIANCE
  • HR

Security

Deploys inside CUI, zero trust, and air-gapped environments.

CometChat AIR maps directly to the controls government and defense environments require, not retrofitted after the fact.

Deploys inside CUI, zero trust, and air-gapped environments.

Same controls. Zero new overhead.

Organizations handling controlled unclassified information (CUI) must meet CMMC Level 2 security requirements. CometChat Air is designed to help secure sensitive communications in these environments.

Fits a perimeter free model by design

Protect sensitive conversations with strong identity verification, role-based access, customer-managed encryption keys (BYOK), and channel-level permissions.

Controlled data never leaves authorized infrastructure

Deploy on-premises or air-gapped on infrastructure you control. Export-controlled technical data stays in your environment, with no CometChat server storing your data.
