Your documentation can't live in someone else's cloud anymore

Regulated industries face impossible choices: use modern tools and risk compliance violations, or stick with outdated systems that slow everyone down. You need both compliance and capability.

Without Docsie

  • Documentation lives on external servers you can't audit, creating compliance gaps your auditors always flag
  • Writers stuck using legacy tools from 2010 because they're the only ones approved for sensitive content
  • Every cloud documentation tool gets rejected by security, so your team cobbles together file shares and wikis
  • You're explaining to leadership why your team can't have AI assistance like everyone else
Recommended

With Docsie

  • Full platform installed on your own servers—security sees exactly where every document lives and who can access it
  • Writers get modern AI-powered tools that actually work behind your firewall, no exceptions needed
  • Takes 25 minutes to deploy, passes security review because nothing leaves your network
  • Your team gets the same AI capabilities as cloud users, just running on infrastructure you control

Why Docsie

Modern documentation tools that actually pass your security review

Finally, a technical writing platform that gives your team modern capabilities without the compliance headaches.

Complete Data Sovereignty

Every document, every version, every AI process runs exclusively on your infrastructure. When auditors ask where customer data lives, you point to your own data center. No shared tenancy, no data crossing borders, no explaining cloud storage policies.

Production-Ready in 25 Minutes

Your team doesn't wait months for a deployment project. Automated provisioning means you go from approval to writers working in the system in under half an hour. Same day security review, same day productivity gains.

AI That Runs Behind Your Firewall

Your writers don't lose out on AI-powered content suggestions, smart search, or automated formatting just because you're on-premise. The full AI stack runs locally, using your compute resources, never sending content outside your network.

Real-World Use Cases

Technical writing teams in regulated environments trust Docsie to balance modern capabilities with strict compliance requirements.

Medical device documentation under FDA oversight
Healthcare Technology

Medical device documentation under FDA oversight

A medical device manufacturer needed to modernize documentation for 100+ products while maintaining CFR Part 11 compliance. Their legacy system couldn't track changes properly, but cloud tools were prohibited for PHI-adjacent content. Docsie gave them version control and collaboration without data leaving their validated environment.

  • Audit trail for every documentation change required by FDA submissions
  • Writers collaborate in real-time without files leaving the secure network
  • Version control that maps directly to device design history files
Banking documentation with SOC 2 and regional data residency
Financial Services

Banking documentation with SOC 2 and regional data residency

A regional bank's technical writing team was managing product documentation, compliance procedures, and customer-facing guides across multiple systems. Regulators required proof that no customer information was processed outside specific geographic boundaries. On-premise Docsie let them consolidate everything while maintaining complete data residency.

  • All content processing happens within their SOC 2 certified data centers
  • Regional teams access the same platform without data crossing borders
  • Complete documentation of data flows for regulatory examinations
Defense documentation for ITAR-controlled content
Government Contractors

Defense documentation for ITAR-controlled content

A defense contractor's technical publications team creates documentation for systems with export restrictions. Cloud solutions were automatically disqualified, and their current tools had no collaboration features. They needed modern workflow without any possibility of data leaving approved networks.

  • Zero external network connections from the documentation platform
  • Writers use AI assistance for technical content without data exposure concerns
  • Security team can audit the entire system at the infrastructure level

Track every change, revert to any previous version, and maintain complete audit trails without learning Git.

Multi-Language Documentation

Manage translations for the same content across dozens of languages, with AI-assisted consistency checking.

Intelligent Search

Writers and readers find what they need instantly with AI-powered search that understands technical concepts, not just keywords.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear from technical writing teams evaluating on-premise solutions.

Getting Started

Most Popular

Q: How long does it actually take to get Docsie running in our environment?

A: Automated provisioning takes about 25 minutes from start to finish. Most teams schedule a morning deployment and have writers creating content that afternoon. Your IT team reviews the deployment plan, we kick off the automation, and it handles the installation.

Q: Do we need specialized IT staff to maintain the on-premise installation?

A: No specialized training required. Your existing IT team manages it like any other internal application. Updates are automated, monitoring integrates with your existing tools, and our support team helps with anything unusual.

Q: Can we import our existing documentation from our current tools?

A: Yes. Docsie imports from Word, Confluence, SharePoint, legacy help authoring tools, and most other common formats. We provide migration assistance to make sure nothing gets lost in the transition.

Security & Compliance

Q: What compliance frameworks does Docsie support for on-premise deployments?

A: On-premise Docsie supports your compliance requirements because it runs entirely on your infrastructure. Teams use it for HIPAA, SOC 2, ITAR, FedRAMP environments, and industry-specific regulations. Since you control the infrastructure, you control the compliance posture.

Q: Does the AI functionality send any content outside our network?

A: No. The AI features run completely locally on your infrastructure. Nothing is sent to external services, cloud APIs, or third-party AI providers. Your content stays in your environment, processed by compute resources you control.
