Your documentation shouldn't leave your infrastructure

When compliance requirements, security policies, or data sovereignty laws mean cloud hosting isn't an option, you need documentation that works on your terms.

Without Docsie

  • Cloud-only documentation tools force you to store sensitive product information on third-party servers you don't control
  • Open-source solutions require weeks of IT setup, ongoing maintenance, and lack the AI features your team needs
  • Every audit brings questions about where your documentation lives and who has access to it
  • You're stuck explaining to compliance why your docs are in the cloud when everything else is on-prem
Recommended

  • Up and running in 25 minutes with automated setup—no lengthy IT projects or technical debt

Why Docsie

Enterprise-grade documentation that stays behind your firewall

Get all the modern features of cloud documentation with the control and compliance of on-premise deployment.

Complete Data Control

Your documentation, your data, your infrastructure. Nothing ever touches external servers. Perfect for regulated industries, government agencies, and organizations with strict data residency requirements. You maintain full control over who accesses what, when, and how.

25-Minute Setup

Forget months-long implementation projects. Our automated provisioning gets you from decision to deployment in under half an hour. Your IT team runs one script, and you have a fully-functional documentation platform ready to go.

AI That Works Offline

Get intelligent search, automatic translations, and content recommendations without sending anything to external AI services. All the smart features your team expects, running entirely within your own network perimeter.

No Compromise on Features

You get the exact same platform as our cloud customers—version control, collaboration tools, analytics, customization—just hosted where you need it. Self-hosted doesn't mean second-class.

Built for Compliance

HIPAA, FedRAMP, GDPR, SOC 2—whatever your requirements, keeping documentation on-premise simplifies compliance. Your auditors will thank you for having clear data boundaries and complete audit trails.

Supported, Not Abandoned

Unlike open-source tools, you're not on your own. Get dedicated support, regular updates, and new features—all while maintaining complete control of your deployment. The best of both worlds.

Real-World Use Cases

Organizations across industries choose Docsie for self-hosted documentation that doesn't compromise on capability.

Secure documentation for classified environments
Government & Defense

Secure documentation for classified environments

Government agencies and defense contractors need documentation platforms that meet strict security clearances and data handling requirements. Air-gapped networks and classified information require solutions that never touch the public internet.

  • Deploy in air-gapped environments with zero external dependencies
  • Maintain documentation for classified projects without compliance exceptions
  • Meet FedRAMP and government security standards by default
HIPAA-compliant knowledge management
Healthcare & Life Sciences

HIPAA-compliant knowledge management

Healthcare organizations and medical device manufacturers manage sensitive documentation about patient care, clinical protocols, and proprietary research. Keeping this information on-premise isn't just preference—it's often a legal requirement.

  • Store clinical documentation without Business Associate Agreements for your docs platform
  • Keep patient information and medical protocols within your controlled environment
  • Satisfy HIPAA audits with clear data boundaries and access controls
Documentation for regulated institutions
Financial Services

Documentation for regulated institutions

Banks, insurance companies, and financial services firms face strict regulations about data storage and access. Internal documentation about products, processes, and procedures often contains information that regulators require to stay within specific jurisdictions.

  • Meet data residency requirements across different regulatory jurisdictions
  • Document internal processes without adding to your cloud vendor list
  • Maintain complete audit trails for compliance reporting
