IL4 and IL5 AI deployment: define the boundary
Blog post from Factory
Deploying AI coding agents in IL4 and IL5 environments requires an end-to-end assessment based on the data classification, authorized system boundary, and responsible authorizing official’s decision, rather than relying on labels such as private network or airgapped deployment. Evaluations should account for source code, prompts, model endpoints, connected tools, telemetry, identity systems, package sources, source control, and operational controls, with each integration remaining within the approved configuration. Factory describes support for private, sovereign, and airgapped arrangements, but these statements represent deployment capabilities rather than blanket authorization for specific workloads or services; as of September 18, 2026, its FedRAMP authorization was still in progress. Private deployments place the control plane in customer infrastructure, while airgapped deployments use customer-configured models and exclude Factory-bound and cloud-dependent functions such as Slack integration, session sharing, and hosted analytics. Organizations should validate complete workflows using synthetic data, document data flows and responsibilities, test rejected connections and failure recovery, and maintain acceptance records identifying the workload decision, service scope, active configuration, and verification evidence.
