### Airgapped

Built for organizations with strict security and compliance requirements, the Airgapped Commercial Edition provides the same powerful features as the Commercial Edition but operates in completely isolated environments without internet connectivity.

The Airgapped Edition offers:

- **Complete isolation**
Operates entirely within your network perimeter with no external dependencies or outbound connections.

- **Full feature parity**
Includes all features available in the standard Commercial Edition, including advanced work management, security controls, and governance tools

- **Version updates**
Updates from your own docker registry.

- **Self-contained architecture**
All services, dependencies, and resources are bundled for deployment in restricted networks

- **Compliance-ready**
Designed to meet requirements for environments that prohibit external network communication
