Is POVRIS AS9100D certified?

Software cannot be certified to AS9100D — certification is granted to an organization's Quality Management System by an accredited registrar body. POVRIS is purpose-built to fulfill the strict documentation, segregation, role-based authorization, and verification requirements of AS9100D Clause 8.7 (Nonconforming Outputs) and Clause 10.2 (Corrective Action).

Can POVRIS run on our air-gapped intranet or internal server?

Yes. POVRIS is designed to be deployed directly on your internal server or air-gapped intranet behind your firewall. In this mode, 100% of your manufacturing data, NCR records, and part numbers remain on your premises with zero cloud dependency, fully satisfying DGAQA and defense data sovereignty mandates.

How is a POVRIS engagement priced?

Pricing is tailored to your facility size, module selection, and deployment requirements. We offer flexible deployment models including on-premise installation with an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) as well as managed instances. Contact connects@povris.com for a formal quotation tailored to your shop's requirements.

What does the deployment process look like?

Every engagement begins with a mutual NDA and discovery call to analyze your current registers, CAGE code linkages, and approval chains. We then configure POVRIS to your shop's exact workflow, establish user roles, and deploy directly on your server with full migration support for your historical quality records.

Can we start with NC-CAPA and add modules later?

Yes. The POVRIS platform is strictly modular. You can start with Phase 1 (NC-CAPA) to streamline nonconformance logging and MRB dispositions, and seamlessly add Phase 2 (AMS for internal audits), Phase 3 (SCAR for supplier quality), and future modules as your quality requirements scale.

On-Premise QMS for Air-Gapped Aerospace Shops — Why Defence Suppliers Rely on Internal Servers

Why precision aerospace and defence suppliers working on sensitive programs deploy quality management software on internal internal servers rather than cloud platforms — and how to do it.

Why Cloud QMS Is a Compliance Risk for Defence Suppliers

Foreign-hosted SaaS quality management platforms are hosted on external commercial cloud infrastructure. For precision aerospace and defence suppliers working on programs governed by defence procurement quality clauses or international technical transfer restrictions, storing quality records (NCR logs, CAPA records, inspection photos, drawing zone references) on external public clouds introduces measurable compliance and security exposure.

Specifically:

1. Data Sovereignty for Controlled Technical Information

Drawing zone references, balloon callouts, material specifications, measured dimensional values — while individually non-classified, in aggregate they describe the production characteristics of flight-critical components. Customer quality plans increasingly require technical data to remain strictly within the vendor's physical premises.

2. Quality Plan & Boundary Compliance

Pre-Production Quality Plans (PPQPs) specify the quality management infrastructure for a programme. Cloud-hosted systems not documented in the approved PPQP are technically outside the approved quality system boundary — a finding waiting to be raised.

3. Network Isolation in High-Security Vendor Zones

Shops operating within high-security manufacturing zones frequently operate on isolated networks with limited or zero outbound internet access. Cloud SaaS tools are operationally unusable in these environments.

What On-Premise Deployment Means in Practice

A properly deployed on-premise quality management system runs as a containerised application on your internal internal server — a standard Windows Server, a Linux machine, or a local network workstation — and is accessible to all quality engineers and inspectors on your internal manufacturing floor network without any internet dependency.

Your quality data — every NCR record, MRB disposition, CAPA root cause, verification evidence, and audit PDF — stays physically within your facility. No data exits your network. No subscription credentials expire mid-audit. No external service outage affects your operations.

Technical Requirements for POVRIS On-Premise Deployment

POVRIS on-premise deployment is designed to run on hardware your aerospace facility likely already has:

| Specification | Minimum | Recommended |

|---|---|---|

| CPU | 4-core (Intel i5 / AMD Ryzen 5) | 8-core server CPU |

| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |

| Storage | 100 GB free | 500 GB SSD |

| OS | Windows Server 2019+, Ubuntu 20.04+, or similar | Same |

| Network | Internal LAN / switch accessible to inspection stations | Dedicated VLAN for quality systems |

The POVRIS Docker container is deployed once during setup, requires no ongoing internet access for day-to-day operations, and receives updates via secure offline packages or secured intranet transfer.

Commercial Model: On-Premise License + Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC)

POVRIS Option B (On-Premise) is structured specifically for aerospace and defence precision manufacturers:

•

**Turnkey Setup & License**: Covers containerised deployment on your aerospace facility server, full data migration of your existing Excel NCR registers, inspector and engineer user training, and initial quality documentation support.

•

**Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC)**: An ongoing AMC model covering regular AS9100D compliance updates as standards evolve, critical bug patches, dedicated support, and periodic system health checks.

•

**Tailored Proposals**: Pricing is customized according to your aerospace facility's machine count, active user seats, and module requirements. Contact our engineering team via our enquiry portal or email for a formal quotation and deployment blueprint.

Value proposition: A single prevented major audit nonconformance or customer corrective action finding easily delivers complete return on investment.
