We built this tool specifically for enterprises where data security is non-negotiable. No upload. No cloud. No exceptions.
Enterprise source code is among the most sensitive intellectual property a company owns. We knew from day one that any tool requiring a cloud upload would be a non-starter for the organizations that need it most.
Many enterprise codebases are subject to non-disclosure agreements, government contracts, or client confidentiality clauses. Uploading source code to any third-party service — even for analysis — could constitute a breach. Our analyzer never touches a network, so you stay compliant.
Your codebase contains your business logic, your algorithms, and years of institutional knowledge. Sending it to a cloud service — even one with good intentions — creates a copy that exists outside your control. We eliminate that risk entirely by keeping everything local.
Finance, healthcare, defence, and government sectors often operate on networks with strict outbound traffic controls or full air-gap policies. The analyzer is a single self-contained EXE — it runs on any Windows 10/11 machine, including ones with no internet access at all.
When you first run the analyzer, Windows may show a blue or grey dialog with the message "Windows protected your PC". This is expected. Here is exactly what to do and why it happens.
Save SmartAIModernization.exe anywhere on your machine — Desktop, Downloads, a network share. No installer is needed.
Windows SmartScreen will intercept and show a blue or grey dialog saying "Windows protected your PC."
You will see a small link labelled "More info" in the bottom-left of the dialog. Click it. The dialog will expand to show the publisher name and an additional button.
The analyzer will launch immediately. You will see a welcome screen confirming offline-only operation before you select any folder.
Windows SmartScreen checks every downloaded EXE against a database of known publishers. Software gets "known" status through a commercial code-signing certificate — a cryptographic credential issued by certificate authorities such as DigiCert or Sectigo. These certificates cost several hundred dollars per year and take time to obtain and configure for a new product.
Smart AI Modernization is new software. We have not yet purchased and deployed a code-signing certificate. This is entirely normal for new tools — the warning is a reflection of our certificate status, not of any malicious intent. Established commercial software goes through the same process when it is brand new.
We are in the process of acquiring a certificate. Once it is in place, the SmartScreen dialog will no longer appear for our EXE. Until then, the "More info → Run anyway" path is the correct procedure.
If your security team requires it, we are happy to share the source code for review prior to running the EXE in your environment. Contact us and we will arrange access. Transparency is the whole point.
The EXE makes zero outbound network connections — not on startup, not during scanning, not after generating reports. You can verify this with any network monitor or run it on a machine with no network adapter at all. We will never be able to receive your data because we never try to contact us.
We collect no usage metrics, no crash reports, no feature analytics, and no system information. There is no anonymous telemetry, no opt-in or opt-out toggle, and no background process. When the window closes, the tool is completely gone from memory — it leaves no agents or services behind.
Your source code, project structure, file names, class names, dependency lists, and any other information derived from your codebase are never shared with us, with third parties, or with any cloud service. The data exists on your machine and nowhere else — before, during, and after the scan.
The two HTML reports generated by the tool are written to a folder you choose on your local machine or network drive. They are self-contained HTML files that open in any browser without an internet connection. You decide who sees them — share them by email, a shared drive, or print them. They never touch our servers.
