Public AI tools are off-limits
Security classifications, data sovereignty requirements, and procurement regulations prevent government teams from using commercial AI platforms. Most agencies have no compliant alternative for knowledge retrieval.
Use Case — Government
Institutional knowledge that works as fast as the decisions that depend on it.
Policy documents, regulatory archives, and inter-agency reports are produced at scale but accessed at a crawl. Maqno gives public sector teams a secure, private AI layer over their knowledge — with the audit trail and access controls compliance demands.
The challenge
Why government teams have a harder problem to solve.
Institutional knowledge siloed by department
Policy archives, legal opinions, past decisions, and procedural manuals are fragmented across departments and legacy systems. Cross-agency queries that should take minutes take days.
High staff turnover erases context
When experienced officers leave, critical institutional knowledge walks out with them. New staff re-learn the same lessons at the expense of public time and budget.
Audit and FOIA obligations
Every document access, query, and retrieval must be traceable for compliance audits and Freedom of Information requests — a requirement that generic search tools cannot satisfy.
How Maqno responds
Built for the demands of government.
Air-gapped & on-premise deployment
Maqno runs entirely within your infrastructure. No data crosses to external servers. Supports air-gapped networks, government cloud environments, and private data centres.
Granular access control
Define access by department, clearance level, or individual user. Staff only see the documents they are authorised to access — enforced at query time, not just at upload.
Full audit trail
Every query, document view, and permission change is logged with timestamp, user identity, and session context. Ready for compliance audits and FOIA disclosure processes.
Cross-department knowledge search
Connect policy archives, legal registers, meeting minutes, and procedural manuals. Ask questions that span departments and get cited answers in seconds.
Real workflows
What government teams do with Maqno.
Policy briefing
An officer preparing a ministerial briefing asks Maqno to summarise all prior decisions and reports related to a topic. Full citations to source documents included — no manual trawling of archives.
Regulatory compliance check
Connect the regulatory register. Staff ask "does this proposal conflict with any existing regulation?" and get a sourced answer across the full legislative corpus.
Onboarding new staff
New officers query years of institutional precedent on day one. Maqno surfaces relevant past decisions, standard procedures, and contextual background from the knowledge base.
FOIA response preparation
Legal teams locate all documents related to a FOIA request using natural language search. Every retrieved document is logged, providing a defensible record of the disclosure process.
The impact
Measurable outcomes for government teams.
Reduction in time to locate and brief on policy precedent
Sensitive documents sent outside your infrastructure
Document access events logged for compliance and audit
New staff access full institutional knowledge from onboarding
