BIM VR On-Premises: Handling Data Security for Enterprise Clients
JetStyle’s BIM VR platform was designed from the ground up with enterprise security in mind, supporting both cloud and on-premises deployments.
BIM VR is JetStyle’s collaboration tool for architects, engineers and contractors:
Recently, a potential client from the oil and gas industry approached us with exceptionally strict data protection requirements. Leveraging the existing on-premises architecture, we were able to deploy a fully isolated VR environment, ensuring that all data remained within the client’s secure infrastructure while preserving full VR functionality.
While we cannot disclose the client or specific models due to NDA, the challenge demonstrates how our platform can handle the most demanding security scenarios without starting from scratch.
Overcoming Data Security Challenges in XR
The client’s requirements were clear: no internet access, no cloud storage, and fully isolated environments. Even standard VR hardware stores and updates needed to be disabled to prevent any potential data leakage.
To meet these needs, we designed a custom on-premises server setup. We delivered:
- Secure, isolated VR streaming
- Local administration via browser interface
- On-demand access to models while ensuring no external communication
Cross-Discipline Expertise: DevOps, Backend, and XR Teams
Projects of this complexity require multi-disciplinary expertise. At JetStyle, we combined:
- DevOps for secure server deployment and maintenance
- Backend engineers for custom workflows and streaming logic
- XR specialists for BIM model integration and VR interface adjustments
Continuous Operation in Restricted Environments
Even though the setup conditions were extreme, our VR system was designed to remain responsive and fully operational.
Our on-premises pipeline ensures that users can access, load, and manipulate BIM models entirely locally, without any accidental exposure to the internet, while keeping all server and headset operations fully auditable.
R&D Grounded in Real-World Constraints
In industries like construction and energy, sensitive data must be carefully protected. Deploying a fully on-premises VR solution with strict data isolation is a highly complex challenge with significant responsibility, and it requires thorough R&D.
Our next step for BIM VR is to polish the process of the product’s deployment under high-security conditions.
If you are an enterprise and cloud-based solutions do not meet your security needs, but you still want to work with BIM models in VR, JetStyle can provide a secure, on-premises workflow tailored to your requirements.
Our combination of enterprise-ready architecture, deep understanding of business needs, creative XR expertise, and technical capability allows us to implement robust VR solutions even in highly restricted environments. On the first step, you can simply schedule a discovery call, share your constraints, and we will immediately outline what can be achieved.
