Air-Gap Assistive Tech: Ensuring Security, Privacy & Inclusion in Regulated Workplaces
Summary
The article analyzes the security, privacy, and inclusion challenges of cloud-based assistive writing tools in regulated, high-security environments and argues for a strict air-gap (100% offline) standard for literacy software. It details technical risks such as data exfiltration, telemetry, and profiling by cloud vendors and explains how offline architectures eliminate those vectors. It maps relevant compliance frameworks (NIST SP 800-53, HIPAA, GDPR) to the air-gap approach and outlines deployment, policy, and training steps for enterprise IT managers. It also emphasizes the neurodiversity imperative, explaining that offline assistive tools restore accessibility for neurodivergent employees while preserving operational security.
