Endpoint Agent Submission
A registered agent on each side gives users a controlled submission point and protected local custody.
Bardin Gate ART
Air-Gap Registered Transfer
Governed, approved, and auditable transfer of individual files between isolated networks, built around the people who need to move them rather than a permanent network path.
Source Endpoint Agent
An authorized user selects one file and one permitted destination in the local agent.
ART Custody and Assurance
Bardin Gate takes custody, verifies integrity, applies policy, and obtains approval when required.
Destination Endpoint Agent
The verified file is delivered into its administrator-defined destination.
User-Oriented Transfer
Let People Move Files Without Connecting the Networks
Bardin Gate ART is designed for organizations where staff, engineers, and partners legitimately need to move individual files across an isolation boundary, without removable media, shared credentials, or an unaccountable gap in custody.
One File, One Transfer
Each file carries its own identity and outcome, so nothing is hidden inside a bulk operation.
Policy and Approval
Policy decides what may proceed automatically and what must reach a named human approver.
Accountable Custody
Every transfer is attributable to an identified user and reviewable from submission to delivery.
From Submission to Delivery
ART turns a person's file-transfer request into a governed store-and-forward process that never asks the user to control physical connectivity.
1. Submit
The user picks one file and one permitted destination in the local endpoint agent.
2. Accept
Bardin Gate connects to the source side, receives the file into durable custody, and verifies its integrity.
3. Assure
Configured content assurance and validation rules are applied before the file is eligible to move.
4. Approve
Transfers that policy places into review wait for an assigned approver's recorded decision.
5. Deliver
The accepted file is delivered to its fixed destination when that side is available, and the result is verified.
6. Record
Status, decisions, timestamps, and outcomes remain available to authorized users as audit evidence.
Administration and Oversight
Administrators define the boundaries of what users can do, and operators retain the evidence needed to answer for every transfer.
Registered Endpoints
Agents are enrolled, authorized, and revocable, so only known endpoints participate.
Fixed Destinations
Destinations are defined by administrators rather than typed in by the person submitting.
Role-Based Access
Submission, approval, administration, and support are separated roles with distinct permissions.
Retention and Hold
Content and metadata retention follow policy, and an authorized hold prevents deletion until it is released.
Common Use Cases
These scenarios need a specific person to move a specific file across a trust boundary, with a record of who asked and who agreed.
Engineering and Maintenance Files
Deliver firmware, configuration, or tooling into an isolated environment under review.
Document Exchange
Move working documents between separated teams without an uncontrolled shared drive.
Vendor and Contractor Deliverables
Accept externally produced files through a governed and attributable submission path.
Regulated Submissions
Support file movement that must show an approval decision and a chain of custody.
Investigation Material
Move evidence and incident artifacts out of a restricted zone with retention control.
Reference Data Updates
Bring signature, reference, or lookup files into an isolated network on request.
ART or ARP?
Both products move files across the same isolation boundary. They differ in who starts the movement.
Choose ART
An identified person submits a specific file for a specific reason, and the record should show who asked and who approved.
Choose ARP
Systems exchange files as routine, repeating work, and no person should be in the path of each file.
Bardin Gate ARP details
Use Both
Automated pipelines and governed human transfers can run on the same isolation architecture and the same operational discipline.
What This Changes
ART succeeds when the people who need to move a file can simply do it, and the organization gives up none of the control that isolation was meant to provide.
The Task Gets Done
Authorized people move the files their work depends on, without removable media, shared credentials, or an informal workaround.
Control Stays Enforceable
Physical isolation, destination rules, and approval requirements keep applying to every transfer rather than eroding in practice.
Every Transfer Can Be Answered For
Integrity evidence and an attributable chain of custody remain available when someone asks what moved, who asked, and who agreed.
