This is a significant milestone for Mirror - enabling encrypted AI at production scale with one of the world's leading AI infrastructure providers.
SVV portfolio company Mirror Security has launched its Encrypted AI Inference platform in partnership with NVIDIA, addressing critical security gaps preventing AI adoption in regulated sectors globally. Through this partnership, every AI infra provider running on NVIDIA architecture can now offer Encrypted AI capabilities to their end customers - a capability unlock for the entire AI ecosystem.
Mirror, spun out of University College Dublin, offers the world's first production-ready fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) engine optimised for AI workloads, enabling cryptographic sovereignty.
The problem: Traditional AI systems must decrypt sensitive data during inference, creating vulnerability windows that violate regulatory requirements in healthcare, finance, government, and other industries globally. Companies share far more than names and addresses with AI - they share decision patterns, proprietary intelligence, and workflows that reveal how their business actually works. Mirror Security’s collaboration with NVIDIA eliminates such exposure with cryptographic guarantees.
Mirror's platform keeps data encrypted throughout computation. They are partnering directly with NVIDIA to integrate this capability into NVIDIA's AI infrastructure - the computing power, memory systems, and optimization tools that run modern AI. The collaboration delivers encrypted AI that's production-ready, not just theoretical.
Pankaj Thapa, Co-Founder & CEO, Mirror Security. “With NVIDIA's world-class AI infrastructure and Mirror's encrypted AI computation layer, we're enabling true Sovereign AI - the right to use state-of-the-art AI without giving up control over your data, your keys, your jurisdiction, or the intelligence built on top of it,” he added.
Mirror now operates across Ireland, the USA, and India, working with enterprises, government agencies, and defence organizations that need AI without compromising data control or regulatory compliance. This launch shifts how regulated sectors can deploy AI at scale.
