What IG Central is
IG Central is a self-hosted platform for classifying, governing, and searching enterprise content without moving it from its existing location. It runs as a single-tenant governance engine in the customer’s environment. Its classification process uses drill-down LLM methods aligned with a records taxonomy to identify typed metadata, sensitivity, and personally identifiable information. Teams can apply retention schedules and policies, run disposition workflows, search enterprise content, review documents in an embedded viewer, and carry out governance reviews. Users can inspect classifications, prompts, metadata, and outcomes, then correct classifications; the maker says those corrections feed MCP tools for ongoing model refinement. A transactional outbox tracks state changes and is described as crash-safe and auditable. Ingestion supports uploads and connected cloud services. Google Drive is available today, while additional connectors are planned. The maker says IG Central operates within the customer’s infrastructure without depending on public AI systems. Pricing is available on request.
