Pendra

Pendra is a managed inference platform designed to enable AI-powered data processing for regulated industries, with a particular focus on privacy, compliance, and data sovereignty within the United Kingdom. It addresses the challenge faced by organizations in healthcare, legal, public sector, and financial services that need to process sensitive unstructured data—such as clinical notes, legal documents, and citizen correspondence—without compromising regulatory requirements or data jurisdiction.

The platform operates exclusively on UK-based infrastructure, ensuring that all data remains within British legal jurisdiction and is not subject to the US CLOUD Act. Pendra enforces zero data retention, meaning that data is processed in RAM and never stored, aligning with strict privacy mandates. It is UK GDPR compliant, Cyber Essentials certified, and is in the process of obtaining ISO 27001 certification. The service is suitable for use cases such as clinical document processing, privileged legal document review, citizen data automation for public sector workflows, and compliant document intelligence in financial services.

Pendra provides a hybrid deployment model: organizations can run inference on Pendra-managed GPUs or deploy the orchestration layer on their own hardware, or combine both approaches. The platform handles model serving, scaling, monitoring, patching, and failover, delivering an API endpoint and SDKs for integration. js, allowing developers to integrate AI inference into their applications with minimal changes to existing code. The platform supports streaming and provides a predictable, flat-rate compute pricing model with dedicated GPU throughput, enabling organizations to plan capacity and costs effectively.

Designed for regulated environments where privacy is paramount, Pendra aims to make private, compliant AI processing accessible without requiring organizations to manage their own MLOps infrastructure. , a company registered in Wales.
