On-premise is recommended for government, defence and regulated sectors requiring maximum control and air-gap capability. Cloud managed suits organisations prioritising rapid deployment and zero infrastructure overhead. Hybrid combines on-premise PKI with cloud-hosted management portals. Air-gapped is mandatory for classified networks.

Yes. Many organisations use a hybrid model, on-premise Active Directory and PKI infrastructure with a cloud-hosted MyID management portal and self-service enrolment site. This allows remote workers to enrol via cloud while keeping core credential operations on-premise.
