Managed GitHub Enterprise Server, inside your own boundary.

GitHub Enterprise Server deployed inside your authorization boundary and operated as a single-tenant dedicated instance. iTmethods runs the substrate. Reign Gateway governs Copilot and the rest of the coding-agent fleet at the call layer.

The decision

GitHub Enterprise Server operated under an agreed responsibility model.

Most GitHub estates that need to move do not need to change product. They need the same product somewhere else, run by someone whose job it is.

01Nobody has to learn a new tool

Your engineers keep GitHub. The workflows, the Actions, the review process and the muscle memory all survive the move.

That matters more than it sounds. The usual reason a source-control migration fails is not the migration, it is the retraining that follows it.

02The estate moves inside your boundary

Enterprise Server runs inside your authorization boundary rather than under a vendor’s operational control.

Code outside the boundary carries someone else’s security posture. Inside it, the posture is yours and it can be audited by your own people.

03Actions is the part that needs the most care

Runners execute your code. They are the most consequential thing on the platform and the easiest to leave loose.

Isolated per environment, short-lived OIDC tokens, no long-lived registration secrets, and no shared execution surface between environments that should not see each other.

04Copilot is already in the repository

The coding agents your engineers adopted are reading and writing the same code as the people are.

You do not have to remove them. You have to be able to say what they reached, under what policy, and when.

Deployment

One dedicated GitHub Enterprise Server instance. Organizations, repositories and Actions runners sit on it, in infrastructure iTmethods operates or in your own AWS or Azure account. Deployment options →

The hardening sheet

What Reign Ops applies on day one.

Identity boundary bound to your provider.

SAML or OIDC at the platform edge, on the protocol you already run, with SCIM where you use it.

Allow-listing at both edges.

At the GitHub edge and at the edge of the Actions runners, so what can execute is bounded as tightly as who can sign in.

Actions runners isolated per environment.

Short-lived OIDC tokens, no long-lived registration secrets, and no shared execution surface between environments.

Audit log streamed to your SIEM.

The GitHub audit log goes to the system your security team already watches rather than staying in a console.

AI coding tools governed at the call layer.

Copilot and the rest of the fleet route through Reign Gateway.

And six more.

The AI coding tools

Productivity multipliers, and the newest way code leaves.

Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code and the rest of the coding-agent fleet read and write your GitHub code at machine pace. Reign Gateway governs them at the call layer.

The part worth being precise about. This governs the coding tools your own engineers run against GitHub, Copilot included, for calls sent through Reign Gateway. It is not a claim that those tools are safe, and it does not make an unapproved model approved. Beyond SOC 2 Type II for Reign Ops, no other certification or accreditation is claimed.

Where Reign Factory fits

The same instance, with work arriving in it.

A customer who never adopts Reign Factory loses nothing here. Reign Factory works with GitHub, so where it is used, this instance is where it opens its pull requests, each carrying its checks and findings, with your reviewers approving every merge. What it is, and what it will not do →

Shared responsibility

What we run, what you run.

Scoped to GitHub Enterprise Server and its Actions runners, and written down before anything is deployed.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

How do we move from GitHub.com to Enterprise Server?

A scoped readiness assessment sizes it: an inventory of organizations, repositories, Actions workflows and secrets, then a gap analysis against your regulatory surface, then a phased cut-over with the governed posture live on the new substrate from day one. Workflows are not rewritten mid-flight.

Does Copilot still work?

Yes. It routes through Reign Gateway at the call layer, which is where the policy applies and where the record is written. You author the catalog of tools the organization sanctions and the boundary enforces it. Your engineers do not change how they work.

What about Advanced Security?

Code scanning and branch protection are among the twelve controls applied on day one. Scanners report their findings into the request. Whether a finding blocks a merge is your policy, and Reign Ops runs the gates you set.
