Techniques for generating a virtual private container (VPC) are disclosed. In one embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a virtual container defining a self-contained software environment, comprising one or more analytic components configured to carry out specified analytic functions on data within the container, wherein the one or more analytic components are isolated to run within the self-contained software environment of the container; an interface configured to identify and authenticate a particular user and provide analysis results generated by the one or more analytic components; and a gateway configured to receive data from one or more secure data sources external to the virtual container and associated with the particular user for use by the one or more analytic components.
