An independent, evidence-based diagnostic of the data, infrastructure, models, and supply-chain dependencies that determine whether your organization actually controls its technology, and a prioritized roadmap for closing the gaps that matter.
Sovereignty is a continuous architectural property that touches every layer from chip to model to user interface, and one that quietly erodes through routine vendor decisions made by teams without a cross-cutting view of what they are giving away.
Our Technology Sovereignty Assessments give boards, regulators, and executive teams a defensible, independent picture of where they stand and a prioritized roadmap for closing the exposures that materially threaten institutional autonomy.
A structured 8–10 week diagnostic across seven sovereignty domains: data residency & jurisdiction, model provenance, compute & infrastructure, network & egress, identity & key management, third-party dependencies, and operational concentration risk. Output: a board-grade Sovereignty Index with domain-level scoring and a heat map of exposures.
Deep diligence on the foundation models, embeddings, datasets, and third-party APIs your organization relies on, including provenance, license posture, jurisdictional exposure, and the realistic substitution paths if access is restricted, repriced, or revoked.
Reference designs for data classification, residency enforcement, cross-border flow controls, and the audit instrumentation that makes residency claims defensible to regulators and constituents. Our reference classification scheme establishes four foundational data categories, Public, Confidential, Restricted, and National Sensitive, each governed by graded encryption, key custody, and access policy tiers. Residency controls are enforced at the data plane and instrumented with full audit logging of access events; cross-border movement requires explicit, written authorization. By default, no client data is resold and no model training occurs against client data without written consent.
Pragmatic roadmaps for hyperscaler engagement, sovereign cloud adoption, hybrid topologies, and on-premises capability, structured around realistic cost, talent, and time-to-capability trade-offs.
Where exposures are material, we structure and lead the remediation: re-platforming, model substitution, contract renegotiation, in-country build-outs, and the change management that lets the organization absorb the transition without operational disruption.
Our proprietary SOVEREIGN STACK™ framework decomposes the technology environment into seven evaluable layers (silicon, infrastructure, network, data, model, application, and operational) and scores each on two primary axes: jurisdictional control and substitutability. The framework produces a single board-readable score, layer-by-layer findings, and a prioritization grid that distinguishes critical exposures from acceptable dependencies.
