Sovereign AI
Keep your data, models and AI under your control: what has to stay, where it should run, and how to move it without breaking what works.
Control is easier to keep than to win back
Only outside AI services
- Sensitive data goes to services you do not control.
- You cannot say where it is processed.
- A supplier changing its terms can break your product.
With sovereign AI
- You decide where data and models live.
- You have a map of what runs where.
- You can switch suppliers without starting again.
In stages, so nothing breaks
- Assessment
Map where your data goes
Every place AI touches your data is listed: tools, suppliers, plug-ins, uploads. For each, what goes in, where it is processed and which rules apply. Output: a costed recommendation.
- Design
Choose where each workload runs
Options for each workload are compared on cost, speed and risk, and the plan and price are agreed in writing.
- Pilot
Move the one that worries you most
A single real workload runs on infrastructure you control, alongside the old setup for a while, so answers and cost can be compared.
- Operate
Run it or hand it over
Hosting, patching and monitoring with a quarterly review of models and costs, or training for your team to do it.
Three places, each with a trade-off
Your own cloud account
Models run in a region you choose, under your accounts and your keys. Usually the quickest route.
A provider in your country
A local provider under local law, for when your rules say the data must stay in the country.
Your own hardware
Machines in your own rack or data centre, for when nothing may leave the building. The most control and the most work.
Independent, and honest about the trade-offs
Keeping control costs time and money. We show you both before you commit.
Not tied to one cloud
We recommend what suits you, whether that is your own account, a regional provider or your own hardware.
We measure before we recommend
Self-hosted models are not always cheaper or better. We test them on your tasks and show you the numbers.
Built for businesses in many countries
Rules differ from country to country. We design around the ones that apply to you and work with your lawyers on the legal side.

Questions about this service
What does sovereign AI actually mean?
It means you decide where your data and AI models are stored and run, who can access them, and which supplier you depend on.
Do we have to stop using services like ChatGPT?
Not necessarily. We work out which workloads must stay under your control and which can safely use outside services.
Do you give legal advice?
No. We design the technical side and work with your lawyers on the legal requirements that apply where you operate.
Is it more expensive than a hosted service?
Often, at least at first. The assessment puts the costs side by side so you can decide with real numbers.
