Government
Sovereignty you can demonstrate, not just assert.
Public-sector bodies need to show where data lives, who reached it, and that the vendor could not have reached it quietly. The platform is built for that: residency enforced in software, an audit chain that covers the operator, and a deployment you can own outright.
Why the platform, for you
Government buyers start from control. The question behind every requirement is whether the arrangement survives an inspection — can you demonstrate residency, produce evidence-grade audit, and run with no superuser flag the vendor holds. That makes Identity & Access and its one authorization decision point central, the Cloud & Infrastructure pillar the place residency is enforced before placement, and the data layer’s openness the exit guarantee that keeps the relationship from becoming lock-in. Where the sensitivity demands it, the same platform runs on hardware the body owns, air-gapped.
Where it earns its place
Demonstrable residency
Residency is a policy enforced before a workload is placed, and out-of-region provisioning is refused — a property you can show an inspector rather than a commitment on a slide.
Evidence-grade audit
A hash-chained, append-only log of every access, allows and denies alike, covering the operator’s actions as much as the tenant’s.
Own the stack where it matters
The identical platform runs on infrastructure the body owns, so the most sensitive estates stay on hardware and keys that are yours.
The requirement, and what answers it

Questions, answered
Can we run it on infrastructure we own?
Yes. The identical platform runs on hardware the body owns — from a single node to an air-gapped estate — with the same controls as the hosted service.
How is data residency enforced?
As policy, before a workload is placed: an out-of-region provisioning is refused, not flagged afterwards. That is a behaviour you can demonstrate to an inspector.
What does procurement look like?
Every product carries a published rate and lands on one invoice, so a pilot needs no framework agreement. For a formal procurement, talk to us.
