Sovereign cloud integration
AI without data leaving the estate. Credential-free access to cloud APIs for regulated industries.
The problem
Regulated industries need cloud AI capabilities but cannot send data across a trust boundary without losing control. Traditional integration patterns require credentials on customer machines, creating an attack surface that regulators flag and auditors reject.
What we build
We design and implement credential-free access patterns where your on-premise systems call cloud AI services without ever holding credentials. The pattern uses cryptographic signatures and short-lived tokens that expire before an attacker can use them.
Data flows outbound only. The cloud service never initiates contact with your estate. If the service is compromised, your infrastructure remains isolated.
Evidence of control
We document the access pattern so your auditors can verify:
- No credentials stored on customer machines
- No inbound connections to your network
- A grant covers one object for a bounded window — minutes, not hours — and is refused outright if it is asked to cover more
- Full audit trail of every API call
What this solves
This pattern unblocks cloud AI adoption in environments where traditional credential management fails regulatory review.
Engagement model
Fixed-scope design and implementation. Timeline: 4–8 weeks depending on estate complexity. We deliver working code, documentation, and audit evidence. Your team operates it; we are available for ongoing support under separate engagement.
