Cloud speed. Regulator approval.
Cloud architectures that meet data residency, sovereignty and sector rules for finance, health and the public sector.
One call with a senior engineer. A straight answer on what it would take.

Where you are. Where you’ll be.
You need this if
- Compliance has blocked a cloud project before
- You process data that can't leave a jurisdiction
- Regulators are asking about cloud concentration risk
What changes for your business
- Cloud adoption approved by risk and compliance, not worked around
- Data stays where the law says it must
- Audit evidence produced by the platform itself
What we hand over
- Sovereignty and residency requirements mapping
- Sovereign or regulated cloud reference architecture
- Customer-managed encryption and key custody
- Compliance control mapping and evidence automation
What it is
Sovereign and regulated cloud is cloud infrastructure built so data stays in required jurisdictions, encryption keys stay under your control and every access is auditable against specific rules. It is how banks, insurers, healthcare and public bodies use public cloud without failing their regulators.
Regulated firms often stay on-premises because nobody could prove the cloud alternative was compliant. We design for it from the start: data residency controls, customer-managed keys, sovereign cloud regions, and audit trails mapped to the specific rules you answer to, such as DORA, HIPAA, PCI DSS or national sovereignty requirements.

How it runs
- 01
Diagnose
Typically 2–4 weeksWe map the problem, your data and your systems, and agree the one number that defines success.
- 02
Prove
Typically 4–8 weeksA working pilot on your real data, measured against that number. Not a slide demo.
- 03
Ship
Scoped to the outcomeProduction build with security, monitoring, cost controls and documentation included, not upsold.
- 04
Run
Ongoing, optionalWe operate what we built against clear service levels, or train your team to. Your call. No lock-in.
Questions you’ll ask
- Can regulated firms really use public cloud?
- Yes, when the design proves compliance instead of assuming it. Data residency controls, customer-managed keys and mapped audit evidence answer most regulator questions. The work is showing it, control by control.
- What are customer-managed keys?
- Encryption keys you control, often in your own hardware security module, rather than the cloud provider's default keys. Revoke them and the provider can no longer read your data, which is often what regulators and sovereignty rules require.
- How do you address concentration risk?
- By documenting exit and continuity plans, designing critical services so they can run in a second region or provider where required, and testing them. DORA explicitly asks financial entities to manage this risk.
