Control where data resides — and who uses it, for what.

Data sovereignty is the practice of controlling data ownership, access, encryption keys, transfers, operating authority, lifecycle, and AI use together, beyond the choice of where data is hosted. Sanal Çekirdek turns these decisions into a concrete architecture and responsibility model.

Data classification and flow visibility

We map where data is held, where it originates, who receives it and which process uses it. Classification then guides hosting, encryption, access, retention and deletion decisions.

  • Data inventory and ownership
  • Classification and processing purpose
  • Domestic and international flows
  • Retention and secure disposal

Controlled infrastructure and private cloud

On-premises, private cloud and controlled hosting options are assessed according to workload and data class. Management planes, access, logging, backup and supplier responsibilities are separated according to the required control level.

  • Dedicated resources and network zones
  • Customer-controlled key options
  • Administrator access and session records
  • Auditable operational activity and change

Sovereign AI architecture

The architecture makes it clear where the model runs, which data it can access, how prompts and responses are logged, whether data is reused for training and which party holds operating privileges. Open or proprietary model choices are assessed against these control objectives.

  • Private deployment and network isolation
  • Permission-aware RAG
  • Prompt and response data policy
  • Audit trail across models, agents and tools

Compliance evidence and shared responsibility

Technical controls must be supported by operating evidence such as policy, roles, records, reviews and breach response. Responsibilities across the customer, Sanal Çekirdek, facility and technology provider are clarified, while legal conclusions remain with qualified legal and compliance advisers.

  • Control-owner-evidence matrix
  • Access and entitlement reviews
  • Logs, changes and incident records
  • Audit readiness and remediation tracking

How we work

  1. Define the business outcome and decision owners
  2. Establish baseline measures
  3. Design the integrated solution and operating model
  4. Run a controlled pilot and scale
  5. Measure results and update the roadmap

How success is measured

  • Data assets with assigned owners and classifications
  • Access review and inappropriate-access closure
  • Compliance with logging, retention and deletion policy
  • Control-evidence currency and audit findings

Frequently asked questions

Are data sovereignty and data localization the same?

No. Localization focuses on geographic location. Sovereignty also covers access, jurisdiction, encryption keys, operating authority, transfer, lifecycle and technology dependency.

Does private cloud create compliance by itself?

No. Private cloud can narrow the control boundary, but poor access, incomplete logging, weak process or inappropriate use may remain. Compliance depends on technical and organizational measures operating together.

Does Sanal Çekirdek provide legal compliance opinions?

We design technical and operational controls and help make data flows and evidence visible. Formal legal interpretation and compliance opinions must be provided by the customer's qualified legal and compliance advisers.

Can public cloud be used in this model?

Yes, where data class and control requirements permit it. Region, service terms, administrative access, key model, subprocessors and data flows are reviewed to determine suitable workloads.
