Sovereign cloud. Full control.

Deploy a cloud platform that meets the strictest data sovereignty and compliance requirements. Your infrastructure, your borders, your rules — with complete audit trails and air-gap capability.

The Problem

Government IT challenges

Government agencies need cloud capabilities but cannot compromise on sovereignty, security, or compliance. Public cloud is not the answer.

Data Sovereignty Requirements

Government data must stay within national borders. Public cloud providers cannot guarantee data residency, processing locality, or protection from foreign jurisdiction access requests.

Vendor Lock-In

Dependence on a single hyperscaler creates strategic risk. Pricing increases, policy changes, or geopolitical events can disrupt critical government services with no migration path.

Security Classification

Different data classification levels require different security controls. Public, restricted, confidential, and secret workloads need architecturally enforced separation — not just access controls.

Audit Compliance

Government IT must demonstrate compliance through comprehensive audit trails. Every action, every access, every configuration change must be logged, retained, and available for inspection.

The Solution

How PLATFORMA helps

A sovereign cloud platform designed from the ground up for government requirements — air-gap capable, fully auditable, and compliance-ready.

Air-Gapped Deployment

Deploy the entire platform in a fully disconnected environment. No internet dependency, no external API calls, no data exfiltration risk. Updates are delivered via secure media transfer.

Full Audit Logging

Every API call, every state change, every access event is logged with tamper-evident audit trails. Retention policies, export formats, and reporting are configurable per compliance framework.

RBAC with MFA

Role-based access control with mandatory multi-factor authentication. Role definitions map to government security clearance levels. Session management with forced re-authentication for sensitive operations.

Data Residency Guarantees

All data — compute, storage, metadata, logs, and backups — stays within your designated geographic boundaries. No data leaves the sovereign perimeter, ever. Architecturally enforced, not just policy-based.

Network Isolation

Complete network segmentation between classification levels. VLAN-based isolation, firewall policies, and encrypted inter-zone communication. Zero-trust networking between all components.

Identity Federation

Integrate with government identity providers — national PKI, smart card authentication, and government SSO systems. Support for X.509 certificates and CAC/PIV authentication.

Use Cases

Real-world deployments

How government agencies use PLATFORMA to build sovereign cloud infrastructure that meets the highest compliance standards.

Ministry Hosts Citizen Services

A government ministry deploys citizen-facing digital services on a sovereign cloud platform. Citizen data never leaves national infrastructure. The platform provides automated scaling during peak demand periods like tax season or census collection.

100% data sovereignty guaranteed
Auto-scaling for peak demand periods
Complete audit trail for data access

Defense Department Runs Classified Workloads

A defense organization deploys classified workloads on an air-gapped PLATFORMA instance. Physical and logical isolation, mandatory access controls, and multi-level security enforcement — all managed through a single platform.

Municipality Manages Smart City

A city government runs IoT data collection, traffic management, and emergency services on a local sovereign cloud. Real-time processing at the edge, centralized management, and complete data ownership for citizen privacy.

FAQ

Common Questions

The platform supports multi-level security architectures. You can define custom classification levels (e.g., Public, Restricted, Confidential, Secret) with enforced separation between them. Each level gets its own compute, storage, and network resources with controlled cross-level data flows. The architecture supports up to NATO Secret classification with appropriate physical infrastructure.

Yes. The platform is designed for fully air-gapped deployment. All components — control plane, data plane, monitoring, and management tools — run locally. Updates and patches are delivered via secure media transfer with integrity verification. No external dependencies, no phone-home, no telemetry.

We work with your security authority through the entire accreditation process. We provide security architecture documentation, threat assessments, and control mapping to your compliance framework (Common Criteria, ISO 27001, NIS2, national standards). Typical certification timeline is 3-6 months depending on classification level.

Updates are packaged as signed, integrity-verified bundles delivered via secure media (encrypted USB, optical media, or secure file transfer). Each update includes a detailed changelog, security advisory, and rollback procedure. Updates are tested in a staging environment before production deployment. The update process is fully documented for audit purposes.
