Company
Specialists for data sovereignty in an outsourced world.
Soverata guides mid-sized companies on the way to control over their data, from the first assessment to operations. We advise, implement and develop our own software. One principle applies to all of it: your data stays within your area of responsibility and can be taken with you at any time.
Conviction
We build systems that belong to you.
The industry mainstream trades control for convenience: data moves into foreign clouds, models into foreign hands, keys to foreign providers. For many organisations that trade is a growing risk — legal, strategic and security-wise.
We go the other way. We bring modern AI and data processing back to where they belong: into your sovereignty. Sovereign does not mean backward — it means you understand, own and control what your business runs on.
Principles
What we hold ourselves to.
Independence
We assess independently: no vendor ties, no lock-in architectures. Our recommendation answers only to your mandate.
Transparency
Open building blocks, documented decisions, auditable systems. You see what runs — and why.
Responsibility
We build not just what is possible, but what is responsible — towards the law, security and your users.
Substance
Depth over buzzwords. We deliver systems that hold up in operation, not just in a pitch.
Fields of competence
Where our depth lies.
Our work joins three disciplines that today rarely sit in one pair of hands — and it is in their intersection that real sovereignty emerges.
- Artificial intelligence & machine learning
- Self-hosted LLMs & retrieval-augmented generation
- Data architecture, pipelines & governance
- Encryption & key management
- Zero-trust & network security
- Threat modelling & hardening
- Sovereign infrastructure & cloud-exit
- GDPR, EU AI Act, NIS2 & ISO 27001
