EU Data Sovereignty
Your AI governance data deserves the same protection as your AI systems.
Verdix is the only AI governance platform incorporated in Europe, offering a structured three-tier path from EU data residency to full data sovereignty. Built for the enterprises and regulated industries where jurisdiction is not a preference — it is a procurement requirement.

Why This Matters
This isn't just about where data is stored.
AI governance data is among the most sensitive information your organisation produces. It contains your strategic AI investment decisions, the evidence behind those decisions, council votes and rationale, risk assessments, and financial projections. In regulated industries, it is also the documentation that regulators will request.
Where that data is stored matters. Which jurisdiction governs it matters more.
AI governance platforms based in the United States or United Kingdom operate under legal frameworks that can compel access to data stored anywhere in the world — regardless of where the servers are located. For European enterprises in BFSI, healthcare, and government, this is not an acceptable risk.
Verdix offers three tiers of EU data hosting: EU Data Residency (standard on all plans, data stored within EU borders), EU Data Sovereignty (premium, dedicated infrastructure subject exclusively to EU jurisdiction with no exposure to non-EU legal access mechanisms), and Private Cloud / On-Premise (enterprise, data never leaves the client's own infrastructure).
Verdix is incorporated in the Netherlands. Operated under Dutch and EU law. Committed to keeping your governance data under European jurisdiction.

The Only Platform That Qualifies
Incorporated in Europe. Governed by European law.
The platforms most enterprises are evaluating for AI governance are incorporated in the United States or, post-Brexit, the United Kingdom. Verdix is incorporated in the Netherlands — inside the EU, subject to the same legal framework as your organisation.
For BFSI, healthcare, and government procurement, this is not a differentiator. It is a shortlist filter.

Regulatory Alignment
Aligned to the EU Cloud Sovereignty Framework.
The European Commission has formalised a Cloud Sovereignty Framework with objective Sovereignty Effectiveness Assurance Levels (SEAL) — a standardised method for enterprises to assess cloud providers on sovereignty, moving from abstract principles to concrete, verifiable metrics.
SEAL has four levels. SEAL-1 covers basic contractual data protection. SEAL-2 — the level adopted in EU Commission procurement as the minimum standard — requires that the provider operates exclusively under EU jurisdiction, with no exposure to non-EU legal access mechanisms. SEAL-3 adds technical sovereignty controls. SEAL-4 requires full on-premise or air-gapped deployment.
Verdix's Tier 2 offering is designed and architected to meet SEAL-2 requirements. Verdix's Tier 3 (Private Cloud / On-Premise) is designed to meet SEAL-3 and SEAL-4 requirements depending on deployment configuration.
EU Commission Cloud Sovereignty Framework, April 2026. SEAL levels are a procurement assessment standard — not a third-party certification scheme.
For BFSI clients, this aligns with ECB and EBA operational resilience guidance and DORA third-party risk requirements. For healthcare clients, it directly addresses GDPR Article 9 obligations. For public sector clients, it meets the EU jurisdiction criterion increasingly embedded in government procurement frameworks.
