Sovereignty is a claim about a line.Here is the line.
Your model runs on the aKillion hypervisor inside your own environment. Nothing goes out to a shared service and nothing you put in improves a product somebody else is buying. That is a property of how it is built rather than a promise about how it is operated, and the difference is worth drawing.
Illustrative diagram of the deployment boundary. Compliance posture and any certifications should be confirmed against current attestation documents before you rely on them.
Four questions, and the mechanism behind each answer.
Security reviews do not turn on adjectives. They turn on whether an answer describes something the architecture makes true or something the vendor has undertaken to keep doing. Each answer below is followed by which of the two it is.
This is the load bearing answer. Everything else on this page is a consequence of it. There is no outbound call carrying a prompt, so there is no outbound call to secure, monitor or trust.
Not a policy commitment that could be revised in a future version of the terms. A property of an architecture with no route from your environment into a shared model.
An agent inherits the role of whoever it acts for. Refusal is structural rather than behavioural, which means it does not depend on the model choosing correctly under pressure.
A platform that makes departure difficult is telling you something about its confidence in the rest of the product. This one treats leaving as a supported operation with a button.
Six of them, and where each one is enforced.
The right hand column is the point of this section. A control enforced in the model is a behaviour, and behaviours can be talked out of. A control enforced in the platform or at the boundary is a property, and properties cannot.
Nothing on this list is enforced in the model. That is deliberate. Asking a model to decline is a request. Putting the check underneath it is a constraint, and only one of those two survives a determined prompt.
Every automated action is written to an audit trail with what ran, what it touched, what it produced and under whose authority, written to be read afterwards by a person rather than parsed by a tool.
Leaving is a supported operation, not a negotiation.
This is the least comfortable section to write and the most useful one to read, because how a platform behaves at the end tells you more than anything it says at the beginning.
- Every record, in full, in an open format
- The document library, versioned as it stands
- The audit trail for the whole period you were here
- Your automation rules, written out so they can be rebuilt
- Your scorecards, templates and terms
Whenever you want, without asking. Not a support ticket, not a call with an account manager, and not a clause somebody has to go and find. A platform that makes departure difficult is telling you something about its confidence in the rest of the product.
The boundary shows up in what agents may do.
Bring your security questionnaire.
The real one, with the questions your last vendor answered badly. We will go through it on the call and tell you plainly which answers are architecture and which are policy.
