Trust & Security

Privacy enforced by architecture, not policy

Most vendors ask you to trust a data-handling policy. Sovra's core design makes the question mostly moot — inference happens on hardware you control, so there's no cloud data flow to write a policy about in the first place. Here's exactly how that works, and where the limits are.

How data flows — by default

No summary, the actual path.

Inference stays local

Prompts, model weights, and generated responses for core assistant flows are processed entirely on the device you deployed — no request leaves the hardware to reach a Sovra or third-party API.

Vectors & logs stay local

RAG embeddings, retrieval indexes, and operational logs are written to storage on your own hardware, not a Sovra-hosted database.

You control any exception

If you explicitly enable an optional integration that calls an external service, you choose the provider and region. Nothing is silently routed off-device.

No training on your data

There is no default pipeline that sends your prompts, documents, or logs anywhere to train a model. See the Privacy Policy for the full terms.

Deployment options this enables

Air-gapped

Because inference doesn't require outbound network access, devices can run in fully air-gapped environments — facilities that cannot have any external connectivity.

EU data residency

Since data doesn't leave the device, it never needs to cross a border in the first place — the strongest form of data residency is data that stays put.

Offline operation

Core assistant, retrieval, and validated command execution all function with no internet connection once a device is deployed and configured.

Where we're straightforward about limits

Trust means telling you what isn't true yet, too.

No third-party certifications yet

Sovra does not currently hold formal certifications like ISO 27001 or SOC 2. Our privacy posture today is architectural (data locality by design), not certified. If your procurement process requires a specific certification, tell us — info@sovraai.de.

Hardware security is yours to manage

Sovra doesn't replace standard device security practice — disk encryption, physical access control, and OS patching on your hardware remain your responsibility, same as any on-prem system.

Optional integrations are opt-in, and their trust boundary is whatever you connect to

If you wire Sovra to an external system, that system's own security posture applies to that integration — we can't retroactively secure a third party.
