Your data. Your region.
Documented per tool.
77% of enterprises now factor an AI vendor's country of origin into procurement (Deloitte, Jan 2026). Axis is the only operations layer where every tool's residency, hosting region, and model origin is documented in your admin UI — not on a marketing page.
Why now
Sovereign AI is no longer a public-sector concern.
83% of enterprises rate sovereign AI as at least moderately important to strategic planning. 43% rate it very or extremely important. Across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC the question is no longer whether your AI vendor is sovereign-ready — it's whether they can prove it per tool, per region, on demand.
Most AI products bury this in a SOC2 PDF. Axis surfaces it in the admin dashboard, in the worker bundle YAML, and in the per-tool tooltip your operator sees every time a tool fires.

What we document
Every tool. Every region. Every model.
When an auditor asks "where does this AI call go" — you answer in seconds, not days.
Data residency
Per-tenant region pin. Database, vault, file storage, audit logs, vector index, and image cache all colocated. No silent cross-region replication.
Model country of origin
Each tool declares the model provider and its training jurisdiction (e.g., Anthropic · US, Mistral · FR, DreamShaper · community/OpenRAIL-M).
Hosting region per call
LLM endpoint URLs pinned to your region. Inference traces in the audit log include the region header from every response.
Sub-processor register
Auto-generated from your enabled tools. Updates the moment you bind a new capability. Exported as GDPR Art. 28(4) sub-processor list on demand.
Egress controls
Per-region allowlist. Operator approval gate for any tool whose target endpoint sits outside the pinned region. Logged in Axis's immutable decision trail.
Cross-jurisdictional routing
When you operate in multiple regions, our Chief Compliance Officer worker enforces region-specific rules (GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, PDPA, LGPD) on each request.
The answer to "where does this run?" shouldn't take a week.
Sovereign-pinned is available today on Axis Pro and Concierge. Air-gapped on-prem is custom-scoped.
