In regulated industries, data residency is not optional. It is a legal requirement. Sciens designs AI infrastructure to meet it.

Why now

Regulatory obligations are converging in the next 12 months.

Three dated obligations converging on regulated CIOs. Sanctum is designed against all three.

August 2026

EU AI Act, general-purpose obligations

High-risk AI systems must document data lineage, model provenance and human oversight controls. Public API usage may be disqualifying for many in-scope workloads.

European Union
2026 sector guidance

HIPAA AI & SEC Reg S-P

Updated HHS guidance addresses PHI in AI pipelines. SEC Reg S-P amendments require named safeguards for client data in AI systems.

United States
Now in force

Sovereign data residency mandates

UAE, India, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria require regulated data to remain within national borders. Global firms need per-jurisdiction inference, not per-jurisdiction workarounds.

"

We spent two years telling our board that generative AI was not viable under our security posture. The Sanctum architecture allowed us to treat it as a governance decision, not a security concession.

Chief Information Security OfficerGlobal law firm · Reference available under NDA

The pilot moved from signed agreement to first inference on our own hardware in nineteen days. Nothing in our procurement history looks like that.

Chief Technology OfficerAcademic health system · Northeast US

For the first time our compliance team signed off on a generative AI system without requiring a legal exception. The audit trail was the deciding factor.
