ALETHRA™ Data
Governance Notice

1. Governance Foundation

ALETHRA™ is architected as a jurisdictionally controlled intelligence infrastructure. Data governance is enforced through technical architecture, not policy statements alone.

The platform operates under two formally separated deployment models:

  • Commercial Enterprise Deployment
  • Sovereign Government Deployment

Each mode enforces defined standards for data control, encryption authority, audit integrity, and infrastructure isolation.

Data governance is not configurable by preference. It is enforced by system design.

2. Data Ownership

All client data remains the client's sole property.

ALETHRA™ does not:

  • Claim ownership of client data
  • Sell client data
  • Reuse client data across tenants
  • Use client data to train external or shared models

No cross-customer data commingling occurs at any layer of the system.

3. Jurisdictional Control

Data residency is region-bound and deployment-specific.

Commercial Enterprise deployments operate within designated cloud regions selected in coordination with the client.

Sovereign Government deployments operate within:

  • AWS GovCloud
  • Client-owned AWS Organizations
  • Dedicated sovereign regions
  • Hybrid cloud environments
  • On-premise GPU clusters
  • Fully air-gapped environments

Sovereign activation requires validation of jurisdictional data control, tenant isolation, encryption authority, immutable auditability, and AI independence capability.

No sovereign environment shares multi-tenant infrastructure.

4. Encryption & Key Authority

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Commercial deployments utilize strong encryption standards with enterprise identity enforcement and multi-factor authentication.

Sovereign deployments require Customer Managed Keys (CMK).

Hardware Security Modules (HSM) may be deployed.

Full client key custody is supported.

Vendor decryption authority can be fully eliminated in Sovereign mode.

5. Tenant Isolation

Isolation boundaries are enforced at the infrastructure level.

Each Sovereign deployment includes:

  • Dedicated AWS account
  • Dedicated virtual private cloud
  • Explicitly deny cross-account policies
  • Separate logging account
  • Immutable Infrastructure-as-Code provisioning

Manual configuration is not permitted in sovereign environments.

Commercial deployments enforce tenant isolation with no shared data layers between customers.

6. Zero Trust Identity Enforcement

Identity architecture aligns with Zero Trust principles, as defined in NIST SP 800-207.

Controls include:

  • SAML federation with enterprise or government identity providers
  • Role-based access control
  • Hardware-backed multi-factor authentication
  • Zero-standing privilege
  • Just-in-time role elevation
  • Short-lived session tokens
  • Break-glass logging with expiration
  • Privileged session recording

Persistent administrative credentials are prohibited in sovereign environments.

7. AI Governance & Model Independence

AI operations are governed through controlled, auditable execution pathways.

Commercial Mode:

  • Structured enterprise LLM integration under contractual controls
  • Token ceilings and routing restrictions
  • Region-bound vector storage
  • No cross-tenant reuse

Sovereign Mode:

  • Dedicated GPU infrastructure
  • No outbound telemetry
  • No external API calls
  • No shared model memory
  • Cryptographically hashed model artifacts
  • Documented dataset provenance
  • Reproducible training pipelines
  • Containerized inference engines
  • Logged inference metadata and configuration state snapshots

No model invocation can occur outside logged pathways.

8. Auditability & Logging

Comprehensive logging includes:

  • CloudTrail events
  • Configuration changes
  • Privileged session activity
  • Model invocation metadata
  • Data export tracking

Logs are encrypted, region-bound, and exportable to client SIEM systems.

Optional blockchain anchoring may be enabled for cryptographic integrity.

Audit bypass is technically prevented.

9. Regulatory Alignment

ALETHRA™ architecture supports alignment with:

  • NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5 (Moderate baseline readiness pathways)
  • FedRAMP Moderate readiness pathways
  • ISO/IEC 27001
  • ISO/IEC 27701
  • Jurisdiction-specific sovereignty regulations

Sovereign deployments anticipate formal documentation, including:

  • System Security Plans
  • Security Assessment Reports
  • Plans of Action and Milestones
  • 3PAO assessments
  • Agency Authorization to Operate progression

10. Disaster Recovery & Continuity

Disaster recovery posture includes:

  • Multi-availability-zone deployment
  • Encrypted automated backups
  • Immutable retention policies
  • Annual failover testing

Recovery objectives:

  • RTO: 4 hours for critical systems
  • RPO: 15 minutes for critical systems

Air-gapped variants may operate without outbound internet connectivity and without vendor root access.

11. Data Minimization & Retention

Data collection is limited to operational necessity.

Retention schedules are deployment-specific and defined by contractual agreement or sovereign mandate.

Secure deletion protocols are available upon contract termination or regulatory requirement.

12. No Vendor Privilege Doctrine

In Sovereign mode, ALETHRA™ can operate without:

  • Vendor root access
  • External telemetry
  • External AI dependency
  • Shared infrastructure layers

Operational sovereignty can be absolute.

13. Updates to This Notice

This Data Governance Notice may be updated to reflect architectural evolution, regulatory developments, or certification progression.

Material changes will be documented and dated.
