Your Data. Your Jurisdiction. Your Control.
Every aspect of the Argus platform is designed for European digital sovereignty β from EU-only cloud infrastructure to per-nation data isolation, open-source commitment, and contribution to the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base.
Sovereignty Principles
Non-negotiable commitments to European digital sovereignty.
Per-Nation Data Isolation
Every nation operates within its own organisation scope with enforced data boundaries. The organisation_id field provides absolute isolation at the database level β operational data never crosses national boundaries without explicit COI-scoped sharing agreements.
- Organisation-scoped database isolation
- National data residency enforcement at infrastructure level
- Cross-border data sharing only through explicit COI agreements
- Configurable data retention per national policy
EU-Only Cloud Infrastructure
