- •We will not transmit regulated UAE personal data to un-audited foreign public LLM endpoints.
- •We will not bypass corporate proxy, firewall, or security logging requirements.
- •We will not issue legal compliance certifications—we deliver technical control evidence.
- •We will not store unencrypted customer credentials, API keys, or prompt history in public cloud storage.
Sovereign Cloud & AI Security across UAE Emirates & Free Zones
Service Technical FAQs
Can enterprise AI models be deployed entirely within UAE borders?+
Yes. By utilizing localized Azure UAE or AWS UAE infrastructure, or private on-premises GPU clusters, every component—storage, fine-tuning, inference, and audit logging—remains strictly inside the UAE.
How does the system prevent sensitive company data from being used to train public AI models?+
We deploy dedicated local open-weights models or enterprise hyperscaler endpoints backed by strict zero-data-retention contractual agreements ensuring customer prompts and completion payloads are never logged or used for model training.
What is a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) prompt gateway?+
A DLP prompt gateway is an inline security service that scans user queries and document payloads for sensitive information—such as UAE Civil IDs, credit card numbers, and trade secrets—redacting or anonymizing them before sending data to an inference model.
How do you satisfy Abu Dhabi Digital Authority (ADDA) security requirements?+
We map all infrastructure and data pipelines to ADDA data classification standards, providing private virtual network isolation, encrypted storage, role-based access control, and complete data flow diagrams for formal security review.
What security frameworks do you align your AI control evidence against?+
Our security controls map directly to NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0), ISO/IEC 42001:2023 (AI Management Systems), ISO/IEC 27001, and OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications.
How are encryption keys managed for sovereign AI pipelines?+
All encryption keys are generated and managed using Customer-Managed Keys (CMK) within hardware security modules (HSM) residing in UAE cloud regions. Tech Labs holds no administrative access to your keys.
Can sovereign AI solutions be integrated with corporate single sign-on (SSO)?+
Yes. Integration with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Okta, or SAML/OAuth 2.0 identity providers is standard, enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) and granular role-based access.
What audit logging is produced for compliance reviews?+
The system generates immutable, timestamped logs recording user identity, input prompt hash, DLP redaction logs, model version, output response, and API latency, stored in isolated log repositories.
Is sovereign cloud AI security required for non-government entities?+
While mandatory for government and financial entities, commercial mainland and free-zone businesses processing customer data must comply with UAE PDPL requirements regarding data transfers and storage security.
How long does a sovereign cloud security review and deployment take?+
Security architecture discovery takes 2 to 3 weeks. Full sovereign cloud deployment and compliance control pack generation take between 8 and 14 weeks.
