Running GRC in the UAE: data residency without compromise
How a dedicated, in-region environment — data, backups, keys and AI models included — lets UAE organisations adopt AI-native GRC.
For many organisations in the UAE, the first question about a GRC platform is not what it does but where it runs. With the PDPL and sector regulators setting clear expectations, residency is not optional.
Everything in country
Vigil8 runs each customer in a dedicated environment in their chosen region. For UAE customers that means the database, files, search, backups and encryption keys stay in the UAE — and so do the AI models, deployed for the customer in region.
AI without exporting your data
Prompts and answers are processed in region and never used to train a model. Every AI action is kept in an encrypted ledger in the customer's own environment, readable by their auditors.
Provable, not promised
- A tamper-evident audit trail, exportable in signed form.
- No standing access for our staff — support access is granted by you, time-limited and recorded.
- At exit, deletion by destroying the encryption keys, with a certificate.
