The Only Platform That
Operationalizes
Digital Sovereignty.
Other tools measure sovereignty. DSIP operationalizes it — embedding it into your continuous governance, procurement, and decision-making cycles. Seven integrated modules. Automatic jurisdiction detection, third-country transfer risk surfacing, and EU AI Act alignment. Built for governments and institutions where sovereignty is not a report, it is an operational posture.
Sovereignty is not a report.
It is an operational posture.
Every other tool produces a sovereignty finding. DSIP operationalizes digital sovereignty — embedding it into continuous governance, procurement, compliance, and strategic planning cycles. Seven integrated modules translate complex multi-domain risk into clear, board-ready intelligence that drives action, not filing.
No comparable platform automatically operationalizes extra-territorial jurisdiction risk, third-country data transfer exposure, and EU AI Act obligations in a single continuous loop. DSIP does.
The DSIP Operationalization Cycle
Robust
Calibrated assessment questions across all modules
7
Integrated modules. One unified sovereignty platform
30
Countries benchmarked across 5 sovereignty dimensions
6
Technology stack layers mapped for foreign dependency & legal exposure
Operationalizing every sovereign risk domain.
Each module delivers a distinct, statistically calibrated assessment that is immediately actionable. Together, they operationalize the full spectrum of digital sovereignty — not as a one-time audit, but as a continuous institutional capability.
Module 01
DDSAT
Digital & Data Sovereignty Assessment Tool
The gold standard for digital sovereignty assessment. DDSAT applies a proprietary, statistically calibrated methodology across the full spectrum of sovereign risk — legal alignment, encryption key control, infrastructure sovereignty, data governance, AI exposure, vendor dependency, and jurisdiction exposure — producing a verified Digital Sovereignty Index (DSI) score. A single, defensible measure of national sovereignty posture that withstands ministerial, board-level, and regulatory scrutiny.
- A comprehensive set of calibrated indicators across 5 pillars and 16 domains
- Automatic GDPR third-country transfer risk flagging by domain
- Legal framework gap analysis built into every pillar output
- DSI score exportable for board-level and regulatory reporting
Module 02
AISG
AI & Emerging Tech Sovereignty Governance
Most AI governance frameworks were built for corporations. AISG was built for nations. The first assessment platform purpose-built for governments navigating AI sovereignty — evaluating foundation model risk, training data provenance, inference infrastructure control, and algorithmic accountability across every critical dimension. EU AI Act obligations and African Union Continental AI Strategy alignment are computed automatically from assessment responses.
- Holistic analysis across key AI sovereignty dimensions
- EU AI Act high-risk classification detected automatically
- Foundation model dependency and training data provenance evaluated
- African Union AI Strategy alignment score computed from responses
- AI Sovereignty Index with minister-ready remediation roadmap
Module 03
VSCAN
Vendor Sovereignty Scanner
Your vendors have access to your most sensitive systems. VSCAN tells you exactly how sovereign that access is — automatically. Extra-territorial jurisdiction exposure is detected per-vendor and surfaced with the exact legal instrument triggering the risk: CLOUD Act, FISA, Chinese Data Security Law, or Russian Federal Law. GDPR third-country transfer obligations are flagged automatically when vendor headquarters or data processing falls outside adequate-protection jurisdictions.
- Extra-territorial jurisdiction detected per vendor — CLOUD Act, FISA, state-access laws
- Third-country transfer risk flagged automatically with GDPR legal basis requirement
- Critical risk dimensions: jurisdiction, data access rights, contracts, continuity, dependency, alternatives
- Quantified Vendor Sovereignty Score and complete Vendor Risk Register
- DORA ICT third-party risk obligations triggered where applicable
- NIS2 supply chain risk flags for critical entity vendors
Module 04
DSAT-Live
Continuous Sovereignty Monitoring
Sovereignty posture is not a point-in-time measurement. DSAT-Live aggregates all module outputs into a unified Sovereignty Command Centre — with live KPI tracking, automated sovereignty alerts when posture degrades below thresholds, and integrated remediation tracking. Every trend snapshot is timestamped and persistent, giving decision-makers a defensible longitudinal record of sovereignty posture evolution.
- Live composite Sovereignty KPI dashboard across all modules
- Automated alerts on posture degradation, new jurisdiction exposures, and regulatory triggers
- Persistent trend snapshots — full sovereignty posture history
- Integrated remediation tracker with ownership and status
- Full PDF, Executive Summary PDF, and JSON export on demand
Three additional sovereign domains. No blind spots.
DDSAT, AISG, and VSCAN cover the core. These three modules close the gaps that every other platform ignores.
DPI/DPG
Digital Public Infrastructure & Digital Public Goods
Holistic analysis across key pillars and domains. Assesses the sovereignty posture of foundational public digital infrastructure — identity systems, payment rails, data exchanges, and interoperability layers — and evaluates the role of Digital Public Goods in reducing foreign proprietary dependency. Produces a DPI Sovereignty Index with domain-level gap analysis and remediation priorities.
SOVEX
Extended Sovereignty Assessment
Holistic diagnostic across sovereignty dimensions extending beyond the DDSAT core — including cybersecurity autonomy, standards participation, interoperability governance, talent sovereignty, and international cooperation. SOVEX surfaces strategic interdependencies that surface nowhere else: which bilateral agreements constrain procurement decisions, and which multilateral obligations create unexpected regulatory exposure.
Pressure Zones
Strategic Sovereignty Pressure Zones
A set of strategic sovereignty levers, each evaluated for urgency and proximity to threshold. Every Pressure Zone generates prioritized next steps with ownership assignments, timelines, and cross-module linkages. Pressure Zones convert raw assessment data into an actionable Sovereignty Action Agenda, structured for immediate board decision-making rather than further analysis.
From assessment to
operationalized action.
Assessment data that does not drive decisions is noise. DSIP’s Intelligence Layer transforms every module output into operationalized intelligence — benchmarked, mapped, roadmapped, and briefed — ready for the minister’s desk, the board room, and the operations team simultaneously.
Sovereignty Benchmarking
30-country benchmark across 5 sovereignty dimensions. Rankings, dimension-level gap analysis, leader profiles, and a full PDF benchmark report. Switzerland #1 globally (80.9), Sweden #2 (79.7), Estonia #3 (79.3). Know exactly where you stand — and exactly how far the leaders are ahead.
Technology Dependency Map
Six-layer visualisation of your technology stack from hardware to data identity — with jurisdiction flags, lock-in scores, concentration risk detection, and foreign control alerts. 40+ vendor-to-jurisdiction mappings. CLOUD Act, GDPR, and state-access exposure surfaced per layer. Interactive Plotly map with full PDF export.
Sovereignty Roadmap Builder
Generates a full Sovereignty Roadmap from all six data sources simultaneously — Timeline view, By Source view, Tracker view, and Custom view. Initiatives are auto-generated from assessment data and auto-invalidated when VSCAN or Pressure Zone data changes. Full PDF export for government planning cycles.
Executive Briefing Generator
Minister-level sovereignty posture briefing generated automatically from all module data. RAG posture indicator, current situation analysis, top risks, decisions required, and a single headline recommendation — in a single PDF that a minister or board chair can brief from without prior technical context.
Technology Dependency Map — 6-Layer Risk View
Each layer scored for foreign jurisdiction exposure, CLOUD Act applicability, third-country transfer risk, and lock-in severity. Visualised as an interactive six-layer Plotly map within DSIP.
30-Country Sovereignty Benchmark — Top 5
30 countries across 5 dimensions: Digital Sovereignty (DDSAT), AI Governance (AISG), Digital Public Infrastructure, Extended Sovereignty, and Vendor Independence. Your score placed against all 30 countries with gap analysis and leader profiles.
Extra-territorial jurisdiction.
Third-country transfer risk.
Operationalized automatically.
No other sovereignty platform operationalizes legal exposure in real time. DSIP’s Legal Exposure Engine identifies every vendor, every stack layer, and every data flow that falls under foreign jurisdiction — surfacing the exact legal instrument triggering the risk and what your obligations are under GDPR, DORA, NIS2, and the EU AI Act. Automatically. Continuously. Operationally.
Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction Detection
Automatically identifies which of your vendors, cloud providers, and technology systems fall under foreign jurisdiction — regardless of where their servers are physically located. Jurisdiction follows the law, not the datacenter.
- US CLOUD Act — applies to any US-headquartered entity or subsidiary
- UK Investigatory Powers Act — Five Eyes access obligations
- Chinese Data Security Law — PRC state access to Chinese-owned entities
- Russian Federal Law 374-FZ — data localisation and access obligations
- Five Eyes (US/GB/CA/AU/NZ) — intelligence sharing framework coverage
Third-Country Transfer Risk
GDPR Chapter V restricts transfers of personal data to third countries without adequate protection. DSIP surfaces these obligations automatically — per vendor, per layer, per data category — and identifies the legal basis required if the transfer is to continue lawfully.
- GDPR Art. 44 — general principle: adequacy decision required
- GDPR Art. 46 — appropriate safeguards: SCCs, BCRs, binding decisions
- GDPR Art. 49 — derogations for specific situations
- Schrems II — surveillance law overrides contractual guarantees
- EU–US Data Privacy Framework — adequacy status and limits
Multi-Framework Regulatory Alignment
Every DSIP report is simultaneously checked against all five regulatory frameworks. Obligations, gaps, and required actions are surfaced per framework — so decision-makers can act on a single unified compliance and sovereignty picture, not five separate audit trails.
- EU AI Act — high-risk system detection, conformity assessment triggers
- GDPR — data sovereignty, transfer risk, controller obligations
- DORA — ICT third-party risk, concentration risk, contractual requirements
- NIS2 — critical entity obligations, supply chain security, incident reporting
- AU AI Strategy — African Union continental AI governance alignment

No platform operationalizes sovereignty like this.
DSIP was invented from a single observation: governments and institutions urgently needed to operationalize digital sovereignty — not audit it once and file a report. No tool existed that could do it comprehensively, continuously, and with regulatory precision. Gallo Fall built it. TALISMAN Cybersecurity delivers it.
The only platform that operationalizes sovereignty
Every competitor produces a sovereignty report. DSIP operationalizes sovereignty — embedding it into continuous institutional cycles: governance, procurement, regulatory compliance, and strategic planning. The difference is not features. It is the operational posture that results.
Automatic jurisdiction and transfer risk detection
No analyst manually maps jurisdiction exposure. DSIP’s Legal Exposure Engine computes it automatically from vendor data and technology stack inputs — per layer, per vendor, per framework.
Built for governments, not adapted from corporate tools
Every question, every scoring weight, every regulatory mapping was designed for public-sector decision-makers — ministers, CIOs, national security officials — not retrofitted from enterprise GRC software.
Continuous intelligence, not annual audits
DSAT-Live monitors sovereignty posture continuously. Alerts trigger on posture degradation. Trend snapshots persist. The Sovereignty Action Agenda updates as reality changes, not as the audit cycle permits.
Global & Global South ready
30-country benchmarking includes leading Global North sovereigns and emerging Global South leaders. AU AI Strategy alignment, DPI/DPG assessment, and multilateral cooperation analysis are native — not afterthoughts.
Built for institutions where sovereignty is non-negotiable.
01
Central Government
Ministries of ICT, Finance, Defence, Justice, and national security agencies requiring verified sovereignty posture reports with the regulatory evidence base to inform policy, procurement, and legislative decisions at the highest levels. The Executive Briefing Generator produces a minister-ready document from every assessment cycle.
02
Critical Infrastructure
Energy, telecommunications, financial services, and public health operators managing sovereign risk across complex vendor ecosystems under DORA, NIS2, and sector-specific obligations. DSIP surfaces the exact ICT third-party concentration risks and extra-territorial exposures that regulators will interrogate — before they do.
03
Development Partners
International organisations, bilateral partners, and multilateral institutions supporting digital sovereignty capacity-building across Africa, the Global South, and emerging digital economies — who need a rigorous, independent, and benchmarked measure of progress that goes beyond compliance checklists and activity reports.
