This is the highest-sovereignty variant of RKP-2 (Off-Chain). Unlike RKP-2 Enhanced EU, which uses OVH-hosted infrastructure, RKP-2 Sovereign EU runs entirely within the customer’s own on-premise EU environment - with optional EBSI anchoring for audit-grade proofs.
Sovereignty Profile
| Component | Provider | Jurisdiction | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Off-chain storage | Customer on-premise | Customer EU facility | Data never leaves the organisation’s infrastructure |
| API processing | Customer on-premise | Customer EU facility | ROOTKey deployed as a containerised workload |
| Blockchain (optional) | EBSI | EU | Selective elevation of critical records to EBSI for audit-grade proofs |
| Sovereignty level | Full EU - Air-gapped capable | 100% customer infrastructure | Maximum data control; no dependency on ROOTKey cloud |
How It Differs Across the RKP-2 Variants
| Property | RKP-2 Standard | RKP-2 Enhanced EU | RKP-2 Sovereign EU |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud provider | Azure / AWS | OVH | None - on-premise |
| Data leaves organisation | Yes | Yes (to OVH) | No |
| API processing location | ROOTKey cloud | ROOTKey OVH | Customer infrastructure |
| Blockchain | None | None | EBSI (optional, selective) |
| Full sovereignty | No | Cloud sovereign | Yes - air-gap capable |
| Deployment model | SaaS | SaaS on OVH | Container / On-Premise |
| Availability | Standard | Contact team | Contact team |
Architecture
Selective EBSI Anchoring
RKP-2 Sovereign EU processes high-frequency data entirely on-premise. For records that require the highest level of audit defensibility - regulatory measurements, safety events, incident records, threshold breaches - the on-premise ROOTKey deployment can selectively elevate those records to EBSI:| Record type | Recommended anchoring |
|---|---|
| Routine sensor readings | Off-chain only (on-premise) |
| Threshold breach events | Selective EBSI anchor |
| Alarm and safety events | Selective EBSI anchor |
| Regulatory measurement records | Selective EBSI anchor |
| Incident records | Selective EBSI anchor |
Regulatory Frameworks Addressed
| Framework | How RKP-2 Sovereign EU helps |
|---|---|
| NIS2 - Critical Infrastructure (highest tier) | On-premise deployment satisfies national sovereignty requirements where cloud infrastructure (even EU) is restricted |
| IEC 62443 - SL 3/SL 4 | Highest Security Level data integrity for IACS environments with strict perimeter requirements |
| EU Energy (classified measurements) | Regulatory measurement data never leaves the operator’s infrastructure |
| Defence-adjacent OT | OT integrity anchoring without any external data dependency |
| Air-gapped environments | EBSI anchoring can be configured for batched outbound-only connectivity - no inbound connection required |
| Healthcare (on-premise ICU/operating) | Patient monitoring data stays within hospital infrastructure |
Deployment Requirements
RKP-2 Sovereign EU is deployed as a containerised workload within the customer’s infrastructure:- Docker or Kubernetes environment on customer-controlled EU infrastructure
- MQTT broker accessible within the customer network
- Optional outbound HTTPS connection to EBSI for selective anchoring (no inbound required)
- Customer-managed storage for off-chain records
