The boundary is part of the design
Federal and defence environments may require a sovereign cloud or a fully air-gapped deployment. Enforcement, review and audit records cannot depend on an outside service to function.
Continuous evidence matters
FedRAMP 20x is moving federal cloud assurance toward measurable, machine-readable validation. An attributable trail of AI decisions supports that direction better than an account assembled from periodic paperwork.
Escalate according to risk
Not every output needs to stop for human approval. A governed path can allow low-risk outputs, hold exceptions and route consequential decisions to an authorised person without losing the original record.
