Data Sovereignty
Research data remains within clearly defined infrastructure and jurisdictions. OVAITY is designed around Swiss-hosted infrastructure to support data sovereignty for sensitive research.
Peek around
Four doors. No wrong picks.
OVAITY combines secure infrastructure, FAIR data management and the OVAITY TRACE™ Framework to create a foundation for trustworthy AI-native research.
Secure by design. FAIR by design. TRACEable by design.
Trust architecture
TRACE
Trustworthy AI-native research
FAIR DATA MANAGEMENT
Findable · Accessible · Interoperable · Reusable
SECURE INFRASTRUCTURE
Protected · Governed · Sovereign
TRACE builds on a foundation of secure infrastructure and FAIR data management.
Scientific AI is increasingly able to search, analyse, transform and act on research data. That creates enormous opportunity — but also a new requirement: scientific work must remain understandable, governed and connected to evidence.
OVAITY approaches this through three layers of trust.
SECURE
Protect the research.
FAIR
Make the data usable.
TRACE
Make the research trustworthy.
Foundation 01
Protect the research before AI ever touches it.
Security is the lowest foundational layer supporting everything above it. OVAITY is built around governed access, Swiss-hosted infrastructure and encryption so scientific work can remain protected as AI becomes part of the research process.
Research data remains within clearly defined infrastructure and jurisdictions. OVAITY is designed around Swiss-hosted infrastructure to support data sovereignty for sensitive research.
Users, services and AI agents only receive access to the data and capabilities they are authorised to use — through role-based permissions and project-level controls.
Research data is protected in transit and at rest, with clear separation between organisations and workspaces.
Organisations remain in control of access, integrations, AI permissions and approval requirements within their research environment.
Foundation 02
Trustworthy AI depends on scientific data that can be found, understood and reused. OVAITY is designed to support the FAIR Guiding Principles throughout the research lifecycle.
FAIR sits above Security and below TRACE — structuring scientific data so trustworthy research becomes possible.
Research objects are organised with context and metadata so humans and machines can discover them.
Data access remains governed, while authorised users and systems can retrieve the information they need.
Structured data, integrations and shared context help information move between tools, workflows and agents.
Provenance, metadata and scientific context preserve the meaning required to reuse research outputs.
The OVAITY TRACE™ Framework
FAIR defines how scientific data should be managed. TRACE extends trust from the data itself to the experiments, analyses, AI agents, decisions and conclusions surrounding it.
TRACE builds on secure infrastructure and FAIR data management to define how trustworthy AI-native research should operate.
Know where it came from.
Every dataset, experiment, transformation, analysis, AI action and decision should have a verifiable origin.
Examples
Know how it was produced.
Research should preserve enough context to understand, reconstruct and repeat how results were generated.
Examples
Know who — or what — did it.
Human and AI actions should remain attributable.
Examples
Autonomy within boundaries.
AI agents should operate within explicit permissions, datasets, tools and approval requirements.
Examples
Know what supports the conclusion.
Scientific claims and AI outputs should remain connected to the underlying evidence.
Examples
How the layers connect
TRACE is not replacing FAIR. TRACE extends FAIR principles from scientific data into the broader AI-native research process.
TRACE
Trustworthy Research Process · Humans + AI + Decisions + Evidence
FAIR
Scientific Data Layer · Findable · Accessible · Interoperable · Reusable
SECURITY
Infrastructure Layer · Protection · Governance · Sovereignty
Security protects the environment.
FAIR structures the data.
TRACE governs the research process.
TRACE builds on secure infrastructure and FAIR data management.
Product implementation
OVAITY capabilities are designed so secure infrastructure, FAIR data management and TRACE principles show up in everyday research work — not only in policy language.
Outputs stay linked to source data, methods, versions, decisions and rationale.
Analysis workflows and generated outputs remain connected to project context.
Role-based access, permissions, approvals and audit logs support governed research work.
Projects, studies, experiments, files and collaborators live in one structured environment.
Designed to connect research tools and systems while preserving shared scientific context.
Preserves relationships, provenance and decisions so knowledge remains reusable over time.
OVAITY is building an environment where scientific data remains governed, research remains reproducible and AI remains connected to evidence.
Secure by design. FAIR by design. TRACEable by design.
