Sovereign hosting
On your soil, named in the contract.
The law already decided where your data lives
Four countries have it on the books, and the facilities to comply exist. The shortage is on the vendor side, where most would rather apply for an exemption than operate outside their home region.

How the commitment is built
Your data, your soil, your control.
-
Sovereign hosting
In your country, or in your region where you choose it. The region is named in the contract.
-
Access follows function
Role-based to the field level. A market-fee clerk cannot query the pension roll.
-
Data minimization by design
The schema has no field for ethnicity, religion or political affiliation. Adding one would take a code change, not an administrator setting.

FAQs
Where does the platform run?
On a server in your country, or in your region where you choose that. The region, the facility and the exit terms go into the deployment contract, so they are not a policy a vendor can revise. It runs offline where connectivity thins and takes mobile money where payments happen.
Whose law governs our data?
Yours. Personal data is encrypted field by field. Access is scoped to the field, so a market-fee clerk cannot query the pension roll. Every read and every write lands in the audit trail, views included. The schema holds what your mandate needs and nothing more; what that includes is settled with your ministry and your data protection authority before go-live, then written into the contract.
How does a pilot start?
With one slice of the mandate, named by your team. It runs against your own records, in your own building. What it recovers is a figure your own finance people can check, and that figure is what your team carries into the tender for the rest.
Which languages does it run in?
It is built for names as your people write them, not for one alphabet. This site runs in seven: English, French, Spanish, Swahili, Arabic, Hausa, Amharic. Your deployment's languages are named by your team.
What happens after go-live?
Support and maintenance terms sit in the deployment contract, covering response times, upgrade duties, and who is on the phone and when. Written before go-live rather than assumed after it, and your team is trained to run the system without us. Verider does not sell incident response or security monitoring; where your ministry needs those, they are procured separately.
How do we buy this?
Through your own process, from expression of interest to formal tender. Where your rules allow it, we will propose terms that take payment out of what the system recovers, so the cost sits against new collections rather than a budget line that is already committed. If the tender still has to be written, a meeting is the fastest way to scope what it should say.
What does it cost?
The build is paid for out of what it recovers, so there is no new budget line to win before the work starts. Terms are set against measured results from your own pilot.
