CGI Launches Sovereign AI Platform in Finland

CGI Launches Sovereign AI Platform in Finland

As governments and enterprises tighten data sovereignty requirements, secure AI infrastructure is becoming a critical enabler for compliant digital transformation. CGI has introduced a high security sovereign AI platform in Finland, designed to support enterprise and public sector organizations operating under strict regulatory and data protection frameworks. The CGI sovereign AI platform provides a KATAKRI compliant environment, enabling organizations to develop and run AI applications while maintaining full control over sensitive data and workloads.

The platform is delivered from a Finland based data center certified under KATAKRI, the country’s national security auditing criteria. This certification ensures that the infrastructure meets stringent standards across information security, physical safeguards, and administrative controls. For organizations handling classified or sensitive data, such compliance is essential to meet both national and industry specific regulations.

The CGI sovereign AI platform addresses a growing challenge as organizations accelerate AI adoption while navigating complex data governance requirements. Public cloud deployments, while scalable, often raise concerns around data residency and external access. CGI’s approach offers an alternative by keeping data within a controlled, sovereign environment, ensuring that organizations retain ownership and oversight of their AI operations.

Niraj Sood, President for Finland, Poland, and the Baltics at CGI, said, “With CGI’s local proximity model, we are uniquely positioned to partner with clients across industry sectors as they address evolving data protection, security, and sovereignty requirements. Our consultants, experts and engineers work side by side with our clients here in Finland, enabling a deep understanding of their needs, while also drawing on our global capabilities. With the integration of Agentic AI into the enterprise a top-of-mind priority for clients, we act as a trusted advisor: helping clients assess and build the right solution for their specific context, whether in high-security, cloud, or on-premise environments. We are pleased to complement these options with a platform that supports secure and scalable AI adoption where enhanced control and compliance are required.”

The platform supports deployment of modern AI workloads, including multiple large language models, and integrates with existing enterprise systems through OpenAI compatible APIs. Its standardized delivery model is designed to provide predictable costs and scalability, enabling organizations to expand AI capabilities without compromising governance.

Jenni Mikkola, Senior Vice President and Business Unit Leader for Global Technology Operations at CGI Finland, said, “CGI helps clients assess different AI implementation options and select the most suitable approach for each use case. Our sovereign AI platform complements this by enabling organizations to operate data and AI applications within CGI’s data centers in Finland, under client governance and control, in a KATAKRI-certified setting.” She added, “Generative AI offers significant potential for innovation and efficiency, and organizations are currently evaluating different ways to integrate AI into their overall architecture. CGI’s high-security AI platform provides a trusted alternative to public cloud and hybrid solutions, enabling clients to adopt AI quickly and securely while maintaining strong control over their data and environment.”

The CGI sovereign AI platform reflects a broader industry shift toward localized, compliant AI infrastructure. As regulatory scrutiny increases and data sovereignty becomes a strategic priority, platforms that combine advanced AI capabilities with certified security environments are expected to play a key role in enabling secure and scalable AI adoption across both public and private sectors.
