Every cloud analytics tool
moves your data.
ADAT never does.

When you upload data to a cloud analytics platform, that data travels to an external server — owned, operated, and logged by someone else. For banks, hospitals, government agencies, and any organisation with sensitive data, that is not a preference. It is a legal and ethical line. ADAT brings the intelligence to your data. Your data stays exactly where it is.

Sending data to answer
a question is a design choice.
Not a requirement.

Cloud analytics tools are built on a simple architecture — your data travels to their servers, their models process it, and the answer comes back. That works fine for non-sensitive data. For financial records, patient data, government information, and proprietary business data, it creates exposure that no privacy policy can fully eliminate.

The regulatory problem

HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, and financial services regulations impose strict requirements on where sensitive data is processed and stored. Cloud analytics tools require careful legal review before any sensitive data can be uploaded. ADAT eliminates that question entirely.

The sovereignty problem

Data processed on cloud servers may be subject to the laws of the country where those servers are located — regardless of where your organisation operates. ADAT processes data where it lives, under the legal jurisdiction you control.

The breach surface problem

Every external system your data touches is an additional breach surface. Cloud analytics vendors have been breached. Their subprocessors have been breached. ADAT removes that surface entirely — your data never leaves your infrastructure.

Cloud analytics tools vs
ADAT secure deployment.

Security Characteristic Cloud analytics tools ADAT
Data location during analysis Vendor cloud servers — external Your infrastructure — never moves
On-premises deployment Rarely — with significant overhead Full capability on your own servers
Air-gapped deployment Not available Available — zero external network required
Private cloud (your AWS/Azure) Not available Yes — deploy in your own cloud account
Desktop / offline operation Not available Yes — full capability, no internet required
Data breach surface Vendor + subprocessors + network transit Zero external surface
Regulatory compliance Requires legal review per use case Data never leaves — compliance simplified
Your governance policies apply Partially — vendor policies also apply Fully — your infrastructure, your rules

Your data belongs
where you put it.
