Data Sovereignty Maturity Assessment
You own your data.
Can you prove you control it?
Score your organization across the five elements that decide data sovereignty, then show you which gaps to close first
10 questions. 3 minutes. Instant score.
Why location is the wrong question
Most sovereignty conversations stop at where data is stored. But a regulator will ask which laws reach your data through your vendors. An acquirer will ask what it takes to move your platform. An auditor will ask what happened to one record last March. Storage location answers none of these. Control does: logic that moves with you, evidence on demand, and an architecture that limits what leaves your environment. With AI now querying company data daily, the same test applies to every model your teams use.
What the assessment measures
The assessment scores five elements with two questions each. Every answer earns 0, 1 or 2 points, so each element scores out of 4 and your total lands between 0 and 20:
Residency
Portability
Evidence
Data minimization by design
AI inside the perimeter
The result: your stage, a score for each element, the gaps to close first with concrete steps for each, and a PDF you can share with your team.
From score to plan
Every gap comes with specific actions. These include bringing hand-maintained documentation under automated lineage, moving sensitive workloads onto your own compute, storage and keys, and grounding AI in the business rules your dashboards use. A 30-minute sovereignty review with a Timextender specialist helps you decide what to fix first.
The Timextender Data Platform follows the same principles. Business logic is stored as metadata, separate from storage, so your data solution deploys to a new cloud, hybrid or on-prem target without a rebuild. Lineage and documentation are generated from that same metadata. Processing can run inside your own tenant, and Timextender does not retain your data beyond what each capability you enable requires.
"We were able to deploy our Timextender solution into production on Azure SQL Database Managed Instance in a matter of weeks. We immediately realized a 49% cost savings and a 25-30% performance improvement." — John Steele, General Manager of Business Technology, Komatsu Australia
Frequently Asked Questions
It scores five elements of data sovereignty: residency, portability, evidence, data minimization by design, and AI inside the perimeter. Each element gets two questions, for a total score between 0 and 20.
About three minutes. There are ten multiple-choice questions, and your score and PDF report are generated as soon as you finish.
No. The assessment is a starting point, not a compliance determination. Which regulatory obligations apply to your organization depends on your sector and circumstances.
No. Sovereignty is about control, portability and proof. Organizations can reach the Sovereign stage in public cloud, on-premises or a hybrid of the two.
About Timextender
Timextender offers the Timextender Data Platform, a unified platform with four modules: Data Integration, Data Enrichment, Data Quality, and Orchestration. The modules operate independently today as standalone products, and we are actively unifying them into a cohesive web app, eventually connected by shared metadata across the platform.
Timextender helps teams build AI-ready data using metadata-driven automation across any data source, while supporting deployment across cloud, hybrid, or on-prem environments.
