In the financial sector, the adoption of artificial intelligence cannot come at the expense of data security and sovereignty.
Sensitive Information Facing Extraterritorial Laws
Asset Managers handle highly sensitive information on a daily basis: proprietary investment strategies, confidential client data, and portfolio positions. These digital assets are exposed to major risks, particularly legal ones.
The U.S. Cloud Act perfectly illustrates this vulnerability. This legislative framework allows U.S. authorities to access data stored with U.S. Cloud providers, even when physically hosted in Europe. For a European financial player, this exposure represents a dual risk: regulatory non-compliance and loss of strategic control over its assets.
Automating to Focus on Value-Added Activities
Beyond data protection, asset management firms must successfully achieve their digital transformation to gain efficiency and productivity. AI enables them to:
- Optimize the time spent analyzing complex documents (annual reports, Private Equity data rooms, real estate programs)
- Automate regulatory compliance by facilitating the processing of SFDR or PRIIPs documents
- Accelerate decision-making through the generation of clear summaries of essential information
The objective is clear: free teams from repetitive drafting and formatting tasks to allow them to focus fully on higher value-added missions.
A Sovereign Solution with SecNumCloud 3.2 Infrastructure
To address these challenges, OUTSCALE and Mistral AI offer “le Chat” and “AI Studio” on OUTSCALE’s SecNumCloud 3.2 region. This qualification represents the highest level of security for data and intellectual property in France.
OUTSCALE’s infrastructure is based on a sovereign stack: your data remains located in France, under French jurisdiction, thus guaranteeing total control of your strategic assets.
This SecNumCloud 3.2 qualification imposes strict requirements in terms of governance, traceability, and resilience. Every access is audited, every operation is traced, and the infrastructure is designed to resist the most advanced threats. No foreign authority can legally demand access to your information.
Combining Cloud & AI in a Sovereign and Secure Environment
Artificial intelligence is transforming the Asset Management profession. But this technological evolution must not come at the cost of strategic dependence or legal exposure.
By combining the excellence of Mistral AI solutions and the sovereignty guaranteed by OUTSCALE’s SecNumCloud 3.2 infrastructure, Asset Managers can now benefit from the best of both worlds: innovation and total control of their most sensitive assets.
In an uncertain geopolitical context and facing increasingly strict regulatory requirements, choosing sovereign AI is a strategic imperative for financial players who wish to remain competitive while preserving their strategic autonomy.
