The SOVERN Protocol establishes a common foundation for the digital execution of European regulations. It provides the standards, interfaces, and governance framework needed to ensure that regulatory code is consistent, transparent, and trustworthy across implementations.
Unlike traditional software approaches, the protocol separates regulatory logic from implementation details, allowing different systems to interoperate while maintaining compliance with the underlying legal requirements.
By creating a shared execution layer for regulations, the SOVERN Protocol enables governments, businesses, and technology providers to build solutions that work together seamlessly—reducing fragmentation, increasing efficiency, and ensuring consistent regulatory outcomes.
Regulations are inherently distributed systems that must function consistently across different organizations, jurisdictions, and technical environments. A protocol approach ensures that regulatory execution remains coherent and trustworthy across this distributed landscape.
The SOVERN Protocol provides the common language and standards that enable regulatory systems to communicate, interoperate, and maintain compliance with the underlying legal requirements, regardless of the specific implementation details.
See how the SOVERN Protocol components work together to enable digital execution of regulations.
A set of standards and interfaces that enable different regulatory systems to exchange data and logic in a consistent manner.
A runtime environment that processes regulatory logic against real-world data to determine compliance status and required actions.
A structured representation of regulatory requirements that captures the relationships between concepts, obligations, and compliance pathways.
A system for establishing and verifying the authenticity and integrity of regulatory code and its execution.
The SOVERN Protocol consists of several interconnected components that work together to enable the digital execution of regulations.
A structured representation of regulatory requirements that captures the relationships between concepts, obligations, and compliance pathways.
A runtime environment that processes regulatory logic against real-world data to determine compliance status and required actions.
A set of standards and interfaces that enable different regulatory systems to exchange data and logic in a consistent manner.
A system for establishing and verifying the authenticity and integrity of regulatory code and its execution.
Specialized interfaces that enable different stakeholders to interact with the protocol according to their specific needs and permissions.
Systems for collecting and analyzing data on regulatory performance to enable continuous improvement of both regulations and their implementation.
The SOVERN Protocol can be implemented in various ways depending on the specific needs and constraints of different stakeholders.
The process of implementing the SOVERN Protocol involves several key steps that ensure regulatory logic is accurately translated into executable code.
Legal experts analyze the regulation to identify requirements, obligations, and compliance pathways.
The regulatory requirements are mapped into a structured knowledge graph with explicit relationships.
Regulatory logic is formalized into machine-executable rules with clear inputs and outputs.
The implementation is verified against the original regulatory text and validated with test cases.
The protocol implementation is deployed and integrated with existing systems and workflows.
The SOVERN Protocol can be implemented through various models depending on organizational needs and technical constraints.
A fully managed implementation hosted in European cloud infrastructure with API access.
A self-hosted implementation within an organization's own infrastructure for maximum control.
A combination of cloud and on-premises components to balance flexibility and control.
Protocol components embedded directly within existing software systems and platforms.
The SOVERN Protocol delivers significant benefits to all stakeholders in the regulatory ecosystem.
