A7_IDENTITY_SOVEREIGNTY
Identity Sovereignty
The platform supports customer-controlled identity, customer-controlled key material, and customer-controlled data residency rather than vendor-controlled identity that produces structural customer lock-in.
Buyer consequence
The customer never loses control of their identity provider, key material, or data residency selection; switching cost stays bounded.
AIVAON architectural satisfaction
BYOK on Enterprise and Sovereign SKUs, customer IdP federation, residency selection per market cell, and DPoP-bound API access with passkey-first sign-in.
Competitor failure mode
Vendor-IdP-only platforms convert their identity store into a switching-cost moat that customers experience as lock-in.
