CGI has introduced a high-security sovereign artificial intelligence platform in Finland designed to support enterprise and public sector organizations that require strict data protection and compliance.
The platform is deployed in a data center and is aligned with KATAKRI, the country’s national security auditing criteria, enabling organizations to develop and operate AI applications within a controlled environment, CGI said Monday.
What Does CGI’s Sovereign AI Platform Provide?
The platform is designed to address growing demand for secure AI adoption as organizations manage data sovereignty, compliance and security requirements.
It supports deploying AI applications using multiple large language models and integrates with existing systems via an OpenAI-compatible application programming interface. The offering also provides a standardized delivery model intended to support scalability and cost predictability.
The environment is delivered through CGI’s high-security hybrid service, which meets KATAKRI standards covering information, physical and administrative security for sensitive workloads.
How Does the Platform Support AI Adoption?
“Generative AI offers significant potential for innovation and efficiency, and organizations are currently evaluating different ways to integrate AI into their overall architecture,” said Jenni Mikkola, senior vice president and business unit leader for global technology operations at CGI Finland. “CGI’s high-security AI platform provides a trusted alternative to public cloud and hybrid solutions, enabling clients to adopt AI quickly and securely while maintaining strong control over their data and environment.”
How Does This Fit Into CGI’s Broader AI and Space Capabilities?
The platform launch aligns with CGI’s broader work in artificial intelligence, data platforms and mission systems.
Earlier in March, CGI partnered with the Finnish Meteorological Institute on a European Space Agency-funded project to support Arctic satellite measurement verification. The effort includes developing an AI-supported information system to help process large volumes of satellite data and improve the reliability of climate and environmental monitoring.
The company has also expanded partnerships focused on AI-enabled situational awareness. In February, CGI signed an agreement with Vantor to develop spatial intelligence capabilities that combine AI, edge computing and space-based data to support defense and civil missions.
In 2025, CGI secured a five-year, $84 million contract with the U.K. Ministry of Defence to deliver the Borealis command, control and data processing system to the UK Space Agency. The system is designed to improve monitoring and protection of space assets by integrating data from multiple sources to support operational decision-making.
