Civitas GaaS vs. Traditional SaaS
Architectural Comparison
Governance-as-a-Service: Data Sovereignty by Design
Overview
Most SaaS vendors ask you to trust them with your data. They ingest your logs, process your customer interactions on their servers, and store your secrets in their database. For enterprise AI governance, this creates massive new regulatory liabilities. CIVITAS operates on a Governance-as-a-Service (GaaS) model.
Technical Comparison Matrix
| Dimension | Traditional SaaS Vendors | CIVITAS GaaS Architecture |
|---|---|---|
| Data Boundary | Ingests and stores raw payload data on third-party servers. | Zero-payload storage: payload stays on your servers; only cryptographic hashes enter the vault. |
| Deployment | Forced cloud proxy routing. | Local sidecar / edge native: runs directly inside your cluster or container. |
| Pricing Model | User seat licenses plus inflated compute markups. | Predictable infrastructure pricing: base gateway plus per-system fixed rate. |
| Evidentiary Weight | Simple application log files (easily altered). | Cryptographic attestations: SHA3-256 hash-chained, time-locked court evidence. |
