Architecture
Zekret Architecture
A unified trust fabric combining identity governance, compliance intelligence, and sovereign AI decisioning — deployed across VPC, on-premise, and air-gapped environments.
Reusable credentials, structured attestations, non-PII compliance-state intelligence, deterministic policy evaluation, real-time enforcement, and governed AI in one modular system.

Architecture Overview
Zekret’s layered trust architecture is built for regulated environments that demand privacy-preserving identity, deterministic compliance, sovereign AI, and interoperable enforcement across institutions.
Verify identity without retaining personal data
Evaluate compliance consistently across institutions
Enforce decisions deterministically
Operate within sovereign infrastructures (VPC, on-prem, air-gapped)
Support AI with strict governance and explainability
Interoperate across agencies, operators, and institutions
Principles
Six Pillars of the Trust Fabric
Zero-Retention Identity
No PII, documents, or raw verification data is stored. Credentials are issued once, device-bound, encrypted, and selectively disclosed.
Deterministic Compliance Logic
Every decision is reproducible and audit-ready. Policies are versioned, governed, and universally applied—no heuristic approvals.
Non-PII Risk Intelligence
Sanctions, behavioral, and wallet signals are transformed into structured non-PII compliance-state objects. No sensitive data is shared.
Policy-Aligned AI Governance
Models run in sovereign environments with explainability, auditability, and compliance constraints. AI never overrides policy.
Sovereign Deployment
Deployed in enterprise VPC, private cloud, on-prem clusters, or fully air-gapped networks. No raw data leaves the perimeter.
Interoperability Without Data Sharing
Identity and compliance travel as structured proofs, enabling cross-institution collaboration without exposing raw data.
Architecture Layers
Full Stack, End-to-End
From credential issuance to enforcement, each layer is modular and interoperable—yet deterministic when combined.
Identity Governance
Core Components
- Issued credential
- Attestation structures
- Selective disclosure engine
- Lifecycle management
- Device-bound keys
Outcomes
- Reusable, privacy-preserving identity
- Standardized verification
- Zero PII retention
Compliance Intelligence
Core Components
- Sanctions + watchlists
- Behavioral/operational indicators
- Wallet risk signals
- Jurisdictional eligibility
- Compliance-state outputs
Outcomes
- Uniform non-PII risk evaluation
- Structured compliance-state for policies and enforcement
Policy Governance
Core Components
- Attestation schemas
- Policy Packs (AML, eligibility, RG, AI Act, MiCA)
- Deterministic evaluation
- Compliance-state calculator
- Versioned governance
Outcomes
- Single compliance logic
- No interpretation drift
- Deterministic Allow/Block/Escalate
AI Governance
Core Components
- Local inference (zero egress)
- Explainability traces
- Drift monitoring
- Governance controls
- Policy-aligned constraints
Outcomes
- Auditable, explainable AI
- Outputs that respect policy
- Safe augmentation of compliance workflows
Deterministic Enforcement
Core Components
- Real-time logic
- Immutable decision logs
- Policy-version linking
- Enforcement governance
Outcomes
- Uniform enforcement
- Fully auditable history
- Regulator-ready trust
Integration & Gateway
Core Components
- REST APIs
- Webhooks
- Event streams
- SDKs (web/mobile/server)
- System adapters
Outcomes
- Minimal engineering overhead
- Unified integration path
- Backward compatibility
End-to-End Flow
From Credential to Enforcement
User or entity presents encrypted credential (no PII shared)
Attestations & risk signals evaluated → non-PII compliance-state generated
Policy engine applies AML/eligibility/access rules → deterministic outcome
AI governance augments (optional) with explainable, constrained inference
Enforcement executes Allow / Block / Escalate and logs immutably
Integrations apply the result to onboarding, access, transactions, eligibility
Deployment Models
Dedicated SaaS (Isolated Tenant)
For private operators or mid-sized enterprises needing speed.
Private Cloud / VPC
Most common for finance, gaming, and enterprises requiring sovereignty.
On-Premise Deployment
Preferred by governments, regulators, and critical infrastructure.
Air-Gapped Deployment
Full offline operation with controlled sync for defense and classified systems.
Compliance & Regulatory Alignment
GDPR, privacy-by-design, zero-retention identity
eIDAS-aligned workflows (where applicable)
FATF recommendations, AMLD5/AMLD6, KYC/KYB
Sanctions enforcement (OFAC, UN, EU, HMT)
Government eligibility and inter-agency interoperability
MiCA-aligned digital asset checks and FATF Travel Rule support
EU AI Act (high-risk), NIST AI RMF, model explainability requirements
