A category, not a feature
Sovereign enterprise architecture for regulated EU institutions
Sovereign enterprise architecture means steering your information system with a tool that keeps your data under European control, prices itself transparently and is built for the compliance constraints you actually face. Archilu is that tool: transparent pricing, unlimited users, EU or on-premise hosting, native FR + EN, and a design aligned with the DORA and CSSF context.
What makes enterprise architecture sovereign
Four properties define the category. They are not promises — they are verifiable characteristics of how Archilu is priced, hosted and built.
Transparent pricing
A public price, no opaque per-seat quotes or hidden costs. You can compare and budget before you ever talk to sales.
EU or on-premise hosting
Operated from Luxembourg with EU hosting, or deployed on-premise so the platform and its data stay within infrastructure you control.
Compliance-first by design
Built with a GDPR-by-design posture and the constraints of regulated finance in mind, including the operational-resilience context of DORA and CSSF supervision.
Native FR + EN
A bilingual platform readable by business, IT, risk and compliance alike — not an English-only tool with a partial translation bolted on.
Why the category matters
The default in the EA market was not built for European, regulated buyers.
Much of the established enterprise architecture tooling was designed around opaque, per-seat licensing and hosting models that ultimately rest outside the European Union. For a bank, an insurer or a regulated service provider in the EU, that creates two structural frictions: cost that scales with adoption, and data control that is harder to demonstrate to a supervisor.
Sovereign enterprise architecture inverts those defaults. The price is public, so a budget owner can evaluate it without a negotiation. Users are unlimited, so the whole organization can adopt the tool without a per-head penalty. And the data stays within the European legal framework — hosted in the EU or on-premise — so control is a property of the deployment, not a contractual reassurance.
Sovereign vs. the incumbent default
Pricing you can see
Incumbent default
Opaque per-seat licensing that grows with every team you onboard, negotiated behind a sales call.
Archilu
A transparent public price with unlimited users, so adoption is never penalized by seat count.
Data under European control
Incumbent default
Platforms whose data ultimately resides with non-EU-resident providers and legal frameworks.
Archilu
EU hosting from Luxembourg, or on-premise deployment, keeping your architecture data within the European legal framework.
Built for the regulated context
Incumbent default
Generic EA tooling that treats compliance and resilience as an afterthought.
Archilu
Designed for regulated institutions, with the architecture artefacts commonly relevant to DORA and CSSF supervision in mind.
We describe the common patterns of the market, not any single named competitor. Your own evaluation should confirm how a given vendor prices, hosts and supports the regulated context.
For the buyer who has to justify it
A sovereign, compliance-first tool is easier to put in front of a CFO and a risk sponsor at the same time. The CFO sees a transparent price with no per-seat surprise as the organization grows. The risk and compliance sponsor sees data that stays within the European framework and architecture documentation that fits the operational-resilience context.
Archilu is an enterprise architecture and documentation tool. It is not legal, regulatory or compliance advice, and the obligations that apply depend on your specific entity, sector and scope.
