Data sovereignty
 & trust

At ellamind, we understand the importance of data sovereignty. Our solutions empower organizations to harness the power of AI while maintaining full control over their data. Designed for Europe. Built for regulated environments.

Your data stays yours

Your data never leaves your control. By deploying ellamind directly within your own infrastructure, we ensure that sensitive information remains secure, isolated, and fully owned by you. No third-party access, no hidden data flows.

EU-first architecture & compliance

Our architecture aligns with EU data protection standards such as GDPR and is built to support highly regulated industries. This EU-first approach ensures legal clarity, regulatory confidence, and long-term compliance .

Transparency and full control

With ellamind, you have clear visibility into how data is processed, how models operate, and how decisions are made. Fine-grained controls, auditable processes, and explainable systems give you control at every stage.

About us

Built for Control, Responsibility and Real-World Deployment  

We design and deploy custom large language models for organizations with specific requirements around data protection, regulation, and domain knowledge. Our mission is to help teams build AI systems that are perfectly tailored to their unique context—technically, legally, and organizationally.

Why Choose a Custom LLM?  

While off-the-shelf models are powerful, they are not designed for every environment. In regulated industries and sensitive domains, organizations require more than just raw capability—they need control, transparency, and predictability.

Our Custom LLMs Enable:
Better alignment with your specific industry language and internal workflows.
Clearer oversight of model behavior and a reduction in potential failure modes.
Deployment models that strictly respect data sovereignty and local regulatory constraints.
