Sovereign Assurance & Attestation (SAA)
Assurance and attestation of software versions, their controls and their evidence
The assurance and attestation programme, born from the internal acceptance arc, binds a software version to its controls, its evidence and the conditions of its qualification; it closed on the development line on 28 September 2026. Its envisaged product evolution keeps the admission decision in the hands of each organisation.
SAA aims to make verifiable the identity of a software version, the controls applied to it and the evidence that supports its qualification.
SAA establishes the evidence; the operator keeps the decision.
- Assurance
- technical confidence supported by controls and evidence
- Attestation
- a statement attributed to an issuer about a precise subject and policy
- Sovereign
- the organisation keeps control of its trust policy and of its admission decision

Closed on the line: the closing commit was qualified locally, reviewed by a separate reviewer, integrated, and passed every hosted check before and after integration. Earlier failures stay on the record.
Read the closureWhat the name does not mean
- Not a state certification, an absolute guarantee or a universal authorisation to deploy.
- Attestation and the capability to deploy remain distinct: a passport attests a result; the client or the node decides admission locally.
- The public name is proposed for the future capability; in the archives the reference keeps its historical meaning.
