🔒 Secure ML Labs: Why Compliance Starts at Infrastructure
How we designed our AI platform to meet financial-grade security — from the GPU up.
When people hear “AI compliance,” they often think of explainability, data bias, or regulation. That’s valid — but incomplete. Because in regulated markets, compliance begins at infrastructure.
At SoyakaAI, we built Secure ML Labs as part of our Qararak platform: a hardened, GPU-isolated environment where every model, vector, and log stays within your perimeter.
This is where AI becomes safe for banks, insurers, and governments.
Let’s break it down.
🧱 1. Kubernetes-Native Isolation
Each ML project runs in its own dedicated pod, with zero resource sharing across clients.
We use Kubernetes-native multi-tenancy with strict RBAC and namespace segregation.
Every customer’s models and data are isolated at the container level
No shared inference pipelines
Versioned and rollback-safe deployments
GPU scheduling optimized for auditability and usage tracking
In other words: your ML is your ML. Not even our team sees it.
🌐 2. Outbound Traffic is Off by Default
Many AI vendors operate like open doors. Qararak isn’t one of them.
By default, outbound internet is blocked from Secure ML Labs — meaning models can’t ping external APIs, leak metadata, or expose vectors.
Need specific external calls (e.g. Nafath, Simah)? We allow them on a per-endpoint, whitelisted basis, with full logs and alerts.
This gives clients confidence:
“What happens in our infra, stays in our infra.”
🔍 3. Every Token Is Logged (Yes, Every One)
Inference logs aren’t optional.
We track and encrypt:
Inputs sent to each model
Timestamps and user IDs
Model version used at the time
Full token-by-token output (LLMs included)
Decision traces from score to reason code
These logs feed our Explainability Engine, but more importantly — they keep you audit-ready at all times.
🛡️ 4. PDPL & SAMA-Aligned by Default
Whether it’s Saudi’s PDPL, Singapore’s PDPA, or UAE’s data law, our infra is compliance-first:
No cross-border data flows unless contractually allowed
Full right-to-erasure and data expiration tools
Local language (Arabic) support for all logs
Secure backups within in-country zones
We designed this platform with regulators in mind.
In many cases, our clients are ahead of the auditors — not the other way around.
🧪 5. Test Environments, Sandboxes, and Shadow Modes
To ensure safety before production, we support:
Staging environments that mirror prod
Shadow deployment of models (evaluate without acting)
Controlled experiments with rollback tools
Version locking and freeze modes for policy-sensitive models
If you’re operating in financial services, you know — one bad model can do real damage.
So we built for controlled iteration, not cowboy deployment.
🎯 Why This Matters
Secure ML Labs isn’t just about safety. It’s about trust.
If you’re asking someone to let an AI model shape their credit or compliance decisions, you need more than accuracy.
You need infrastructure that says:
“We’ve thought of everything — so you don’t have to.”
