Why this exists
If your application only needs the answer, why does it still own the evidence?
Permanent custody was never a product requirement. It was an architectural limitation. Sovereignty Theft is the cause: irrevocable handover of authority. Not the stealing of data. The stealing of authority.
Every number below starts the same way: a copy that could never be withdrawn.
- CTO
The exposure you inherited. You have been securing the copy for years because no other model existed.

97%
of AI-related breaches hit organisations with no access controls
IBM, 2025
That is 241 days the copy sits live and exfiltratable. Detection never touches the copy itself.
SDARC makes the copy inert the moment authority is withdrawn. The window stops being a countdown to catastrophe.
- CFO
An uncapped liability: breach, fines, remediation, and premiums that arrive without a ceiling.
$4.44M
global average cost of a breach
IBM, 2025
$10.22M
US average cost, a record
IBM, 2025
Costs dipped this year on faster detection, and the permanent copy did not care.
The cost is not the breach. It is the copy that outlives the consent that created it.
- CEO
The one that lands on you. The board. The headlines. Accountability that cannot be delegated.

Once it was out, it was out for good. No authority existed to switch it off. That is the exposure no incident response plan reaches, because the plan assumes the copy stays live forever.
Same architecture. Same flaw. Three seats, all paying for one decision made for you decades ago.
