Data Handling Commitment

EdarIndex, a service of Axiom Intelligence Partners LLC, holds itself to the same rigorous data governance standards it assesses in client systems. Our advisory model is built on a zero-retention architecture.

1. Zero-Retention Architecture

Custody of all evidentiary documents remains with the client at all times. During an EDAR Index assessment, clients upload policy documents, architecture diagrams, and governance charters to a secure, client-provisioned storage environment (e.g., a Ministry-controlled SharePoint). The EdarIndex Client Portal serves exclusively as a metadata tracking dashboard to monitor progress; no actual file content touches or resides on EdarIndex servers.

2. Prohibition of Personal Identifiable Information (PII)

Our diagnostic methodology assesses structural readiness, not individual records. No student, teacher, or citizen personal data is collected, processed, or analysed at any stage of any engagement. Any system exports provided as evidence of data quality must be strictly aggregated or fully anonymised at the schema level prior to review.

3. AI & Large Language Model (LLM) Boundaries

EdarIndex utilizes advanced AI synthesis engines internally to accelerate report structuring. However, no government-internal data, confidential policies, or identifiable operational notes are ever ingested into public cloud LLMs. All proprietary client evidence is processed using secure, local, zero-retention environments that do not train models on client inputs.

4. Post-Engagement Destruction Protocols

Upon delivery and sign-off of the final EDAR Assessment Report and 24-Month Roadmap, all local caching of client-provided documentation, interview transcripts, and field notes utilized by our team are securely destroyed. EdarIndex retains only the final delivered report and the anonymised composite score data for aggregate baseline benchmarking.
