Governance

Organization-wide policies for data residency and model training.

Governance controls apply organization-wide. They express routing policy that affects which models Optiak is allowed to use to serve a request — they do not remove models from the organization catalog.

Admins manage Governance in Company Setup -> Governance. There is no per-application override.

Data Residency

Data residency restricts where inference requests can be processed.

No preference - Any enabled model can be selected, regardless of where the provider processes data.
EU only - Only models hosted in the EU can be selected to serve requests.

Every model in the catalog is tagged with a processing region. When EU only is selected, models tagged for processing outside the EU are excluded as routing candidates - Optiak will not send a request to them.

Data residency is enforced when Optiak selects a model for a request, not when a model is enabled in the catalog. An admin can still enable a non-EU model while EU only is on; requests are simply never routed to it. If none of an application's enabled models satisfy the residency policy, requests to that application fail with "No available models."

Before turning on EU only, check the Data residency column in Model Catalog and make sure every application has at least one EU-eligible model enabled.

Block Providers for Training on Your Data

This setting restricts routing to models whose provider does not use submitted data to train their models.

Each model in the catalog carries a No training flag set by its provider. When this setting is on, only no-training models are eligible for routing; requests are not sent to models that may use the request data for training.

Like data residency, this is enforced at request-routing time. Enabling it does not remove other models from the catalog - it removes them from consideration when Optiak picks a model to serve a request.

Effect on Application Traffic

Governance settings apply to every application in the organization at once.

If a governance policy excludes all of an application's enabled models, Optiak has no eligible model to route that request to and the request fails. Before tightening a governance policy, confirm each application keeps at least one enabled model that satisfies it.
