Government and public sector.

Citizen-facing systems with data residency, accessibility and audit trails — built on infrastructure departments can operate themselves after we hand it over.

At a glance

Residency
Data stays where policy says
Region-pinned storage, processing and backup paths.
Accessibility
Built to WCAG 2.2 AA
Keyboard, contrast and assistive-tech paths designed in, not retrofitted.
Auditability
Every action traceable
Immutable logs, retention windows and exportable evidence.
Handover
Operable in-house
Open standards, documented runbooks, no single-vendor lock.

The pressures

What makes public-sector delivery different.

These are the structural constraints that shape the architecture before a single feature is discussed.

Residency and sovereignty are architectural, not a setting

Where citizen data lives, where it is processed, and where backups and logs land are policy decisions that reach into region selection, managed-service choice and every third-party dependency. Retrofitting residency after a platform is running is usually a rebuild.

Region and availability-zone constraints on every data path
Third-party and SaaS processors inside the boundary
Backup, replica and log destinations often overlooked

Accessibility is a legal floor, not a polish pass

Citizen-facing services must work for people using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, magnification and low-bandwidth connections. Accessibility defects found at the end of a build are expensive; found in a public service, they exclude people.

WCAG 2.2 AA as an acceptance criterion, not a later audit
Assistive-technology paths tested as part of delivery
Plain-language content and error recovery

Procurement demands evidence before it demands code

Public tenders ask suppliers to document architecture, security posture, data handling, exit plans and total cost before anything is built. Teams that treat documentation as a downstream chore find the evidence trail does not match the running system.

Architecture and control documentation that matches reality
Exit and transition plans stated up front
Cost models that survive multi-year budget scrutiny

Someone else has to run it in five years

Departmental teams inherit systems from whoever built them, often after the delivery partner has moved on. Platforms that depend on proprietary glue, undocumented deployment steps or a single person's knowledge become the next modernisation programme.

Open standards and portable formats over proprietary glue
Infrastructure as code so environments are reproducible
Runbooks and knowledge transfer treated as deliverables

What we build

Our services, applied to public services.

The same engineering practice we bring to any enterprise platform, scoped to the constraints a department works under. Our team includes public-sector systems experience from national-scale citizen platforms.

Infrastructure departments can operate

Cloud and on-premise environments defined as code, pinned to the regions your policy allows, with reproducible builds and documented operational procedures.

Region-constrained landing zones
Terraform-managed environments
Disaster recovery and failover design
Runbooks written for in-house teams

Release processes that produce an audit trail

Pipelines where every change to a citizen-facing service is reviewed, tested, attributable and reversible — and where the record of that is a by-product of the process rather than a manual log.

Change approval encoded in the pipeline
Automated accessibility and regression checks
Signed artefacts and deployment provenance
Rollback paths tested, not assumed

Identity, access and security controls

Access models built around least privilege and separation of duties, with logging and monitoring designed so that questions about who did what are answerable months later.

Role and attribute-based access design
Immutable audit logging with retention rules
Encryption in transit and at rest
Control mapping for assessor review

Data platforms with retention and lineage built in

Data architecture where records retention, lineage and lawful-basis constraints are enforced by the platform, and where reporting does not require copying citizen data into ungoverned spreadsheets.

Retention and disposal policy in the schema
Lineage from source to published figure
Access-governed reporting layers
Anonymisation and minimisation patterns

Where a programme needs shaping before it needs building, that starts with architecture and advisory. Where AI is in scope, we scope it against our responsible AI position and our applied AI practice. The full service catalogue is on the solutions page.

Governance context

Standards your organisation is held to.

These are the frameworks public bodies answer to. We design controls against them and produce the evidence your assessors and auditors ask for — the obligations remain your organisation's.

Data residency and sovereignty

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 and sector-specific directions constrain where personal data may be stored and processed, and who may act as a processor. We design region selection, dependency choice and data flows against those constraints and document the result.

Accessibility standards

WCAG 2.2 Level AA is the reference standard for citizen-facing services, alongside national guidance such as the Guidelines for Indian Government Websites. We treat conformance as a build-time acceptance criterion and produce the testing evidence that reviewers ask for.

Security baselines and incident reporting

CERT-In directions set expectations for log retention and incident reporting timelines, and ISO/IEC 27001 is the common reference for information security management. We design controls and logging so your organisation can evidence them — YatiSphere is not itself a certification body or certificate holder.

Procurement, auditability and open standards

Public procurement expects documented architecture, stated exit plans and preference for open standards and portable data formats. We write that documentation alongside the system so the evidence pack reflects what actually runs.

Records retention and disposal

Public records obligations set how long records must be kept and when they must be disposed of. We encode retention windows, legal holds and disposal workflows in the platform rather than leaving them to operational discipline.

Responsible use of AI in public services

Where AI touches a citizen decision, explainability, human review and contestability are not optional. We scope AI narrowly, keep a human in the loop on consequential decisions, and document how outputs are produced and reviewed.

Bring us the constraint, not just the requirement.

Residency, accessibility, retention, handover — tell us what your programme is held to and we will tell you how we would architect against it.
