PONALO Sovereign
Sovereign identity, on your terms.
Trusted national identity establishes who a citizen is. PONALO provides the relationship, permission and orchestration layer above it — jurisdiction-aware, minimised and auditable by construction.

Identity graph
Four commitments
The constraints come first, and they are not configurable.
Identity stays sovereign
PONALO never replaces or duplicates a national identity system.
Relationships become legible
Roles, statuses and provenance, expressed once and reused lawfully.
Citizen agency stays central
Purpose-specific, role-controlled and revocable access.
No blanket surveillance
There is no query that returns a population. Access is per purpose.
Country Packs
A jurisdiction is a configuration, not a rebuild.
Each Country Pack carries the identity adapter, civil status rules, privacy and financial rules, family and authority rules, connector set, data residency posture, languages, formats and redress paths.
South Africa
Country Pack #1 — active in demo
Sandbox connectors for banking, insurance, employment and civil registry.
Ghana
Architecture prepared
Identifier and connector slots defined. No national integration is claimed.
Kenya
Architecture prepared
Identifier and connector slots defined. No national integration is claimed.
Agency workspace
Lawful access, evidenced every time.
Purpose registration
Every access is bound to a registered purpose with a legal basis.
Role-controlled queues
Officers see only what their role and mandate permit, for as long as permitted.
Full audit trail
Who, from where, under which authority, for what purpose, and what was returned.
