SECURITY
BlackMountain is a European company with European ownership, operating entirely within the EU. No US parent, no non-EU investors, no foreign jurisdiction reaching into your data.
WHY IT MATTERS
Many AI vendors run EU data centers while remaining under non-EU corporate control. That structure exposes data to foreign legal access regardless of where the servers stand. Sovereignty is a question of ownership and jurisdiction — not of hosting labels.
01 / STRUCTURE
Jurisdiction follows ownership
A company under non-EU control can be legally compelled to disclose data, wherever it is stored.
02 / PROCESSING
Model providers add exposure
AI processing often leaves the EU even when the application does not.
03 / EVIDENCE
Compliance has to be provable
Auditors and procurement teams need documentation, not marketing claims.
100% European ownership
BlackMountain has no investors or parent entities outside the European Union. No foreign jurisdiction applies to our corporate structure.
EU-only operations
Application, data storage and processing run within the European Union. Our Datacenters are operated by Scaleway and are located in Paris.
Models are operated inside a governed EU environment. You decide which providers are enabled for your organisation.
No training on your data
HUMAN-LED AI
Human judgment stays in control
AI can research, summarise, draft and recommend — but critical decisions remain with people. Workflows can include review, approval and feedback where human responsibility matters.
Ask Human instead of guessing
When information is missing or a request is unclear, AI should not invent an answer. With Ask Human, the system can ask for clarification before continuing.
Designed for collaboration
People and AI work in the same workspace, with shared context, connected knowledge and visible workflows. This makes AI part of how teams work — not a separate tool on the side.
Governed by default
Human-led AI only works when permissions, roles and visibility are built in. BlackMountain connects AI usage with access control, auditability and Control Tower oversight.
01
Role-based access
Permissions across organisation, workspace, team and knowledge base level.
02
Permission-aware knowledge
AI only accesses what the requesting user is allowed to see.
03
PII protection
Detect and control personal data before it reaches a model.
04
Human in the loop
Ask Human keeps people in the decision path instead of letting AI act on assumptions.
05
Full usage transparency
Control Tower shows which models, teams and workflows are used, at what cost, with what data.
06
Auditability
Activity, access and model usage are traceable for internal and external review.
01 / STANDARD
EU Multi-Tenant
Standard setup, fully EU-operated.
02 / ISOLATED
03 / ENTERPRISE
Your own cloud
04 / REGULATED
On-premise
BUSINESS MODEL / TOKEN INCENTIVES
BlackMountain does not build its business on token markups. That means our incentive is not to make customers consume more tokens — but to help organisations use AI efficiently, securely and with measurable value.
No token margin incentive
We do not earn more by making your AI workflows unnecessarily expensive.
Built to reduce AI waste
Our platform can optimise how context, models and workflows are used — reducing unnecessary token consumption where possible.
Right model for the right task
Not every task needs the largest or most expensive model. Multi-model access helps teams choose the right model for the job.
Reusable workflows
Instead of repeating long prompts and manual context setup, teams can create reusable assistants and workflows that standardise efficient AI usage.
Cost visibility through Control Tower
Usage and cost are visible across teams, models and workflows — so AI adoption can be managed instead of guessed.
