Core42, a G42 company specializing in sovereign cloud and AI infrastructure, has announced a strategic partnership with Data Dynamics, a U.S.-headquartered leader in AI-powered data management, to help organizations across the UAE and globally reduce data risk and accelerate AI readiness through compliant, governed, and secure data foundations.
As enterprises race to adopt artificial intelligence, data quality, visibility, and compliance remain major barriers. Organizations operating across on‑premises, cloud, and hybrid environments increasingly struggle with fragmented data estates, limited governance, and rising regulatory pressure challenges that directly impact security posture, operational cost, and confidence in AI-driven outcomes.
Through the partnership, Core42 combines its advisory, sovereign cloud, and managed services with Data Dynamics’ AI-powered data management platform to deliver end‑to‑end data classification, governance, and compliance capabilities. Core42 begins by assessing an organization’s data landscape, establishing a baseline across data volume, quality, relevance, and risk. Data Dynamics’ platform then scans and maps data to identify redundant, obsolete, sensitive, and high-value data across environments.
“AI readiness begins with a clear understanding of data categorized, trusted, and governed so it can be used with confidence.”
— Talal M. Al Kaissi, Chief Executive Officer, Core42
Based on these insights, governance frameworks aligned with regulatory and business requirements are defined and enforced through AI‑driven automated policy controls, including role-based access, data masking, mobility, migration, and automated remediation workflows. This approach ensures consistent enforcement of controls at scale, reducing exposure across compliance, security, and cost domains.
Core42 further supports organizations by identifying exposure points and implementing mitigation strategies such as data loss prevention and privacy governance aligned to regulatory mandates. Data Dynamics’ platform operationalizes these policies through automated quarantine, permission management, and policy-based access controls. Delivered as a Core42 AI Service, the solution includes continuous optimization, drift analysis, lifecycle management, and policy refinement to ensure long-term compliance and performance.
The offering is integrated with Core42’s Sovereign Public Cloud Insight platform, providing technical and policy controls for regulated data classifications, particularly for public sector and regulated industries. It can also be deployed in disconnected private cloud environments, easing the burden of continuous data classification and compliance validation.
“By partnering with Data Dynamics, we are embedding governance directly into the operating layer of data,” said Talal M. Al Kaissi, CEO of Core42. “This allows organizations to move from ambition to execution, using AI securely and confidently.”
Piyush Mehta, CEO of Data Dynamics, added that combining AI-driven governance with sovereign infrastructure provides a trusted path to AI adoption and has the potential to inform global best practices for sovereign data operations.
