The end of the trust economy

Across our industry, there’s no shortage of talk about data sovereignty and infrastructure sovereignty. Policies are outlined. Terms are defined. Diagrams show how control is maintained.

But most of those claims still rely on trust. Trust that the infrastructure is actually local. Trust that operations are actually independent. Trust that sovereignty exists beyond a marketing slide.

In the next phase of the digital economy, trust won’t be enough. Customers will demand proof.

Proof means knowing exactly where your workloads live, who runs the systems and how they perform under pressure. It means certifications that validate operations — not just design — to a global standard.

That’s why Ilkari’s data centre in Colombia achieving DCOS Maturity Level 4 matters. It’s the first public, commercial facility in Latin America to reach this level and one of only a handful globally. Level 4 confirms operational maturity across planning, controls and incident response — every day, not just on paper.

The trust economy is ending. The proof economy is here.
