HCLSoftware Launches Sovereign AI Features in Domino 14.5 to Meet Government Data Privacy Requirements
HCLSoftware has released Domino 14.5, introducing Domino IQ—an AI extension focused on privacy and control for government agencies and regulated sectors. This update is part of the Domino+ suite, which strengthens sovereign collaboration capabilities for organizations that demand full ownership of their data and digital environments.
Domino IQ enables users to automate workflows and analyze data using AI models developed internally or sourced from trusted providers, all while adhering to strict data privacy rules. These features help institutions comply with regulations like the European Union’s AI Act and avoid reliance on foreign-hosted cloud services.
Privacy and Control in a Sensitive Environment
Richard Jefts, Executive Vice President and General Manager at HCLSoftware, highlighted the increasing need for secure platforms in public institutions and regulated businesses. Domino 14.5 supports over 200 government departments worldwide by securing communications, documents, and collaboration tools with a focus on maintaining operational integrity.
Partnering with IONOS, a European cloud infrastructure provider, HCLSoftware ensures that its sovereign solutions run on secure, reliable infrastructure free from foreign influence. IONOS CEO Achim Weiss emphasized that Europe’s digital independence relies on secure platforms built with data protection as a core principle.
Key Upgrades in Domino 14.5
- BSI Certification: Domino 14.5 meets information security standards set by Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), reinforcing trust in handling sensitive data.

- Accessibility Compliance: Full alignment with the European Accessibility Act ensures that all users, regardless of ability, can effectively use the platform’s web tools.
