Combine iShield Link's federated data fabric with Nexus Master Data Management to build golden records (customer, supplier, asset, product) and serve queries from where data legally lives — with residency-aware routing, field-level masking and full lineage.
Core capabilities
Federated query
Push compute to data — Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, S3, on-prem.
Golden records
Match, merge, steward customer / supplier / asset / product.
Residency routing
Per-row residency policy enforced at query time.
Field-level lineage
From source column to dashboard to AI prompt.
Modules included across iShield
This solution is not a single module — it composes capabilities from across Nexus, Connect, One, Link and iShieldGRC to deliver the outcome.
Federation without MDM produces fast wrong answers; MDM without federation forces data copies that break PDPL. Joined, you get golden records served from where the data legally lives.
Reference data flow across iShield
A single record moves across iShield Nexus, Link, One and Connect — with GRC evidence captured at every step.
Captures the request, ticket, asset or risk record in the workflow engine and CMDB.
AI agents enrich, score and route the record under residency, PII and approval guardrails.
Outcome, SLA and KPI are written back so dashboards and reporting reflect closed-loop reality.
Regulatory & framework coverage
Out-of-the-box control mappings managed by the iShield Nexus Risk & Compliance (GRC) module.
Personas served
Pre-built integrations
Ship in weeks, not months. Every integration runs through iShield Link with residency, PII and consent guardrails.

Deployment models & data residency
iShield Cloud (SaaS)
Multi-tenant SaaS managed by iShield, monthly release train.
Sovereign Cloud
Single-tenant deployment in regulated regions with in-country data residency and key custody.
Private Cloud / BYOC
Customer-owned AWS, Azure, GCP or OCI tenancy — iShield-managed control plane.
On-Prem / Air-gapped
Fully disconnected install for OT, defense and classified workloads.
Industry-tuned use cases
Sovereign Data Fabric & Master Data aligned to SAMA CSF and DORA operational resilience.
Sovereign Data Fabric & Master Data extended to OT estates via iShield Link OT bridge.
Sovereign Data Fabric & Master Data delivered on sovereign cloud with NCA / TDRA alignment.
Sovereign Data Fabric & Master Data with HIPAA / NPHIES-aware data flows and PHI guardrails.
How iShield wins this category
Sovereign-cloud deployment in KSA and UAE with NCA-aligned key custody — no Azure-region workaround required.
Workflow-first composable model — no multi-year re-implementation to change a process.
One platform across CRM, ITSM, GRC and ERP — no per-cloud licensing stack.
iShield Link enforces residency, PII and consent across products so guardrails are systemic, not per-tool.
