True digital sovereignty
It goes beyond just hosting. In a world of shifting regulations and geopolitical risks, you need to understand the full scope of your data exposure.
The landscape has changed
The US CLOUD Act allows US authorities to access data from US companies—even if stored in EU data centers. With gag orders.
Courts have blocked Microsoft services. Sanctions can cut off your infrastructure overnight. Business continuity at risk.
FISA 702 gives US intelligence access to data from non-US persons without warrant. Your customer data is exposed.
Strict GDPR interpretations are making US data transfers legally risky. Your compliance posture may be weaker than you think.
Digital sovereignty isn't a buzzword—it's risk management. Know where your data lives and who controls it.

The 4 layers of data sovereignty
User data (direct)
This is what most people think of: where do you host your database and application? If you are on AWS, GCP, or Azure, you are subject to US law, regardless of the "region" you select.
The shift
User data (indirect)
Your supply chain matters. If you use US providers for email, analytics, or support chat, your user data is leaving the EU. You need to assess your sub-processors.
The shift
Employee data
Often overlooked. Your identity provider (IDP) and collaboration tools hold sensitive employee data. Shifting this layer protects your internal workforce.
The shift
Organization data (IP)
Where does your intellectual property live? Startups often use Notion or Slack. This data is vulnerable to foreign access or corporate espionage via backdoors.
