Sovereign Cloud. Because your critical data isn’t negotiable
When cloud adoption becomes a matter of trust
Many organisations are already well established in the public cloud – workloads run reliably on AWS, Microsoft or Google. And yet one question keeps coming up: “Is this really enough – politically, legally, from a regulatory point of view?”
With every new requirement or headline, the desire grows to protect particularly critical workloads in a more sovereign way.
This is exactly where we see our role as a trusted advisor: we provide a clear recommendation on where sovereign cloud approaches are truly necessary – and where a hardened, well-segmented commercial cloud architecture is sufficient.
For customers who already know that specific workloads need to move into a sovereign environment, we support the planning and migration. The goal is an architecture in which critical workloads are protected to the highest degree – while everything else continues to run efficiently in the existing public cloud.
Who really needs a Sovereign Cloud
Public sector & government
Financial service providers & Insurances (FSI)
Healthcare & critical infrastructure
Organisations with highly sensitive intellectual property
A shared understanding of Sovereign Cloud
A Sovereign Cloud, for us, is a cloud environment where digital sovereignty, data ownership and compliance are not an add-on, but the core design principle. That means clearly defined data locations, transparent access and operating models, independent key management and architectures that demonstrably support GDPR, supervisory requirements and sector-specific regulations.
Our perspective: sovereign cloud usage is not an “either-or” alternative to public cloud, but the targeted combination of hyperscaler innovation with maximum control for your most critical workloads.
Sovereign cloud usage is not a luxury – it’s a question of responsibility. Our job is to ensure you can use cutting-edge cloud technology without ever losing control over your data, security or compliance.

Your Sovereign Cloud Journey
Not every step has to be a major project – but every step should be intentional. Our Sovereign Cloud Journey shows how we move forward together in a structured way, rather than “just migrating”.
- Understand & classify workloads Together, we review your existing cloud landscape and classify workloads based on criticality, compliance requirements and risk.
- Define target model & architecture We design a target model in which Sovereign Cloud and commercial cloud work seamlessly together – including data locations, access rules and operating models.
- Migrate & integrate We gradually migrate critical workloads into sovereign environments and cleanly integrate them with the remaining systems in your existing commercial cloud.
- Operate & evolve We support secure operations, audits and compliance reporting – and continuously evolve your architecture as new requirements emerge.
