Digital Sovereignty

The essential report for IT decision-makers
Edition #4

Digital Sovereignty

Digital sovereignty is no longer just a political buzzword – it’s a pressing issue for businesses: Who controls our data? Who decides on our infrastructure? And how independent are we from external providers?
‍
In this edition, we explore how technology, organizational design and regulatory frameworks intertwine when companies aim to secure digital autonomy. From on-prem LLMs and governance methodologies to resilient software architectures – we show how to align compliance, innovation and strategic independence.

What you get

  • Clarity for decision-makers: Understand why digital sovereignty goes far beyond data protection—and why it’s becoming a mission-critical issue for organizations relying on cloud, AI, and connected systems.
  • Strategies for compliance & security: Learn how to embed regulatory requirements from GDPR, DORA, NIS-2, and the EU Data Act into your IT architecture—without sacrificing innovation.
  • Hands-on guides: From multi-cloud strategies and governance frameworks to LLM fine-tuning, data inventories, and conscious use of off-the-shelf software—this briefing delivers concrete steps, checklists, and best practices.
  • Gaining a competitive edge: More control over your data, systems, and supply chains boosts resilience, reduces risk, and creates new opportunities through connected data ecosystems.

Why Read This?

This Technology Briefing helps you turn geopolitical risks, dependencies on US cloud providers, and growing regulatory pressure into actionable strategies and long-term advantages.

Especially relevant if you’re asking:

  • How exit-ready is our current cloud-strategy?
  • What's the right balance between off-the-shelf software and custom development?
  • How can we use data spaces and AI in a sovereign and future-proof way?
