Many hyperscalers promote “sovereign cloud” as part of their strategy. But the reality is simple: if a provider falls under foreign jurisdiction, they remain bound to the laws of that country. No matter what your contract says, their government comes first.
For organizations handling sensitive or business-critical data, this is a fundamental risk. True sovereignty requires more than marketing promises; it demands control over where data resides, who can access it and under which laws it is protected.
Relying solely on hyperscalers means relying on rules you cannot influence. The only way to secure sovereignty is by taking ownership of your own compliance and security framework.
Control your data. Control your sovereignty 🔒
