Digital Sovereignty
Shaping your independent digital future in Switzerland
What is Digital Sovereignty?
Digital Sovereignty means preserving full control and autonomy over your organization’s digital assets. It is your ability to decide where your data resides, which technologies are used to store and process it, how your data is managed, who can access it, and under which frameworks and laws it is governed. Digital Sovereignty lays the foundation for the digital independence and resilience of your organization.
Drivers towards Digital Sovereignty
Why is Digital Sovereignty important for Swiss organizations?
The adoption of Cloud computing, AI, and data-driven innovation increases the pressure on organizations to protect sensitive data and comply with strict Swiss regulations. There, Digital Sovereignty is not only about security or data location, it is about preserving independence and control over all digital assets.
Relying on a sovereign Cloud infrastructure in a neutral country like Switzerland reduces your dependence on foreign influence. It allows you to innovate freely and fully trust your pathway to digitalization.
This is of importance, especially in sectors with highly confidential data, such as Finance, Healthcare, Public Administration, National Security, and NGOs. There, every byte of data may carry strategic value and provide a competitive advantage for organizations.
