Digital sovereignty is crucial today because organizations must maintain control over data, infrastructure, and processes – independent of individual vendors. This requires open standards, transparent technologies, auditable platforms, and modular cloud architectures. True freedom of action only emerges when compute, storage, network, and software stack work together seamlessly. For businesses, the ability to flexibly switch or expand systems at any time, without dependencies, is paramount.

However, the complexity of modern IT infrastructures means that assessing your own digital sovereignty cannot be based on just a few factors. Assessing your digital sovereignty is multifaceted. Many different aspects must be considered, regularly reviewed, and continually reassessed and adjusted to suit the current situation.

Based on our experience, an initial assessment of your own level of digital sovereignty is the starting point on the continuous path to digital sovereignty. The Sovereign Cloud Group doesn't use "digital sovereignty" as a sales label, but rather, together with all its partners, stands for the principles of freedom, openness, and flexibility. For this reason, in cooperation with DISQU, we offer a self-assessment: How sovereign is your IT infrastructureChecklist? This test can be completed directly on the front page.
