Digital sovereignty starts with transparency – and true independence
Do you want to secure your digital independence and full control over your data? We help you to understand dependencies, assess risks and develop a realistic target architecture – with expert, independent advice and holistic implementation.
Why digital sovereignty is now a management task
Cloud infrastructures, SaaS subscriptions and networked services have led many IT architectures into highly complex dependency structures. At the same time, the pressure to act is growing – not only due to regulatory requirements such as NIS2, CRA, DORA or GDPR, but also due to an increasingly volatile geopolitical situation. If you don't know where your systems are running, how your data is being processed or whether a change of provider is realistic, you lose strategic control – and risk bad investments with long-term effects.
Control over your own digital infrastructure – without having to sacrifice flexibility and performance is becoming a decisive competitive factor.
What do we mean by digital sovereignty?
Digital sovereignty is the ability of your company to make self-determined decisions about digital systems, data and dependencies - strategically, technically and organizationally. Not as an ideology, but as a prerequisite for control, compliance and resilience.
Taking the initiative for more digital sovereignty
Data protection and compliance as an opportunity
The European regulatory landscape is developing rapidly and creating new framework conditions for digital sovereignty. These regulatory developments create opportunities: more legal certainty, promotion of European alternatives and increased customer trust in your digital services.
However, compliance with these regulations requires a strategic (re)alignment of the IT landscape - with digital sovereignty as a guiding principle.
No sovereignty without security
Digital sovereignty without IT security is a mere illusion.
Your control over digital resources is only as strong as your ability to protect them from unauthorized access and manipulation. A few basic security measures include consistent encryption, strong identity and access management, and trained and sensitized employees.
Data sovereignty: three paths to digital self-determination
There are three basic strategic options to ensure digital self-determination when storing data – depending on requirements, these can also be combined:
- On-premises solutions
- European cloud providers
- Hyperscalers, but with protective measures
We partner with various providers and are also familiar with the offerings on the market in order to provide you with exactly the solution you need, regardless of manufacturer:
For everyone who bears responsibility – from technology to strategy
- For CIOs & CTOs
Decide with confidence – based on real risks
We provide a sound decision-making basis for the strategic management of your IT – independent, feasible and regulatory compliant. - For CISOs & data protection officers
Stay compliant – without operational risks
We analyze data flows, access and dependencies and show you where real compliance risks lie – and how you can safeguard against them.
- For IT managers & architects
Reduce complexity – strengthen your ability to act

I look forward to exchanging ideas with you!
Step 1: Quick assessment
Within three to five working days, we work with you to gain an overview of your IT landscape and identify potential risks. The assessment offers an ideal introduction to the path to digital sovereignty for CIOs, CISOs and IT managers.
After a brief onboarding discussion, we will assess the tools and platforms you use, classify them technically and organizationally and develop an initial risk assessment with prioritization based on this.
At the end of the assessment, you will have a compact report including a tool matrix, evaluation of critical dependencies and recommendations for action. You also have the option of receiving a personal debriefing from us.
The costs amount to a flat rate of €1,799.
Step 2: Detailed analysis & target image
After the initial assessment, we will be happy to take the next steps with you to strengthen your digital sovereignty.
We examine how and for what purpose critical services are used:
What data is processed? Which systems are business-critical?
To this end, we develop a structured risk assessment and architecture vision together within three to six weeks, depending on the desired depth and involvement.
We analyse data flows, access and contracts and prioritize identified risks according to technology, organization and law. We then develop a target picture, including a mitigation plan, in consultation with stakeholders such as IT, security and C-level. We offer an optional integrated workshop specifically for these groups to support awareness building and change management.
You will receive a risk matrix with an outline of the objectives and an action plan structured according to cost and benefit. All of this then serves as a basis for decision-making for strategy development or tenders.
Step 3: Implementation support
Now we take action! Together, we will take the necessary measures to successfully integrate and anchor sovereign technologies in your company. The services we offer are modular and can be individually tailored to your needs:
At the end of this phase, you will have successfully implemented relevant measures and built up your own management capability. By transferring know-how from us to you, the measures have a lasting effect and we empower you to maintain the course you have set yourself.
