Why Souvera offers real digital sovereignty: and Microsoft cannot guarantee it

Digital sovereignty needs more than promises

Europe talks a lot about digital sovereignty. But promises are worthless when foreign laws still apply. That is exactly why we built Souvera: a sovereign German work environment that combines technology, law and control.

What the current Microsoft case shows

As t3n reports, a Microsoft executive testified under oath before the French Senate that Microsoft cannot guarantee that European data is fully protected from access by US authorities: even when the data resides in the EU. Reasons include US laws such as the CLOUD Act, which can apply even to data stored in Europe.

Souvera: how you achieve real digital sovereignty

1) Data location Germany

Your data stays in German data centers under German law and the GDPR.

2) No dependency on US laws

Souvera is not subject to the US CLOUD Act. We must not comply with US gag orders.

3) Transparency

You always know where your data lives and who has access.

Conclusion

Real digital sovereignty is achievable: with technology and law that belong to Europe. Souvera delivers both.
