More Independent. More Secure. More Resilient.
We make your IT sovereign.
Sovereign IT
Data security, data protection, resilience, independence - sovereignty takes many forms. And each of these facets can be relevant to the needs of different companies and authorities in different degrees.
However, the following always applies: Confident IT is an important prerequisite for being able to use the latest technologies in a targeted manner, even in sensitive environments. Whether it's cloud computing or artificial intelligence, whether the technology is to be used in public administration, in regulated markets such as the energy sector and healthcare or in the manufacturing industry - it's always about the right combination of innovative strength, security and self-determination for the respective application scenario.
In other words: the right level of sovereignty.
We Make Your It More Sovereign - That Means...
To achieve this, companies and public authorities alike need partners they can trust. Partners with extensive experience and implementation expertise in state-of-the-art technologies and specific requirements.
In short: partners you can rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sovereign IT
-
What is sovereign IT?
In a broader sense, we define sovereign IT as information technology that fulfills special requirements in terms of data security, data protection, resilience, independence, etc. This can certainly be graded. There are certainly gradations possible - the degree of sovereignty should always be based on the specific deployment scenario.
-
Why is IT sovereignty so important today?
With increasing digitalization, cloud usage and international networking, dependencies and risks are on the rise. IT sovereignty makes it possible to use technological innovations without losing control of sensitive data or critical processes.
-
What is the Sovereign Cloud?
A sovereign cloud must also meet special requirements. For example, the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has set precise requirements for the sovereign cloud for the public sector in Germany, which must be observed. For example, there must be no dependencies on networks outside Germany; data processing and data storage as well as the operation of all services must be carried out in Germany by German companies. The operation can be carried out by the government itself or by a selected organization. This is particularly important for government authorities, critical infrastructures and other organizations that work with sensitive data. A sovereign cloud is therefore the basis for the secure use of modern cloud technology in administration.
-
Who uses sovereign IT?
Sovereign IT - or "more sovereign" IT - is of interest to both public administration and companies. Whenever there are special security requirements, for example, when critical infrastructures are operated or when particularly sensitive data is involved, sovereign IT can play an important role.
-
Does sovereign IT mean doing without cloud technologies?
No. Sovereign IT does not exclude cloud computing. Rather, it is about using cloud technologies in such a way that data sovereignty, transparency and legal security remain guaranteed - for example through sovereign cloud models.
-
What role does Arvato Systems play in sovereign IT?
