"Digital sovereignty has outgrown its niche as an IT concern and is now firmly on the boardroom agenda. This has been fueled in no small part by geopolitical concerns. However, while geopolitics may have pushed it into the spotlight, at its core digital sovereignty is about one thing: keeping the business running no matter what happens. When critical systems fail, there is always a cost."
"When critical systems fail, there is always a cost. For office productivity suites, that cost shows up in lost hours and missed deadlines. For financial services, healthcare, government, or critical infrastructure, outages can disrupt essential services, undermine trust, and create direct financial and societal impact. These costs are quantifiable, and regulators are increasingly demanding that organizations understand and mitigate the underlying risk."
Digital sovereignty moved from an IT niche to a boardroom priority driven by geopolitical pressures and operational risk. Outages impose quantifiable costs such as lost hours, missed deadlines, disrupted essential services, eroded trust, and direct financial and societal impacts, prompting regulatory scrutiny. Sovereignty focuses on business continuity and operational resilience by reducing dependencies on providers subject to foreign regulations, opaque architectures, and single points of failure. Open source provides the necessary transparency to inspect the software stack, strengthen security assessments, provide assurance to risk owners and auditors, and leverage cloud-native innovation from open communities and major contributors.
