Navigating the Sovereignty Spectrum

Why digital sovereignty has become a leadership issue

Control over your digital infrastructure isn’t just a technical issue, it's a board-level concern. Legal exposure, geopolitical tension, and vendor lock-in are forcing organizations to think harder about a simple question: What does it really mean to be in control?

“Control by design: the sovereignty spectrum” is a whitepaper that offers clarity in the face of complexity. It helps moving beyond checklists and into structured, strategic decision-making. It introduces the Sovereignty Operating Framework, a practical way to assess exposure, design for resilience, and retain the freedom to act on your own terms.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why sovereignty is a spectrum, not a binary choice
  • How European regulation is evolving beyond GDPR
  • Where risks live two or three layers deep in your stack
  • How to balance innovation, compliance, and control
  • What “exit readiness” means in a hybrid, hyperscale world

Whether you run mission-critical systems in finance, energy, transport & logistics, or government, this paper will help you bring sovereignty down to earth with structure, nuance, and tools to act.
