01
Clarify sovereignty needs
Data, processes, operator access, jurisdiction and operational control are assessed in a differentiated way.
Sovereignty · Delos · Critical infrastructure · Regulated industries
Cloud Sovereignty · Delos
For public sector bodies, critical infrastructure and regulated industries, cloud adoption is also a question of control, jurisdiction and dependencies. Sovratis assesses options around Delos and sovereign cloud architectures factually.
In brief
Data-sovereign cloud strategies for critical infrastructure, public sector and regulated industries in the DACH region.
Delos · Critical infrastructure · Regulated industries · Updated
Typical starting point
Where action becomes necessary.
Protection needs and regulatory requirements are not translated into technical criteria
Sovereignty is reduced to the location of data centres
Target platform, transitions and remaining dependencies are unclear
Approach
From assessment to a workable solution.
02
Compare options
Delos and other operating models are assessed against concrete requirements instead of blanket promises.
03
Plan transitions
Target architecture, identities, data flows, migration and operations are described as one coherent path.
Examples from practice
Concrete situations. Comprehensible results.
Evaluate cloud options for regulated data
Starting point
An organisation wants to use modern Microsoft services but must meet special control requirements.
Result
A criteria model makes data classes, operator access, jurisdiction and technical dependencies comparable.
Prepare a sovereign target architecture
Starting point
Delos is considered as a platform, but the impact on identities and processes is unclear.
Result
Architecture and transition planning shows prerequisites, interfaces and open decisions.
Case study
What a concrete project looked like.
Organisation from a regulated public-sector environment – anonymised, as all Sovratis client relationships are treated confidentially.
Starting point
Modern Microsoft services were to be used, while special requirements applied to jurisdiction, operator access and demonstrable control. A blanket answer of 'cloud yes or no' was not helpful.
Measures implemented
- Differentiated assessment of data classes, processes and protection needs
- Criteria model for sovereignty: jurisdiction, operator access, encryption, dependencies
- Factual assessment of Delos Cloud and alternative operating models
- Architecture and transition planning with open decisions and prerequisites
Result
The organisation makes its cloud decision on the basis of traceable criteria instead of blanket promises. The path to the target platform is described as one coherent, verifiable route.
Outcome
What your organisation gains.
Traceable criteria for cloud sovereignty
A realistic assessment of options and dependencies
A predictable transition for regulated workloads
Questions & answers
Frequently asked about sovereignty.
What does cloud sovereignty mean?+
Cloud sovereignty covers more than data residency. It also includes jurisdiction, operator access, encryption, identities, dependencies and your own ability to act.
What is Delos Cloud?+
Delos Cloud is an offering for a sovereign cloud platform in Germany. Whether it fits depends on protection needs, usage scenarios and organisational prerequisites.
Is a sovereign cloud only relevant for public authorities?+
No. Critical infrastructure operators and highly regulated industries can have requirements regarding jurisdiction, operational control and demonstrable separation.
Can every Microsoft 365 environment simply be migrated?+
A migration depends on available services, the identity model, data classes, interfaces and operational requirements, and must be planned individually.
