Geopolitical risks and new regulations have pushed digital sovereignty to the top of the agenda, with nearly half of organizations reporting increased interest in sovereign solutions this year alone. Yet, the path forward is challenging, with 34% of leaders citing "high complexity" as a major hurdle.
This new IDC white paper, sponsored by Google Cloud, provides expert guidance to help you take control of your data and digital infrastructure.
Digital sovereignty is now a strategic business imperative, driven primarily by the need for regulatory compliance (a top driver for 37% of organizations) and rising geopolitical risks
A "one-size-fits-all" approach is ineffective; companies must tailor their strategy by identifying sensitive workloads (like backup/recovery, a top priority for 32%) and choosing from a spectrum of sovereign solutions
Implementation is complex and requires trusted partners, with 34% of leaders citing "high complexity" as a key challenge. As a result, organizations prioritize partners with in-country data centers (47%) and a strong sovereign ecosystem (36%).
