How customers are achieving their digital sovereignty goals
- University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH)University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH) is Germany’s second largest university hospital, serving more than a half a million patients per year. UKSH uses Sovereign Controls managed by our partner T-Systems to meet strict local requirements for data protection, data residency, and security. Through our pioneering External Key Management (EKM) solution, keys used to encrypt patient data will be held in T-Systems’ German data centers, outside Google Cloud’s infrastructure. T-Systems also trains staff, implements services, and structures data that is transferred from systems across UKSH.
- MeinAutoMeinAuto is a leading online car retailer, providing customers access to car subscriptions via an end-to-end online journey. They chose Google’s Sovereign Cloud, to accelerate their digital transformation while enhancing the protection of their customers’ personal data. By taking advantage of Sovereign Controls by T-Systems, MeinAuto is able to set new standards in the automotive industry for customer experience while meeting data protection requirements.

A cloud that puts you in charge
Sovereignty is complex. Is your organisation ready?
There’s more to sovereignty than compliance and data protection. These distinct areas are driving the debate, and where you should focus:
To simplify digital sovereignty, we’ve broken it down
Working closely with European organisations and policy makers, it’s clear that control is vital when it comes to digital sovereignty. But it’s a complex issue, which is why we approach it from 3 key angles: data sovereignty, operational sovereignty and software sovereignty. It’s how we can offer different ways to stay in control while you’re in the cloud.
Google Sovereign Cloud enables every organisation to meet their data, operational, and software sovereignty needs, so they can accelerate their digital transformation in the cloud with confidence.
By offering the industry’s most comprehensive set of sovereign capabilities, it allows organisations to adopt the right controls on a workload-by-workload basis to meet their sovereignty requirements.
It also optimises for considerations like regional and industry-specific regulations, infrastructure platform choice (public or distributed cloud), functionality, cost, infrastructure consistency, and developer experience.
