However, this promise is rendered meaningless if a provider cannot guarantee that data is stored and processed exclusively in the EU. This is a key aspect of true data sovereignty, as understood by STACKIT. Additionally, a provider should be transparent, demonstrate high IT and compliance security, and offer open standards. This prevents companies from being locked into a specific provider and incurring additional costs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The cloud solutions market is vast. Well-known providers advertise their services with buzzwords like &#8220;cost-efficient, scalable, and secure.&#8221; In reality, many companies consider cost savings to be the primary reason for switching to the cloud. According to the Bitkom Cloud Report 2023, almost two-thirds of companies already using cloud solutions want to reduce their costs by switching to on-premises solutions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stackit.de\/de\/datensouverane-cloud-epaper\/?utm_source=beitrag2&amp;utm_medium=text1&amp;utm_campaign=datensouveraenitaet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Your key to GDPR-compliant cloud solutions &#8211; secure your ePaper now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stackit.de\/de\/datensouverane-cloud-epaper\/?utm_source=beitrag2&amp;utm_medium=banner1&amp;utm_campaign=datensouveraenitaet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25463 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-04-700x366.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-04-700x366.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-04-250x131.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-04-768x401.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-04-120x63.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-04.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, does using cloud solutions automatically lead to cost savings?

How can you tell? Many providers use the term but fail to substantiate their claims or guarantee the benefits of sustainable data sovereignty. German companies, however, place great importance on retaining control over their data stored in the cloud.<\/p>\n<p>This control is precisely the essence of true data sovereignty\u2013the uninterrupted authority over one&#8217;s own data. In contrast, major U.S. cloud providers may be legally required to make data accessible to American authorities, as mandated by the 2018 CLOUD Act. Despite advertising sovereignty, they often cannot actually deliver it in practice. Domestic companies thus risk violating the GDPR, which can result in significant fines.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"textLayer\"><span id=\"page18R_mcid0\" class=\"markedContent\"><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>The Business Impact of True Data Sovereignty<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A European cloud solution, hosted exclusively in German or Austrian data centers, offers companies the most reliable option and is an essential component of true data sovereignty. With such solutions, companies do not need to worry about GDPR violations and fines.<\/p>\n<p>Other core elements of true data sovereignty include high IT and compliance security, as well as transparent data storage and processing procedures. These enable data to be viewed around the clock. Open standards also play an important role, as they allow data to be migrated quickly, easily, and at no additional cost. In this way, companies avoid both economic and technical dependence on a particular provider (vendor lock-in).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stackit.de\/de\/datensouverane-cloud-epaper\/?utm_source=beitrag2&amp;utm_medium=text2&amp;utm_campaign=datensouveraenitaet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Open data standards without vendor lock-in \u2013 secure your ePaper now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stackit.de\/de\/datensouverane-cloud-epaper\/?utm_source=beitrag2&amp;utm_medium=banner2&amp;utm_campaign=datensouveraenitaet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25464 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-03-700x366.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-03-700x366.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-03-250x131.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-03-768x401.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-03-120x63.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.cloudmagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/240430-StackIT-Display-Banner-1200x627-03.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" role=\"region\" data-page-number=\"2\" aria-label=\"Page 2\" data-loaded=\"true\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure style=\"margin:36px 0;padding:0;\">\n<blockquote style=\"position:relative;margin:0;padding:30px 34px 28px;background:linear-gradient(135deg,#013a47 0%,#004a59 100%);border-radius:12px;box-shadow:0 10px 30px rgba(0,40,60,0.18);overflow:hidden;\"><p>\n<span aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"position:absolute;right:22px;top:6px;font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:90px;line-height:1;color:#0bb7fd;opacity:0.18;\">&rdquo;<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-family:'SF Mono','Monaco','Consolas',monospace;font-size:10.5px;color:#0bb7fd;letter-spacing:0.18em;text-transform:uppercase;margin-bottom:13px;\">\/\/ Key point<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin:0;font-size:1.15em;line-height:1.6;color:#f2fafd;font-weight:500;position:relative;\">As a company of the Schwarz Group, STACKIT can score with another added value: Due to the background in food retail, all solutions are stable and make companies crisis-proof and independent of economic fluctuations.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Lower Costs, More Trust<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"hidBq8bula90FG\" data-testid=\"pdf-renderer-viewer-container\">\n<div class=\"pdfViewer\" lang=\"en\" data-testid=\"pdf-viewer\">\n<div class=\"page\" role=\"region\" data-page-number=\"2\" aria-label=\"Page 2\" data-loaded=\"true\">\n<p class=\"textLayer\">Data-sovereign cloud solutions like those from STACKIT offer companies many advantages.
