- Cloud Sovereignty
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, maintaining control over your data and infrastructure is more critical than ever. At Cloudar, we understand that cloud sovereignty isn’t just about where your data resides—it’s about having full command over your digital destiny while leveraging the innovation and agility that cloud technologies offer.
But what does control mean to you? Control can be viewed through multiple lenses, each reflecting the unique priorities and challenges your organization faces. Understanding these lenses helps us tailor solutions that align with your specific needs.
The Lenses of Sovereignty
Our unique approach focuses on the Lenses of Sovereignty, which are the key areas our clients consider when addressing cloud sovereignty:
Compliance
Navigating the complex web of laws and regulations is a significant challenge. Compliance means understanding and adhering to all applicable legal requirements and being prepared to demonstrate this compliance to auditors. We help you achieve peace of mind, knowing that your operations meet all necessary standards.
Data Protection
Protecting sensitive data is paramount. This involves limiting exposure outside of your defined data perimeter and implementing robust measures to prevent unauthorized access. We work with you to safeguard your data, ensuring it remains secure both in transit and at rest.
Data Access
Controlling who has access to your data is crucial for maintaining security and integrity. Implementing strict access controls ensures that only authorized personnel can view or manipulate sensitive information, reducing the risk of internal and external threats.
Resilience
Is your business prepared for unforeseen events? Resilience involves having backups, the ability to move between providers, and operating across multiple locations. This ensures high availability and continuity of service, aligning with the principle of Availability in the CIA triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability).
Privacy
Respecting the privacy of personal and sensitive information builds trust with your customers and partners. This aligns with Confidentiality, ensuring that sensitive information is accessible only to those authorized to see it. We help you align your cloud practices with privacy expectations and regulations, reinforcing ethical data handling.
Visibility
Do you know where your data is at all times? Visibility means having insight into your data’s location and the behavior of your systems. It’s about ensuring everything operates as expected, supporting the Integrity aspect of the CIA triad. We provide tools and processes that enhance visibility, allowing you to monitor and verify your cloud environment continuously.

Step 1: Identify and Refine Requirements
We begin by engaging deeply with your team to understand your unique needs and challenges. This involves:
- Comprehensive Analysis: Evaluating your current IT environment, including infrastructure, applications, and data flows.
- Data Assessment: Identifying the types of data you handle and their classification levels.
- Regulatory Review: Understanding your compliance obligations across different jurisdictions.

This collaborative assessment ensures that all sovereignty requirements are identified, prioritized, and aligned with your business objectives.
Step 2: Define Sovereignty Levels
With a clear understanding of your needs, we help you define the appropriate levels of sovereignty across your IT landscape:
