With recent developments in the United States, the importance of data sovereignty is becoming increasingly clear: companies and organizations want to have—and keep—control over their own data.
In this blog, we explain why data sovereignty matters and how ARGO-CLOUD supports it.
Many companies rely on cloud services from international tech giants such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. While these services are user-friendly and scalable, storing data beyond national borders comes with certain risks:
Legal complications: Data stored in another country may be subject to foreign laws, such as the U.S. CLOUD Act, which can grant the U.S. government access to data, even if it is stored outside the United States.
Data leaks and cyber threats: Sensitive business information may be vulnerable to data breaches or cyberattacks if security standards do not comply with local regulations.
Loss of control: When data is managed by foreign entities, companies may lose full control over their information and face limitations in how they can use it.
Within the EU, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a key pillar in the field of data sovereignty. The GDPR imposes strict requirements on how personal data is collected, processed, and stored. Additionally, various countries are working on supplementary legislation to keep data within national borders.
We use open source software and solutions based on open standards. We can tell you exactly where your data is stored—or even run everything within your own organization. Want to leave us? You can take all your data with you. There’s no abstraction layer that complicates migration.
Our services are hosted in the Dutch data centers of BIT. BIT complies with the strictest European laws and regulations, including GDPR, NIS2, and the DSA. In addition, they are ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certified.
