Data privacy, data sovereignty and digital sovereignty - which is which?
The foundation of digital sovereignty
Data privacy is one of the most well-known criteria for data processing and refers to the permissible processing and storage of personal data. It is a legal protection against the misuse of information. Therefore, one point of reference when selecting cloud computing providers is the compliance of their offerings with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Data protection and data security differ from data privacy and refer to the technical protection of data against theft or manipulation. This can include certain security measures in the data center. Certifications such as ISO 27001 provide information about the provider’s compliance measures.
Control over your own data
the big picture
The concept of digital sovereignty is completed by the facets of jurisdictional, operational, and technological sovereignty. Jurisdictional sovereignty means that a company’s data cannot inadvertently leave its jurisdiction and cannot be accessed from other jurisdictions. The location of a cloud provider’s headquarters is particularly important here, while the location of the data is less important. The local legislation of the provider could in certain cases allow third parties to access the data (US CLOUD Act), even if the data is located in Europe. Technological sovereignty and operational sovereignty describe the transparent control of all processes and the ability to trace data processing and the software components used. Certifications such as ISAE 3402 provide guidance.
