Sovereign Data Workshop
A one-day workshop for teams navigating EU data sovereignty requirements without giving up on modern cloud capabilities. The morning covers the regulatory landscape and your current exposure; the afternoon covers EU cloud providers, architecture patterns for a sovereign cloud, and a migration roadmap. You leave knowing which workloads to prioritise and what to recommend to leadership.

What is this?
There's a growing strategic case for running at least part of your data platform on sovereign cloud infrastructure. But does it make sense for your organisation? EU cloud providers differ wildly in maturity, hyperscalers offer EU data residency options, and it's hard to tell what actually changes your risk profile and what is just hype. Meanwhile the board or your compliance team expects a clear recommendation, and not every workload needs to move.
The Sovereign Data Workshop brings your team together for a structured, one-day assessment of whether (and how) to extend your data platform with sovereign capabilities. We work through your actual situation: your workloads, your regulatory context, your technical landscape.
How it works
What we cover
- ▸The regulatory landscape: GDPR, NIS2, DORA, CLOUD Act
- ▸Assessing your current exposure
- ▸What "sovereignty" actually means
- ▸EU cloud providers: capabilities, maturity, and trade-offs
- ▸Architecture patterns: how to build a sovereign cloud
- ▸Migration roadmap: effort, risk, phasing, and what to move first
What your team practises
- ▸Assess your data platform's regulatory exposure
- ▸Compare EU cloud providers against hyperscaler capabilities for your workloads
- ▸Decide which workloads to move and build a phased migration roadmap
What you get
- ✓A clear picture of your regulatory exposure: which regulations apply, where the gaps are, and what risk you carry today
- ✓An overview of sovereign cloud alternatives, where European providers match hyperscaler capabilities and where they fall short
- ✓A framework for deciding if and what to move, mapping workloads against regulatory requirements, technical readiness, and business priority
- ✓A migration roadmap: effort, risk, phasing, and what to move first
