Digital Sovereignty
Against the backdrop of global uncertainties and growing dependencies, digital sovereignty is increasingly coming into focus.
Between dependency and progress: 6 hurdles on the path to digital independence

Digital sovereignty begins with the freedom to choose the right provider.
Dependence on individual providers makes long-term planning and the implementation of innovative strategies difficult. Independence is crucial for sustainable success.
Claranet is a cloud-agnostic service provider. With partnerships and extensive expertise in AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, we enable companies to find the best individual solution. Our broad portfolio of multi-, hybrid and private cloud solutions helps you to reduce your dependency on individual technology providers.

Technology must not be a one-way street.
Lock-in through proprietary systems can hinder growth and flexibility. Switching options keep your company agile and fit for the future.
Claranet relies on open standards, open source and interoperable technologies such as Kubernetes to ensure the portability of data and applications.

Your digital infrastructure must be flexible enough to meet new requirements.
Whether you can quickly implement new market requirements or internal changes depends largely on the flexibility of your IT environment.
With its own data centres and comprehensive managed cloud offering, Claranet creates the basis for mastering these requirements. Our broad portfolio supports companies in developing and operating independent and secure IT solutions.

Digital sovereignty must master compliance securely.
Requirements such as GDPR, industry-specific or international regulations can be complex. The right IT strategy brings clarity and legal certainty.
Claranet supports companies in recognising regulatory and legal risks and addressing them with comprehensive solutions at every level. With European data centres, GDPR-compliant services and the implementation of legally compliant processes, we enable the secure and legally compliant processing of data.

No digital independence without a robust cyber security strategy.
In the face of rising cyber threats and geopolitical tensions, a resilient IT strategy is becoming increasingly important for companies. Appropriate security solutions protect your data from threats and secure your position in an increasingly globalised, digital economy.
Claranet supports its customers with comprehensive security solutions. With certified security standards and a comprehensive cyber security portfolio, Claranet strengthens digital resilience and minimises failure risks - even in highly dynamic and risky scenarios.

An important building block of digital sovereignty: knowledge and expertise.
The lack of resources and expertise to develop and utilise new digital technologies limits the ability of companies to develop independent IT strategies.
Training and education keep your employees up to date and ensure that digital challenges can be actively overcome. In addition, Claranet provides support with infrastructure operations, specialised managed services and access to state-of-the-art technologies.
Take back control: together we can strengthen your digital independence. Our experts will advise you on your individual strategy with no obligation.
For us, digital sovereignty means maintaining control over data, processes and technologies in a networked world with unavoidable dependencies - through clear strategies, technological foresight, innovative solutions and strong partnerships at your side.
