Digital sovereignty:

European institutions remain dependent on U.S. cloud

From a recent article by Computable shows that European educational institutions have little control over their data. Due to the dominance of American cloud vendors such as Microsoft and Google, it is unclear who exactly has access to what data and how this relates to the AVG/GDPR.

This dependence is not limited to education. Governments, healthcare institutions and businesses rely on the same platforms, making them vulnerable to geopolitical tensions and commercial interests outside Europe.

An all-Dutch cloud solution is still a long way off. Therefore, it is essential that organizations opt now for hybrid strategies in which on-premises storage plays a crucial role. This keeps data under their own control and minimizes risks.
