The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is designed to meet stringent EU regulatory requirements including GDPR. It follows the Sovereign Reference Framework (ESC-SRF) with independent third-party audits. The infrastructure provides governance independence, operational control, data residency, and technical isolation.
Can you migrate our existing AWS workloads to the Sovereign Cloud?
Yes. We specialize in migrating existing AWS workloads to the European Sovereign Cloud. This includes re-architecting applications to use available services, setting up proper account structures, and ensuring all data residency requirements are met during and after migration.
