Digital sovereignty: between myth and reality How to arbitrate
summary
Examines how vendor-located data and foreign legal authorities (CLOUD Act, FISA §702, OFAC sanctions, EO 12333) can break availability, citing cases where email or cloud access was lost. Recommends mapping availability vs confidentiality needs, inventorying suppliers and hardware (e.g., Intel/AMD), insisting on escape paths, preferring open-source plus staffed operations, and treating “sovereign cloud” marketing with skepticism.
