Digital Sovereignty Assessment

Arvato Systems offers specialized professional services to help organizations achieve digital sovereignty on AWS, including the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (ESC). Our services are designed for customers who require strict EU data residency, regulatory compliance, operational transparency, and independence from non‑EU jurisdictions - without sacrificing the scalability and innovation of AWS.

Service Overview

Digital sovereignty is increasingly critical for organizations operating under strict regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, NIS2, DORA, or national sector‑specific requirements. Arvato Systems provides end‑to‑end consulting, architecture, and implementation services to help customers design, migrate, and operate workloads in a sovereignty‑aligned AWS environment.
