Public Sector Digital Sovereignty: Cloud and State Doctrine

For government bodies and local authorities, digital sovereignty is not optional — it is state doctrine. Sensitive public data must be hosted on a controlled cloud, beyond the reach of foreign law.

The "Cloud at the centre" doctrine

The doctrine requires sensitive state data to be hosted either on an internal cloud or on a commercial cloud SecNumCloud-qualified — therefore immune to the US CLOUD Act.

Which cloud for a public administration?

A qualified sovereign cloud guaranteeing European hosting, controlled operation and reversibility. Local authorities, facing the same citizen-trust stakes, should align on the same bar, consistent with NIS2.
