Empowering Organizations with Digital Sovereignty Solutions
NTT DATA has been supporting its clients in managing data sovereignty over the past decade and is now evolving toward the broader concept of digital sovereignty. This encompasses control over an organization's digital infrastructure, data, and technology. Our value proposition focuses on helping organizations reduce their reliance on foreign providers and safeguard their digital assets in compliance with local regulations, while also strengthening their cybersecurity and autonomy. To facilitate this process, we offer a comprehensive strategy that includes the adoption, design, implementation, and operation of digital sovereignty solutions, particularly in hybrid and sovereign cloud environments.

Location of Data and Regulatory Compliance
The geographic location of data storage is critical, as regulations like the GDPR in Europe or the Personal Data Protection Act in other countries require sensitive data to remain within specific national or regional boundaries. Enterprises and public organizations must ensure their cloud providers offer options to store data in local or regional data centers in compliance with data sovereignty laws.
In NTT DATA we support our customers in meeting these requirements by designing technology architectures that are compliant by design. With extensive knowledge and experience in AWS environments, we ensure data sovereignty and have been actively collaborating with customers in recent years to address data sovereignty challenges specific to AWS.
Cybersecurity
Control Over Data and Accessibility
Digital sovereignty also encompasses the exclusive control organizations must have over their data and information. This includes ownership, management, and ensuring restricted, controlled access in compliance with local laws. It is crucial to ensure that cloud providers do not have unauthorized access to stored data and that the organization using the cloud has the necessary tools to encrypt and protect its data effectively.
In NTT DATA we leverage AWS services to ensure our clients maintain full control and secure accessibility of their data.
Cybersecurity
Technological Dependence and Operational Sovereignty
Many organizations recognize the need to manage their technology dependencies and operational sovereignty. When using public cloud providers for key services, there is a risk of becoming dependent on their platforms, which can make it difficult to migrate to or create a private cloud. As you adopt vendor-specific services, this dependency increases. Evaluating the use of multi-cloud or hybrid technologies is key to maintaining control and avoiding vendor lock-in.
In NTT DATA we propose to minimize this dependency and ensure long-term operational sovereignty. With decades of experience in on-premise environments, we reuse our expertise in public cloud and outsourced service management.
Cybersecurity
Security and Privacy
In the public cloud, security is shared between the cloud provider and the user organization. It is crucial to consider what security measures the provider offers to protect the infrastructure and stored data. Organizations should ensure that encryption, authentication, and monitoring mechanisms are aligned with their internal security policies and that the provider complies with international standards such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2.
In NTT DATA we support our customers in maximizing the security and privacy of their digital assets in the cloud, implementing policies that protect against external threats and even the service providers themselves. In addition, it helps them comply with local or regional data privacy regulations.
