Meet the highest compliance requirements without compromising on innovation, performance, or security. Start your journey into the sovereign cloud future and get your answers:
Regulated industries and public sector organizations require strict data localization, operational autonomy, and full control – without sacrificing modern cloud innovations like AI, ML and high-performance services. The AWS European Sovereign Cloud launched early 2026 and offers exactly this combination.
Do you need to comply with NIS-2, DORA, GDPR, or national data protection laws?
Then the European Sovereign Cloud is your solution.
You require clear and enforceable control over where data is stored, who can access it, and which legal framework applies. This encompasses both content and metadata.
The ability to independently control, operate, and maintain your digital infrastructure – ideally through local personnel, local governance structures, and local supply chains.
Your digital operation must be subject to the laws of your own country or region and must not be exposed to any foreign influence.
This includes avoiding hidden dependencies caused by corporate structures or cross-border legal risks.
Sovereignty must be auditable. This means that technical control mechanisms (such as encryption, access protocols and isolation), organizational structures, and legal constructs must be transparently implemented and externally verifiable.
As a standalone AWS Partition, the ESC is as independent from the global AWS infrastructure as AWS China, thus offering a completely self-contained cloud.
