Digital sovereignty is the ability to maintain control over data, AI, infrastructure and operations, even when conditions change.

For business leaders, that means stronger resilience, reduced dependency and board-ready accountability. For technical leaders, it means enforceable controls, runtime governance, workload portability and audit evidence.
