Sovereign Cloud for Law Firms & Public Bodies: What to Look For

Why law firms and public bodies need a sovereign cloud

Law firms process client data, public bodies process citizen data – both among the most sensitive data there is. The requirements are clear: data sovereignty in Germany, GDPR compliance without third-country transfers and audit-proof archiving. A sovereign cloud is the only viable solution.

The 5 core requirements for law firms

• Client confidentiality: Data may reside exclusively in Germany – no US access, no CLOUD Act.
• GoBD-compliant archiving: Emails must be stored in an audit-proof and immutable way.
• Duty of confidentiality: Clear contract structures under German law, no subcontractors abroad.
• Access control: Regulated user management with delegable rights.
• Fail-safety: Professional backups and restoration – data loss is not an option.

The 5 core requirements for public bodies

• Digital sovereignty: Full data ownership under German law.
• Documentation & auditability: Traceable logs for every audit.
• Independence: No dependency on individual US corporations.
• Scalability: From small offices to large administrations.
• German support: Contacts in Germany, not in call centers abroad.
