Sovereign data rooms: how companies truly protect their data

What are sovereign data rooms?

Sovereign data rooms are more than encrypted cloud storage: they are a protected digital space where a company stores, processes and shares all its data: exclusively under German law, in German data centers, separated from foreign systems.

The 5 building blocks of a sovereign data room

• Data sovereignty: All data resides exclusively in Germany: no CLOUD Act, no third-country access.
• Strict separation: No shared systems with other customers: every data room is isolated.
• Dedicated mail server: Email communication runs on dedicated infrastructure: not shared mailbox systems.
• Encryption at rest: All data is stored encrypted: even if someone gains physical access.
• Audit-proof archiving: Business-relevant data is archived GoBD-compliant and immutably.

From cloud to data room: The difference

An ordinary cloud stores data somewhere. A sovereign data room controls where it lives, who sees it and how long it stays: with open standards for export and portability.
