Sovereign Cloud · Made in Germany
A sovereign cloud without compromises
A sovereign cloud means: your data stays in Germany, is subject to German law and is protected from third-country access. Souvera Workspace is the sovereign cloud for email, files, office and video conferencing – without US dependency and without the CLOUD Act.

Your data is subject exclusively to German and European law. No foreign law can reach your data.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about sovereign clouds
The most important answers about sovereign cloud solutions from Germany.
What is a sovereign cloud?
A sovereign cloud stores and processes data exclusively in Germany and is subject only to German or European law. It is independent of foreign laws such as the US CLOUD Act, giving you real legal and technical control over your data.
Why is the US CLOUD Act a problem?
The CLOUD Act allows US authorities to access data of US providers – even if stored in Europe. Even EU data centers of Microsoft or Google don't protect against this. A sovereign provider without a US parent company is not affected.
How does Souvera differ from Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?
The core difference is sovereignty: your data resides exclusively in German data centers, is subject to German law and is not exposed to the CLOUD Act. In addition, every customer gets a dedicated mail server instead of shared infrastructure.
Is a sovereign cloud as easy to use?
Yes. Souvera unites email, files, online office, chat and video conferencing in one interface – with one login and a modern user experience. Your staff needs no retraining.
Who is a sovereign cloud suitable for?
For companies of any size, law firms, public bodies, educational institutions and organisations that must work GDPR-compliant – wherever data protection, legal certainty and independence matter.
How long does the migration take?
Your Souvera workspace is ready within minutes of ordering. The integrated mail importer fetches your existing emails automatically via IMAP from your old provider – migration without data loss and without downtime.
