Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Digital sovereignty is the ability of a governmental or private organization to control and protect its digital infrastructure (hardware and software), data, and technologies without relying too heavily on foreign providers or external companies, while ensuring compliance with local laws.
Digital sovereignty has become an area of focus for policymakers and organizations who are concerned that too much power and control over data, services, and infrastructure has been placed in the hands of a small number of tech companies. Organizations in many regions are becoming increasingly aware of their level of dependence on foreign cloud infrastructure providers. They are also concerned about the sovereignty of data, infrastructure, and operations that are hosted in foreign-owned cloud service offerings.
Organizations are working to help mitigate the risks associated with foreign control or influence over data and operations while ensuring compliance with local regulations. IT leaders can use solutions that enable digital sovereignty to protect data and preserve the integrity of their operations. Solutions that enable digital sovereignty can include encryption, data residency controls, access controls, governance and audit capabilities, sovereign cloud platforms, and airgapped environments. These and other digital sovereignty solutions address organizations’ needs for more control over their vendor-provided IT estates. The ultimate goal of digital sovereignty is to build and maintain a secure and resilient IT ecosystem.
CIOs should start by building a sovereignty maturity model. Start by assessing current infrastructure with Nutanix tools like Prism Central for visibility and Flow Security Central for risk analysis. Then, define milestones:
- Data localization
- Policy enforcement
- Sovereign cloud integration
- Automated compliance
- Zero-trust architecture
With Nutanix, you can track progress through KPIs, automate governance, and evolve toward full digital sovereignty—without sacrificing innovation.
Nutanix enables cloud-smart independence. Our platform is hardware-agnostic, hypervisor-flexible, and cloud-neutral, allowing organizations to avoid lock-in and pivot between providers as needed. We support open standards, API-driven orchestration, and local partnerships with sovereign cloud providers—so you can build a resilient digital foundation that aligns with national interests and business continuity goals.
With Nutanix, you control your data—always. Our hybrid multicloud platform gives CIOs the ability to deploy workloads where compliance demands it—on-premises, in sovereign clouds, or across hyperscalers—while maintaining centralized governance. Through policy-based automation, data locality controls, and integrated security, we help you meet jurisdictional requirements without compromising agility. Whether you're operating in the EU, Middle East, or Asia-Pacific, Nutanix helps build compliance into your infrastructure.
CIOs need audit-ready infrastructure. The Nutanix platform includes native logging, role-based access control (RBAC), data encryption, and compliance dashboards that simplify reporting for frameworks like GDPR, NIS2, and ISO 27001. With Nutanix, you can automate compliance enforcement and generate real-time audit trails, reducing the burden on your teams and ensuring you're always ready for regulatory scrutiny.
Digital sovereignty is a strategic differentiator. Customers and regulators want assurance that their data is protected and governed responsibly. Nutanix helps deliver that assurance through transparent, secure, and compliant infrastructure. By demonstrating control over your digital operations, you build brand trust, reduce reputational risk, and ensure resilience in the face of geopolitical or regulatory shifts. With Nutanix, sovereignty becomes a business enabler, not a constraint.
