Why Data Sovereignty and Data Resilience Are Business-Critical
In an increasingly regulated and interconnected digital world, where your data lives and how resilient it is, is no longer a purely technical question. They are business-critical decisions that affect compliance, security, customer trust, and operational continuity.
Organizations face two closely connected priorities: maintaining control over where their data is stored and under which law it is governed, ensuring that data remains available, protected, and recoverable under all conditions.
Defining Data Sovereignty and Data Resilience
Together, these priorities define data sovereignty and data resilience, foundational requirements for organizations operating under regulatory, compliance, and governance frameworks such as GDPR, industry mandates, and internal risk policies.
For customers demanding both, Leaseweb offers Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) that places full control of data location, access, and governance directly in the customer’s hands, enabling them to meet legal obligations without compromising operational resilience.
Building Resilience Without Losing Control
Leaseweb allows customers to plan resilient architectures without compromising data sovereignty, leveraging jurisdiction aligned data centers, customer defined replication models, and seamless integration with existing backup, disaster recovery, and security solutions. Customers retain full control over where data resides and how quickly it can be restored.
The Limits of Hyperscale Cloud Transparency
Many hyperscale cloud platforms optimize for convenience, but this often comes at the cost of transparency and control. Automated replication, shared responsibility ambiguity, and complex legal frameworks can make it difficult to answer a simple question:
Where exactly is my data, and who has access to it?
An Infrastructure-Centric Approach to Data Control
Leaseweb takes a different approach.
By delivering infrastructure centric cloud and hosting services, Leaseweb enables customers to retain clear data ownership, and align their infrastructure with internal risk and compliance models, without compromise.
This approach is particularly well suited to regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, legal, and the public sector, as well as SaaS providers serving international customers and enterprises modernizing legacy workloads. It is also ideal for organizations seeking European based infrastructure with global reach.
Sovereignty and Resilience by Design
Data sovereignty and resilience must be built in from day one, and Leaseweb delivers infrastructure that keeps data control, compliance, and scalability firmly in your hands.
