The role a domestic cloud solution can play in digital trust

Pasi Hautamäki, Senior Business Developer at Tietoevry Industry, Public 360°, speaks on the role a domestic cloud can play in digital trust.

Domestic cloud is a type of cloud architecture enabling compliance with relevant digital sovereignty requirements and regulations. The rise of AI, 5G and other data-heavy technologies have led to discussions around the need for digital sovereignty.

Utilising Ascertia’s SigningHub, 360° Sign provides a unified, fortified method of e-signing for users that are looking to significantly reduce the friction with handling documents that require undisputable e-signatures. A unified signing approach provides the option of both local and remote signing for users, depending on their requirements.

The service is part of sovereign cloud, a smart data storage solution that protects users against the changing geopolitical landscape and new regulations.

But why is domestic cloud necessary?

Put simply, it allows users to retain ownership, trust and control over their data. As cloud data centres grow in utilisation, so too do regulations such as the US Cloud Act that conflict with the European Union’s rulings on cloud. It’s never been more important to be sure in your storage solutions.

A domestic cloud ensures all data, including metadata, stays on sovereign soil and prevents foreign access regardless of circumstance. It should be part of a multi-cloud strategy, though it requires an understanding that not all data – nor cloud solution - is the same. Each cloud has its own value proposition and organisations should plan their cloud strategy accordingly.

Tietoevry’s domestic (sovereign) Cloud protects and empowers users, offering:
