Whitepaper by Dr. Sven Seiler (Partner, Reply Group) and Michael Wahlers (Head of Technology, Amazon Web Services). The whitepaper is in German: “Souveräne Cloud-Strategien für Deutschland”.
A practical guide for enterprises, the public sector and critical infrastructure operators on moving to the cloud with full data sovereignty — covering Schrems II, the US CLOUD Act, NIS2 and a comparison of sovereign cloud alternatives.
At its core: a decision compass with 23 categories
The whitepaper develops a decision compass on two levels with 23 categories in total. It makes cloud decisions under sovereignty requirements traceable instead of leaving them to gut feeling. It adds background, references (including Bitkom, BSI and ZEW) and practical guardrails from strategy to operations.
How the compass works in practice is described in the article Sovereign Cloud Decisions – From Gut Feeling to a Reliable Decision Compass.
