At a time when much focus is on security and the increasing cyber threat, the issue of cloud computing and digital sovereignty also comes up. Storegate started its operations 20 years ago, long before digital sovereignty was a concept. We took the position as the Swedish alternative early on and have since been a full-service provider and complement to secure data within Sweden’s borders.
Through the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the EU has established a regulatory framework for data management with clear guidelines for companies and public organizations to follow. The GDPR applies to everyone operating in the EU and aims to ensure that personal data is handled in such a way that citizens’ privacy is protected.
Digital sovereignty to protect sensitive data
In the case of US legislation, under the Cloud Act, governments have the right to request the data that is stored and the disclosure of data risks breaching the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Digital sovereignty is a way to protect sensitive data and maintain control over it. By using a sovereign cloud service where data is only stored and managed within the borders of Sweden/EU, you protect your data from non-European legislation. You avoid the uncertainty of overseas cloud services and avoid the risk of foreign powers accessing the information your business stores.
We see how awareness around cybersecurity and privacy in the cloud is constantly growing and digital sovereignty has become a hot topic. In both the private and public sectors, the use of overseas cloud services is increasingly being questioned. Our solution has the advantage that it can be used either as a complement to GDPR-secure storage of sensitive data or as an end-to-end solution as a collaboration platform and for document management. This makes it easy for the organization to gain full control and ensure proper handling in accordance with the GDPR.

In our Swedish cloud service, you can handle sensitive data and personal data without worrying about transparency and the influence of foreign laws. At Storegate, the storage systems are located in Sweden and regulated under Swedish law. This makes it significantly easier for Swedish companies when it comes to GDPR and the US CLOUD Act.
