Data & AI Sovereignty

More control over your data, AI and technology dependencies

Data & AI Sovereignty

Cloud platforms and AI models create enormous potential — and new dependencies. Our Data & AI Sovereignty advisory gives you transparency over the dependencies that matter and strengthens your strategic room to manoeuvre.

We help you set up data, AI applications and infrastructure so that you stay flexible, secure and self-determined.

Sovereignty across four Dimensions

Strategy & Governance

Sovereignty strategy, budget, accountabilities, compliance and risk management processes, and transparency over the AI applications in use. 

Data

Data lineage, meta and master data management, data classification, and the handling of sensitive data. 

AI Models & Applications

Type and intensity of AI usage, open source versus vendor models, data control in model training, quality management, plus standards and contract terms for external AI services. 

Cloud & Data Infrastructure

Private cloud readiness, encryption and access, location and disaster recovery, standardised frameworks, and incident management. 

From dependent to in control

Sovereignty does not mean running everything yourself. What matters is keeping your options open: on vendors, cloud infrastructure, AI models and data processing.

That is how you reduce critical dependencies and build the foundation for data and AI architectures that stay resilient over time.

Do you know how many external AI services run in your core processes? And which of them feed your data into model training?

Dependencies rarely come from one big decision — they build up through many small ones. That is why we offer two entry points: the Readiness Check for a quick self-assessment in ten minutes, online and free of charge, and the Assessment Workshop for an in-depth analysis with your team, including a maturity profile and roadmap.

Our Offerings

Offering 1: Readiness Check (online)

Want to know quickly where your organisation stands?

Our Readiness Check gives you a first assessment of your level of sovereignty and identifies the most important areas for action.

Start the Readiness Check

Offering 2: Assessment Workshop

How sovereign is your organisation today?

Our assessment shows where you stand on data and AI sovereignty, which risks exist and where action is needed.

All four dimensions are examined in detail — applied to your actual systems, models and contracts.

Maturity is rated on four levels: Initial, Reactive, Managed and Future-Ready — per dimension and overall.

The result: a clear maturity level, transparent dependencies and a concrete roadmap.

Format: preparatory interviews, a facilitated workshop (1–2 days, on site or remote) and a detailed evaluation

Who it is for: AI Officer, CDO, CIO plus CTO and CISO — tech and legal profiles together

Outcome: a maturity profile across the four dimensions, prioritised measures and a roadmap
