Understanding who truly owns your data
Data residency
vs data sovereignty
Data sovereignty is no longer a niche concern; it's a strategic imperative for UK businesses. As our recent report, 'The digital sovereignty revolution: What UK businesses need to know' found, 84% of UK IT leaders are concerned about the potential risks associated with geopolitical developments and their impact on data access and control. The difference between data residency and data sovereignty is crucial in this context.
Data residency ensures that your data is stored within a defined geographical location. However, if the cloud provider is subject to another legal jurisdiction, your data may still be at risk. Data sovereignty, on the other hand, guarantees that your data is not only stored within a specific location but is also subject only to the laws of that location.
The risks associated with data residency are real. 37% of UK IT leaders worry that the US government could sequester their data, and 43% do not trust Big Tech with their data. Without data sovereignty, businesses risk exposing themselves to legal risks, regulatory non-compliance, and erosion of customer trust.
At Civo, we understand the importance of data sovereignty. That's why our UK Sovereign Cloud is designed to provide businesses with complete control over their data, ensuring it remains within the UK and is subject only to UK law. With Civo, you can trust that your data is secure, compliant, and sovereign.

The term ‘sovereign cloud’ is used to describe a cloud infrastructure that upholds the principles of ‘data sovereignty’. The clearest definition is maintaining full control of data within legal boundaries of one nation.
In broader terms, it means that data stored in a sovereign cloud is only subject to the legal protections and laws of the country in which the data resides, hosted by a cloud provider that is registered and headquartered in the country where the data lives, and is never sent offshore for processing or support.
