“Over the past year, several governments and companies outside the US have
decided they can't trust American tech companies. So, digital sovereignty has
become an important goal. While American companies, as you can imagine, aren't
happy about that, they're now helping European organizations to achieve their
digital sovereignty goals.
One of the first of these was Linux and cloud-native computing powerhouse Red
Hat. Late last year, Red Hat became the first US company to announce its own
EU-specific digital sovereignty program, Red Hat Confirmed Sovereign Support
(RHCSS). This initiative guarantees critical European IT operations remain
under EU control.
Now, Red Hat is backing this initiative with its open-source Digital
Sovereignty Readiness Assessment toolkit. This tool is designed to give
governments and enterprises a concrete way to measure how much control they
actually have over their data, infrastructure, and operations in an era of
geopolitical cloud anxiety.
This new web-based, self-service survey walks organizations through 21
multiple-choice questions. Areas covered include data residency, encryption key
control, disaster recovery planning for geopolitical events, and the ability to
prevent sensitive data from crossing borders. The goal is to move digital
sovereignty from vague policy talk to a measurable "sovereignty baseline" that
IT and business leaders can act on.”
