Your data. Your control.
AWS Sovereign Cloud
Full performance of AWS, sovereignly operated in Europe. Maximum data sovereignty, compliance and security with the European Sovereign Cloud.
When sensitive data meets the cloud, two goals collide: speed of innovation and data sovereignty. With the AWS Sovereign Cloud in the European Sovereign Cloud, you combine both. valantic plans, implements and operates sovereign AWS environments that anchor data sovereignty, compliance and security in Europe, including EU-only operation, key sovereignty and zero trust principles.
What you gain in concrete terms: Clearly defined EU data spaces, sovereign KMS models, verifiable audit evidence and an operating model that combines governance and speed. This makes it possible to implement projects in regulated environments, from administration to KRITIS, without compromising on control and transparency.
Our AWS Competencies
Why Sovereign Cloud - now
Organizations in the public sector and regulated industries are under pressure to modernize and reduce costs while strengthening data sovereignty and compliance. Traditional cloud models deliver speed, but leave open questions about data location, key sovereignty and operational responsibility.
The AWS Sovereign Cloud within the European Sovereign Cloud closes this gap. You get the broad AWS service portfolio, from compute to AI, in a model that focuses on EU-only operation and sovereignty. Data, metadata and keys can be organized in such a way that legal and business requirements fit together.
Security architecture "Sovereign-by-Design"
Security is not an add-on, but a design principle. “Sovereign-by-design” means: zero trust from the network to the identity, end-to-end encryption and consistent separation of tasks.
AWS Nitro System reduces the attack surface of the hypervisor and supports strong isolation. In combination with KMS isolation, you retain key sovereignty, be it with BYOK, with external keys or with EU-bound key models. Every sensitive action is logged; break-glass processes are defined and traceable.
Compliance in the EU: GDPR, DORA, NIS2 & more
Compliance is a process, not just a tick box. Legal requirements are operationalized in the European Sovereign Cloud. This reduces coordination loops and makes audits efficient.

FAQ: Objections clarified
“Sovereign by Design” describes how AWS Global Regions fulfill sovereignty requirements and enable continuous innovation. The European Sovereign Cloud (ESC) is a dedicated AWS region in the EU, operated by EU residents and focused on more sensitive workloads and strict EU residency/compliance.
The AWS Sovereign Cloud relies on hardware-supported isolation with AWS Nitro, clear roles and KMS isolation. Administrative paths are minimized, sensitively logged and bound to approvals.
The operating model of the European Sovereign Cloud is designed to be EU-only. Data flows and support paths are designed in such a way that accountability obligations can be fulfilled – with traceable evidence.
Key sovereignty lies with you: BYOK/external models are possible. Rotations, access approvals and exceptions follow human-in-the-loop processes and can be audited.
Yes, via standardized landing zones, IaC and secure pipelines. We prioritize workloads according to risk/benefit and migrate iteratively.
The AWS Sovereign Cloud focuses on sovereignty as a design principle: EU-only operation, clear key models, greater separation of responsibilities and evidence-first processes.
A dedicated EU team accompanies you from assessment to build to run. Transparent status updates, fixed contact persons and clearly defined handovers.
