Why digital sovereignty is a fundamental issue
Dependency on a handful of dominant technology players — US hyperscalers, proprietary software vendors — is not inevitable. It exposes your organisation to concrete risks: unilateral price increases, service outages, data transfers outside the EU, imposed changes to contractual terms.
Ekioo helps you regain leverage and build a more independent, more resilient IS.
Our areas of intervention
Dependency audit
- Mapping of critical suppliers and single points of failure
- Lock-in assessment by domain (cloud, email, office suite, ERP…)
- Associated risk analysis (continuity, confidentiality, cost)
Sovereign alternatives
- Identification and qualification of open source or European alternatives
- Functional and technical benchmarks
- Progressive migration strategy without service disruption
- Examples: collaborative email, office suite, storage, video conferencing, CRM…
Controlled hosting
- Hosting in France or Europe (HDS, SecNumCloud, ISO 27001…)
- On-premise or private cloud solutions according to your needs
- Multi-cloud or hybrid strategy to avoid vendor lock-in
Resilience and business continuity
- Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)
- Recovery tests and simulation exercises
- Redundancy of critical systems
- Crisis management and degraded mode procedures
Regulatory compliance
- GDPR: data transfers outside the EU, digital sub-processors
- NIS2: resilience requirements for essential and important entities
- Contractual reversibility and data portability clauses
Our conviction
Digital sovereignty is not a technological step backwards. It is a pragmatic approach that consists of choosing dependencies knowingly, diversifying them, and maintaining control over what truly matters.
