Why We Do What We Do
Digital sovereignty and data sovereignty are critical concepts in today’s interconnected world, transcending the traditional boundaries of state, organization, and individual to assert control and governance over digital assets and information within the sprawling global digital infrastructure. Digital sovereignty encapsulates the authority and capacity of entities to manage their digital environment, ensuring their autonomy in the cyber realm. This extends to data sovereignty, which specifically focuses on the control over data—where it resides, how it’s processed, and under which jurisdiction it falls.
These principles are vital in an era where data not only fuels the digital economy but also embodies a significant portion of global interactions, making the governance of digital spaces and data a paramount concern for ensuring security, privacy, and economic competitiveness.
“Everyone who is using or is connected to the Internet has a right to their data assets as most of the time they are the subject of the data and that data has value and can be viewed as a capital. Technologies which empower individuals to regain and maintain agency and authority over their content, to enforce their own terms and conditions for use and eliminate access to the data upon breach of terms is the necessary next step.”
