Can you guarantee where your clients’ data lives—and who has access to it?
For MSPs ready to lead the market, Varity and SC Synergy offer the infrastructure, expertise, and flexibility to turn data sovereignty into a competitive advantage.
Why Data Sovereignty is Now Mission-Critical
As explained, verified and stated in different formats data sovereignty means that data is subject to the laws of the country where it is stored or processed. This has far-reaching implications for MSPs and their customers—especially as AI adoption accelerates, and geopolitical tensions increase regulatory scrutiny.
- The EU’s GDPR was just the beginning.
- Countries like Germany (BDSG-new), France (SecNumCloud), and China now require strict localization.
- Over 75% of UK organizations consider data sovereignty a key part of their IT strategy (OVHcloud survey).
- AI technologies raise new concerns over data usage, transfer, and jurisdiction.
MSPs can no longer rely solely on hyperscalers. Clients want or/need transparency, control, and European accountability.
