Digital sovereignty starts with you: European alternatives for greater security

Digital services operated outside Europe are often subject to foreign legislation and can be restricted, monitored or shut down in the event of a conflict. This poses risks for citizens, businesses, public authorities and European democracy as a whole. Foreign laws – such as the US CLOUD Act – sometimes allow government access to data, and international providers can block or change their services according to their own rules.

European IT solutions, on the other hand, offer reliable data protection standards, legal certainty, economic independence and greater control over critical digital infrastructure. They strengthen European innovation, protect sensitive data and reduce political and economic dependencies.

In many cases, the switch is straightforward: there is now a European alternative for almost every common US tool that can be used without much effort.

Take advantage of the opportunity for greater digital sovereignty and simply try out one of the European alternatives – the switch is easier than you think.
