Presentation
In an unstable geopolitical environment where cybercrime is becoming increasingly professional, control over your data depends not only on your tools but also on their origins. This intensive 2-day course teaches you to design a digital sovereignty strategy that protects you from technology dependencies and extraterritorial legal interference.
The program covers trusted supplier selection, open-source deployment, sovereign cloud architecture and legal data protection. Practical workshops help you inventory critical data, assess supplier maturity and prioritise action without obstructing innovation.
By the end of the course, you will have a validated roadmap covering a timeline, an initial budget estimate, resilience indicators and a continuity scenario. Combine AI, blockchain and innovation while ensuring your organisation's digital independence.
