What is the European Cloud Sovereignty Framework (ECSF)?

Clear answers on digital sovereignty, the ECSF, debate arguments and practical steps.

The ECSF is a European assessment framework for cloud sovereignty. It helps public organizations to describe sovereignty risks, set requirements for purchasing and compare the current and desired situation.

The framework shifts the conversation from general claims, such as ‘European’ or ‘sovereign’, to testable properties. It looks at jurisdiction, data, operations, chains, technology, security and sustainability, among other things.
