Use any cloud. Stay in control of all of them.
Most organisations try to close the sovereignty gap through provider selection. They choose a cloud with EU data centres, sign a DPA, and assume the problem is solved. It isn't. Sovereignty is a property of your governance model — not the provider you select. Where your data physically sits matters. How it's operated, governed, and controlled at runtime matters more.
You need control over your data, over the systems that manage it, compliance with applicable law, and operational resilience. Partial coverage isn't sovereignty — it's exposure with a compliance layer on top.
Residency tells you where data is stored. Sovereignty tells you who controls it at runtime — and under which legal jurisdiction. These aren't the same question.
Can you define, deploy, and govern workloads across your full infrastructure — hyperscalers included — without your control model fragmenting at the boundary?
Provider concentration is a sovereignty risk. If your operations depend on one provider's terms, pricing, or availability, you don't fully control your infrastructure.
A sovereign cloud label or EU-region option doesn't transfer sovereignty to your organisation. Sovereignty is a property of how you operate — not which logo is on the data centre.
When an organisation moves a workload to a cloud with EU data centres, data residency is solved. What isn't solved: who holds operational access, which corporate chain the provider sits under, and whether your governance model extends to that environment.
The CLOUD Act applies to US-headquartered providers globally — regardless of where data is physically stored. Access requests can be issued without notifying the data subject or the data controller. That isn't a residency question. It's a governance question.
emma is EU-headquartered, with no non-EU parent entity and no CLOUD Act exposure. More importantly, emma operates across your infrastructure as a neutral governance layer — you maintain full control, regardless of which providers sit underneath.
emma is a cloud operations platform, not a cloud provider. We don't own your infrastructure, we don't lock you in, and we don't compete with your cloud vendors. You maintain full control over your environments while emma operates across them.
For regulated workloads with full EU residency assurance.
With emma enforcing EU governance boundaries.
Govern on-premises and hybrid estates alongside cloud.
The Sovereignty Assessment maps your current posture across data control, operational governance, compliance continuity, and resilience — then shows you where the gaps are.
emma is a cloud operations platform for distributed infrastructure, not a provider — we don't own your infrastructure, lock you in, or compete with your cloud vendors. You maintain full control while we orchestrate across them.
