Global Data Sovereignty Report 2026

A priority for everyone. But gaps exist.

Everpure surveyed 2,100 enterprises across eight countries to evaluate strategic intent against real operational readiness. Nine in ten call data sovereignty a business concern, but most still don't have a formal strategy for it.

Section 1

The sovereignty gap

“We talk about it a lot internally now, but nothing has really changed, to be honest.”

—Senior management, banking (3,000–4,999 employees), Germany

57%

struggle to balance sovereignty with wider strategic priorities.

Awareness is high. Visibility isn’t.

Data sovereignty has moved from compliance footnote to boardroom risk. The strategy hasn't caught up. Organisations are reacting to the threats right in front of them, while the operational risks of not addressing sovereignty sit at the bottom of the list.

What’s really at stake

9%

rank protection from foreign government data requests as a top priority.

88%

believe a sovereignty failure could cost leaders their jobs.

Technology trade-offs and AI impact

“My biggest challenges are migrating legacy systems to sovereign clouds without downtime, closing the skill gap in compliance plus cloud tech, and balancing advanced features with data residency needs. Sovereign providers are improving but still lag hyperscalers on some AI tools.”

—Senior management, emergency services (5,000+ employees), India

Sovereignty is rewriting procurement

Sixteen times as many buyers now call sovereignty a significant factor in vendor selection.

2%

Only considered it significant a year ago.

32%

Consider it significant today.

85%

would sacrifice advanced features and functionality to partner with a sovereign cloud provider.

The execution challenge

“Currently, we prioritize storing highly sensitive business data locally in order to improve compliance, strengthen security, and build customer trust.”

—Senior management, healthcare—private (1,000–2,999 employees), Japan

Balancing sovereignty

We asked: How many host the majority or all of their data in local or sovereign infrastructure?
