Industry-specific
Sovereignty has many facets
Digital sovereignty means different things depending on the industry. We understand your specific requirements and regulations.
Logistics
Logistics companies need highly available and integrable systems. Open interface standards, real-time data access, and multi-cloud for global applications.
Retail / Retail
Merchants don't want to lose their customer data to marketplace operators. Sovereignty means: their own e-commerce platforms, their own customer loyalty apps, and the ability to analyze purchasing behavior data themselves.
Production
Intellectual property in production data such as machine data and recipes must be protected. Local data acquisition and analysis at the machine (edge/IIoT) with central control.
Banks & Insurance Companies
Strict regulatory compliance (BaFin, DORA) and maximum data protection. Data storage in certified environments, audit rights available at any time.
Public Sector
Authorities explicitly prioritise European solutions and digital independence. Cloud services must comply with EU law, and open-source software is preferred.
healthcare
Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers process highly sensitive patient data and must simultaneously meet the highest standards of data protection, availability, and regulatory compliance. Secure IT infrastructures, certified data centers, and digital processes form the basis for modern patient care.
Designing secure digital healthcare – full control over patient data and critical healthcare IT.
Practical examples
This is how we implement sovereignty
No matter what situation you are in – whether it's cloud strategy, new regulations or technology changes – with our sovereignty architecture you are prepared.
Cloud migration with sovereignty
Initial situation:
A manufacturing company wants to move to the cloud, but has concerns about US providers and the protection of sensitive production data.
Our solution
q.beyond develops a dual cloud strategy with a sovereign German private cloud for production data and Microsoft Azure for less critical applications.
Result:
The company leverages the advantages of cloud computing while retaining full control over its core assets. No data leaves the EU legal area without an explicit decision.
Masterfully implement NIS2 compliance
Initial situation:
A medium-sized utility company is facing NIS2 requirements and is unsure which systems are affected and how to become compliant without Digitalisation slowing down
Our solution
q.beyond performs a sovereignty check, identifies dependent systems, replaces insecure remote software with EU-hosted alternatives, and establishes continuous monitoring.
Result:
The company proactively complies with NIS2. All tools used are subject to European law – no hidden backdoors, full auditability.
Switch to SaaS without risk
Initial situation:
An online retailer is dissatisfied with their current SaaS solution, but switching seems risky due to data migration and business interruption.
Our solution:
Through q.beyond's modular integration, data is stored centrally and connected via a standard interface. Switching becomes a predictable migration instead of a gamble.
Result:
The retailer strengthens its negotiating position vis-à-vis SaaS providers because switching is possible at any time. Genuine freedom of choice instead of dependency.
