Navigating data sovereignty challenges in cloud migration: strategies and insights
Data sovereignty compliance is becoming both more important and more difficult. Learn how Atos and AWS empower enterprises to strengthen security measures, reduce risks, and protect vital assets.
The data sovereignty challenge
For the typical large enterprise today, data has become your most important asset, informing customer behavior, finances, the state of supply chain, and much more. Unsurprisingly, the data landscape is rapidly evolving, as established digital players and start-ups promise to help you extract more value from your data using creative ways of managing and analyzing, as well as training and developing new AI models.
The result is that more and more data – including highly sensitive data – is moving onto the cloud. However, any organization that collects or manipulates data will be aware of the complexity of data compliance, with different regulations in force in different jurisdictions and industries (for example FedRAMP vs. HIPAA). It’s an obligation to maintain the sovereignty of your data, no matter how it is collected, used, and shared – and non-compliance can result in reputational damage, hefty fines, and crippling restrictions on the use of data, while also endangering relationships with customers and partners. In summary, digital sovereignty encompasses data residency, operator access restriction, and operational autonomy to ensure control over the location, encryption, access, and resiliency of customer solutions deployed on AWS cloud.
No wonder that, according to IDC, 88% of large organizations operating in EMEA consider data sovereignty to be “very” or “extremely” important1.
However, understanding where data resides and ensuring compliance with local regulations has become a major challenge.
CloudCatalyst: systematizing cloud-based data sovereignty
Atos CloudCatalyst, the result of a strategic collaboration between Atos and Amazon Web Services (AWS), is a comprehensive and data-compliant solution to cloud migration.
Atos’ relationship with AWS is based on years of successful cloud migrations for major customers across consumer goods, ecommerce, technology, banking and government. By leveraging Atos' enormous managed data security experience and AWS's robust, hyper-scalable infrastructure and cloud-native compliance services, we build data sovereignty into the fabric of your cloud-based infrastructure from Day One.
Atos has been an AWS GSI Advanced Consulting Partner since 2013, holds the Migration Delivery Competency, and our AWS certified experts have over 1,000 certifications. By leveraging AWS’s comprehensive spectrum of security, compliance, and governance tools and services, CloudCatalyst empowers organizations to tailor their security measures according to their unique requirements.
With support for 143 security standards and compliance certifications – including ISO 9001-27018, SOC1-3, C5, CISPE, PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, FedRAMP, GDPR, FIPS 140-2, and NIST800-171 – CloudCatalyst enables your organization to meet the compliance requirements of virtually any regulatory agency around the globe.
Reducing human error
For IT workers tasked with managing a single infrastructure, compliance is a steep learning curve and protocols are often applied piecemeal. With Atos CloudCatalyst, on the other hand, compliance is foundational and systematic. Implementing infrastructure as code enables automated deployments that significantly reduce the risk of human error. By incorporating security into automated templates, organizations can ensure the secure deployment of resources consistently.
Configuration rules play a pivotal role in enforcing security requirements. Organizations can set configuration rules to flag and quarantine unencrypted volumes or detect unauthorized open ports to comply with standards such as HIPAA. And AWS's CloudTrail helps users detect configuration changes and take necessary countermeasures.
Proactive security
With Atos, you have access to experts who can modernize and integrate even the most complex ecosystems with AWS’s comprehensive suite of leading security tools. Combined with powerful automation and configuration enforcement, you can be assured of robust, proactive security measures, safeguarding your data and enabling you to respond effectively to potential threats and vulnerabilities, in full compliance with data sovereignty regulations.
No matter how much preparation goes into your migration, data sovereignty will always be a moving target. That’s why our DevOps team continually monitors live issues and manages updates on your behalf – accomplished in real-time and with no downtime.
Data location control
This feature enables customers to choose deployments into any region around the world including dedicated local zones with customer-specified locations or data centers to meet regulatory requirements. AWS Data resiliency capabilities are further boosted by AWS Outposts, AWS Wavelength, and AWS Snow Family, enabling computing and storage on premises and remote (or disconnected) locations.
Conclusion
As organizations and large enterprises continue their cloud transformation journey, data sovereignty remains an ever-pressing concern. CloudCatalyst makes data sovereignty foundational to cloud-based infrastructure with an integrated and efficient solution that navigates these challenges with confidence. By embracing the power of cloud computing and leveraging Atos’ unique experience in implementing AWS's extensive suite of security tools, organizations can simplify security measures and ensure seamless compliance with data sovereignty regulations.
Ultimately, CloudCatalyst paves the way for a secure and seamless cloud migration journey, enabling organizations to thrive in an interconnected world. With its core commitment to data sovereignty and security, CloudCatalyst sets a new standard for the future of cloud migration.
