The sovereign cloud: offers more than data privacy
Bring health and patient data into not just a secure, but also a sovereign cloud and retain full control and transparency.
Digital sovereignity in Healthcare
Digital Sovereignty goes beyond data privacy and covers three important facets: Data Sovereignty, Software Sovereignty and Operational Sovereignty.
A sovereign cloud in healthcare offers the ideal solution to ensure the highest data security, transparency, and flexibility. Digital sovereignty means not just data privacy in the traditional sense but encompasses full control over all digital processes. This sovereignty is divided into three essential aspects: Data Sovereignty, Software Sovereignty, and Operational Sovereignty.
Data Sovereignty ensures that health data, such as patient records, diagnoses, and treatment histories, can only be viewed and edited by the data owner. The cloud provider itself has no access to these sensitive data, thus preventing manipulation and unauthorized access.
Software Sovereignty allows health facilities to operate their applications on various IT platforms without being dependent on a specific provider. The use of open-source technologies forms the basis for this and prevents the so-called "vendor lock-in.
Operational Sovereignty provides full transparency about all activities in the cloud. Specifically, this means that health facilities always maintain control over all processes, from data processing to security measures.
The sovereign cloud in healthcare is the key to a secure and flexible IT infrastructure that meets the highest requirements and sustainably improves patient care quality. With the T-Systems Sovereign Cloud, health organizations gain full control over their data and IT infrastructures without relying on a single provider. The data and software sovereignty of the cloud ensures that clinics, medical practices, and health insurance companies operate their applications securely and adapt to changing requirements.
By using open-source technologies, they can easily switch to various IT infrastructures without dependencies arising. This not only increases flexibility but also protects against hidden costs and technological stagnation. Moreover, operational sovereignty ensures that every action in the sovereign cloud remains transparent and can be monitored. This transparency builds trust and makes cloud technology practically usable in the healthcare sector.
The sovereign cloud is the appropriate technology for all players in healthcare who place the highest demands on data security, flexibility, and control. This includes hospitals, medical practices, health insurance companies, and nursing facilities that work daily with highly sensitive data. For the IT departments of hospitals, the sovereign cloud offers the opportunity to operate their software applications flexibly and adapt to new technologies and requirements. Medical practices benefit from secure and efficient data management that not only simplifies everyday work but also reliably meets legal requirements. Health insurance companies can optimize their internal processes thanks to transparent data processing without losing oversight. Nursing facilities gain certainty through the sovereign cloud that all sensitive information of their patients is processed securely and in compliance with legal standards.
T-Systems sovereign Cloud
powered by Google Cloud
The T-Systems Sovereign Cloud powered by Google Cloud is the first sovereign cloud of its kind on the German market. As a joint product of T-Systems and Google Cloud, it meets the requirements of German regulatory authorities while offering the public cloud functions of a hyperscaler.
This scalable cloud solution meets various sovereignty demands. Thus, T-Systems enables all organizations in healthcare, private companies, and the public sector to use a cloud that reliably meets various compliance requirements. This results in new digitalization potential through the sovereign cloud that always covers three important aspects: Data Sovereignty, Software Sovereignty, and Operational Sovereignty. Thanks to continuous monitoring by T-Systems, companies from regulated sectors can also use cloud services in accordance with GDPR and Schrems II.
What is a sovereign cloud?
A sovereign cloud is a cloud infrastructure that guarantees data privacy, data security, and control over data in compliance with local laws and regulations. This is particularly important regarding national or regional data protection requirements as well as industry-specific compliance.
Why is the sovereign cloud important?
The sovereign cloud protects sensitive data, ensures compliance with local regulations (e.g., GDPR), and reduces dependency on specific providers. This technology strengthens digital sovereignty and promotes data security.
Why do we need a sovereign cloud?
Companies and organizations using the sovereign cloud ensure that data is stored and processed locally. This guarantees compliance with privacy policies and control over data flows.
What benefits does the sovereign cloud offer for healthcare?
In healthcare, the sovereign cloud protects sensitive patient data, meets data protection requirements, and allows secure, controlled data processing. With the use of the T-Systems Sovereign Cloud, health organizations ensure the integrity and confidentiality of the sensitive information they handle.
