GetSovereignSovereign Cloud for Defence
Defence is sovereignty taken to its limit: classified workloads, nationally cleared personnel, air-gapped environments and supply-chain security. Few providers qualify; those that do are the most sovereignty-complete in the directory.
Defence requirements
- Personnel sovereignty: administration and support by nationally cleared personnel only.
- Air-gapped deployment: physically and logically isolated environments for the highest classifications.
- Supply-chain security: visibility into component and software provenance; often local-content rules.
- Legal sovereignty: immunity from foreign legal process over the infrastructure.
- Resilience: continuity under conflict conditions, including disconnected operation.
