Big Tech controls. Legacy systems strain. Both options are unreliable.
Email is not just infrastructure. It’s the backbone of our digital communications.It's also continuity and compliance and trust. The one system you cannot afford to lose control over when the ground shifts.
That's why digital sovereignty matters. Because it’s about who controls the systems that keep you running. It's seven operational realities:
Technical control: Who holds root access and encryption keys?
Physical access: Who can access your data? And, who has the authority to restrict or shut down access?
Dependency control: Can you replace suppliers without breaking operations?
Operational autonomy: Can you function during outages, policy changes or geopolitical disruptions?
Interoperability & exit: Can you leave without catastrophe?
Economic incentives: Are you paying with money or with data?
Governance alignment: Who decides under pressure and whose interests do they serve?
This is what separates continuity from crisis. So, the real question is: Can your current setup pass all seven?
Spar with our email infrastructure experts at CloudFest to stress-test your infrastructure.
It’s your business. Do you have control over the infrastructure and your data?
Most organisations assume they do. Until they try to change something:
Try replacing a provider.
Try migrating without downtime.
Try isolating one mailflow without affecting the rest.
Try moving storage without rebuilding the stack.
That’s when control becomes visible.
Control isn’t about who installed the system. It’s about how flexible it is when you need to act. Because sovereignty is measured when you need options, and options only exist when architecture is designed for them. That’s why we built oneprivacy-first European email platform to rule your mailflow:
Relay routing. Conversational. Transactional. Broadcast (coming soon).
