Summary

As digital transformation progresses across Europe, data sovereignty has emerged as a critical concern for various EU organizations, including public sector entities, financial institutions, and telecom providers. These organizations are increasingly focused on maintaining control over their data to comply with regional regulations such as GDPR and to address geopolitical and economic risks. Dynatrace, a company offering observability solutions, supports these sovereignty requirements by enabling EU hosting, aligning with international security standards, and providing compliance and governance capabilities. Their platform ensures data visibility and system behavior monitoring through features like PurePath® and Smartscape®, with plans to enhance sovereignty support through tools like Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) and Sensitive Data Scanner. These enhancements are designed to give customers greater control over encryption keys and protect sensitive data, aligning with internal data protection policies and regulatory demands. Dynatrace also offers on-premises solutions for sectors with heightened privacy needs, emphasizing the importance of data governance beyond mere data residency.
