Falk Stern
Data sovereignty refers to an organization's ability to maintain control over its data with regard to storage, processing, access, and sharing. The use of open-source software can make a significant contribution to this objective, as its source code is openly available and can be independently reviewed, customized, and operated without dependence on a single vendor. This promotes transparency, security, and greater independence from proprietary software providers. Particularly in sensitive sectors, open-source solutions can help organizations strengthen data ownership and better meet compliance and regulatory requirements.
