This IDC Perspective presents a practical, risk-based framework to help EMEA organizations evaluate and mitigate digital sovereignty risks in back-office SaaS applications such as ERP, finance, and HR systems. It introduces a four-layer model (covering Jurisdiction, Operations, Architecture, and Dependencies) that translates IDC's broader sovereignty stack into actionable buyer guidance, enabling proportionate risk assessment without excluding global SaaS providers."Digital sovereignty is not about isolation. It is about business resilience - that is, ensuring control, predictability, and trust in your most critical SaaS systems," said Bo Lykkegaard, associate VP, European Software Research at IDC.
