Digital Sovereignty

Governing what matters

Control as a strategic capability

Cloud, data and artificial intelligence are becoming ever more deeply embedded in the processes through which organisations operate, make decisions and create value.

As digital ecosystems evolve, so does the need to govern the dependencies they create. Data location is one component of control, and jurisdiction, access, identity, infrastructure, software, models, skills and the ability to replace or modify the technologies in use carry equal weight.

Digital Sovereignty is about this capacity to govern: preserving decision-making autonomy, resilience and the freedom to evolve across truly strategic assets, while continuing to access innovation.

Expertise built in the field

DGS brings together consulting and technology capabilities developed through complex transformation programmes, including in sectors where security, continuity and control are operational requirements.

DGS Digital Sovereignty Enabler

From context to the right level of control
DGS analyses data, processes, systems, workloads and dependencies to identify where control is strategic, which constraints need to be governed and what level of sovereignty meets the organisation's real needs. From this assessment comes a pathway that combines architectural choices, governance, security, compliance and operational capabilities, balancing control, sustainability and access to innovation. DGS delivers this pathway through four interconnected areas of expertise, orchestrated within a single model.

Advisory

Defining the scope and the pathway

Strategy, governance, risk assessment and roadmapping turn control needs, requirements and business priorities into an actionable programme.
DGS classifies data, processes, systems and dependencies, determines the level of assurance required and defines the responsibilities, priorities and metrics that guide its adoption.

  • Scope

  • Governance

  • Risk Compliance Adoption

Data & AI Sense | Physical AI

Governing data, models and actions

AI sovereignty concerns the entire system that turns data and models into decisions and actions.
DGS brings together Data Governance, AI Engineering, model and agent orchestration, security and operational capabilities across different architectures, from governed cloud and dedicated environments to on-prem AI, edge computing and local inference, depending on the use case and the level of control required.
In agentic systems and Physical AI, oversight extends to identity, permissions, the tools agents are allowed to use, supervision and the traceability of their actions.

Open Source

Building an open, governable stack

Open Source, open standards and interoperability increase transparency, portability and the freedom to evolve.

DGS integrates these technologies within a model that encompasses governance, security, maintenance, skills and enterprise support, so that technological openness becomes a concrete capacity for control rather than a new form of dependency.

Open Source

Cybersecurity

Making control continuous and verifiable

Digital sovereignty must remain enforceable even as the ecosystem evolves or comes under pressure.

DGS protects data, identities, infrastructure, applications and AI systems through risk governance, access control, continuous monitoring, supply chain 
security, AI Security and incident response capabilities.

Cybersecurity makes dependencies visible, controls verifiable and the defined level of sovereignty resilient.

Charting the course towards a sovereign digital future

A transparent, unconstrained Digital Sovereignty, where code sharing and vendor independence become the foundations for protecting, enhancing and evolving a company's assets

RIOS

Rete Italiana Open Source

The strength of Open Source combined with Enterprise-grade security: DGS is a co-founder of RIOS, Italy's first network of excellence created to lead the digital transformation of businesses through open source technologies that are scalable and fully supported.
Through RIOS, DGS is also a member of APELL, the European Association for Professional Open Source, connecting the strength of the Italian supply chain with the strategic and regulatory landscape of the European institutions.

From strategy to operational capability

Digital Sovereignty becomes sustainable when it is embedded in the processes through which an organisation selects technologies, governs risk, assigns responsibilities and develops its own skills

Scope

We map data, processes, systems, workloads and suppliers according to criticality, risk and dependency.

Governance

We build responsibilities, operating models, metrics and decision-making mechanisms aligned with the level of control required.

Compliance

We translate the regulatory framework and internal requirements into controls, processes, responsibilities and evidence embedded in day-to-day operations.

Adoption

Skills, processes and culture enable the organisation to govern the choices it has made, even as technologies, risks and requirements evolve.
