Digital Sovereignty Checklist

Before you choose a data room platform, make sure it meets your standards for digital sovereignty. This checklist helps dealmakers assess whether a provider truly keeps data, infrastructure and technology under European control — including ownership, data storage, AI usage, security controls and how the platform would respond to foreign authority requests. Sensitive deal information can be affected by extraterritorial laws such as the US CLOUD Act, so this checklist gives you a practical way to reduce risk and make a more informed decision.
