Digital Sovereignty: The IAM Risk Nobody Budgets For
- How EU regulatory pressure is turning digital sovereignty from a policy question into a risk decision that procurement has to enforce
- See what recent platform outages and IAM vendor consolidation reveal about how deep vendor dependency really runs
- Recent platform outages and ongoing vendor consolidation in the IAM market have shown how deep those dependencies run for the companies relying on them.
Digital sovereignty has moved from a policy discussion to a procurement criterion. The EU's Cloud Sovereignty Framework, alongside the Data Act and Cybersecurity Act, is pushing organizations to demonstrate control over where their data lives and who can access it.Recent platform outages and ongoing vendor consolidation in the IAM market show how deep these dependencies run for the companies relying on them
For identity teams, this raises a question that is easy to defer and expensive to ignore: how much sovereignty risk is already built into your IAM, CIAM, or PAM stack, and what would it cost you if that provider went dark tomorrow?
In this discussion, Reiner Mertens, Lead Advisor at KuppingerCole, and Christopher Schütze, Chief of Advisory & CISO at KuppingerCole, will unpack what digital sovereignty actually means for identity infrastructure and how the EU's regulatory framework is reshaping vendor and architecture decisions. Drawing on advisory experience across IAM, CIAM, and PAM engagements, they will share what to weigh when evaluating identity solutions through a sovereignty lens, and how to reduce dependency risk without slowing down IAM modernization.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is designed for CISOs, IAM and identity architects, procurement and vendor risk teams, and IT decision-makers responsible for evaluating IAM, CIAM, or PAM solutions under EU regulatory pressure.
