Discussions around data sovereignty have taken centre stage in the EU in recent years.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is launching its ‘Sovereign Secure Cloud’ offering in Europe, as the region tries to tighten its reigns on data and privacy.
TCS’ new launch is designed specifically for governments, public sector enterprises and regulated industries, the company said. It combines sovereign cloud architecture with AI capabilities to enable sovereignty across data, operations and digital infrastructure.
The new offerings are expected to help European organisations be digitally autonomous and enhance security. Sovereign Secure Cloud is launching in Europe today (26 May), following successful rollouts in India in 2025, as well as Kenya, East Africa and the Philippines.
According to the company, which operates a global delivery centre in Letterkenny, Co Donegal, the new offering comprises of national sovereign cloud layers, that enable country-specific localisation while bringing operations under a unified control plane.
“European organisations are looking to strike a balance between addressing supply chain and sovereignty risks while ensuring leverage of frontier technologies to be globally competitive,” said Sapthagiri Chapalapalli, TCS’ head of Europe.
Data sovereignty has taken centre stage in the EU in recent years after growing geopolitical tensions stemming from the US, as well as Big Tech corporations, who are increasingly found to be non-compliant with the bloc’s laws.
Last year, France and Germany announced a joint taskforce on digital sovereignty, aiming for a more competitive and sovereign Europe.
TCS, meanwhile, is also introducing the a new framework in the EU to help organisations become a “minimum viable sovereign enterprise” by helping find a balance between control and flexibility.
TCS generated more than $30bn in revenue during its 2025 fiscal year. The company operates 58 offices across Europe. Last year, it announced plans to cut 12,000 jobs over the course of the year.
Earlier this year, the company took on OpenAI as its first customer in its data centre business Hypervault, with an initial commitment of 100MW of AI capacity.
