UK&I Digital Sovereignty
A Practical Framework for UK Autonomy and Resilience
For Atos in the UK, sovereignty means having control over your end-to-end technology domain without compromising performance or security. We understand that sovereignty is not a one-size-fits-all solution-it must be tailored, resilient, and future-ready. It needs to allow you to adapt to evolving regulations, geopolitical pressures, and unique operational needs.
