A survey conducted by Civo among UK IT leaders reveals significant concerns regarding the influence of US cloud providers, with over 60% advocating for reduced governmental reliance on these services. Key issues include data security risks, threats to the domestic cloud industry, and a renewed focus on data sovereignty. Nearly half of the respondents consider repatriating workloads due to data protection worries. Transparency and compliance with data regulations have become critical, reflecting a shift in perspective towards US tech firms following recent political tensions.
These results will be no surprise to anyone with their ear to the ground in the industry. People are more alert than ever to just how valuable their data is, and it's been astonishing how quickly cloud repatriation and sovereignty have become leading strategic considerations for IT leaders.
The market is crying out for greater visibility over where data is stored, used, and transferred, and at present, US providers are failing to meet that demand.
