delaware receives AWS Digital Sovereignty Competency recognition

Dec 09, 2025

delaware is proud to announce that we have achieved the AWS Digital Sovereignty Competency, a designation that recognizes AWS Partners with proven expertise in advising and architecting for customers’ most demanding digital sovereignty requirements. This competency highlights delaware’s ability to leverage AWS services, controls, and best practices to support organizations seeking greater control over their data, infrastructure, and cloud operations.

The growing importance of digital sovereignty

Digital sovereignty has become a top priority for governments, regulators, and enterprises around the world. The concept revolves around several key principles that ensure trust, autonomy, and transparency in the cloud. By working closely with clients, partners, and industry organizations, AWS has distilled these principles into four core pillars:

  • Data Residency & Security: Ensuring customers always know where their data is stored, processed, and transferred while maintaining full control over its lifecycle.
  • Operator Access Restriction: Guaranteeing that neither AWS nor any unauthorized party can access customer data, thanks to robust technical controls and governance mechanisms.
  • Resiliency & Survivability: Enabling businesses and public institutions to maintain operations even in the face of disruption, geopolitical challenges, or other emergencies.
  • Independence & Transparency: Supporting customers with clear governance, operational clarity, and the flexibility to work with local technology vendors to meet regional requirements.
In a world where trust and autonomy define the future of the cloud, our AWS Digital Sovereignty Competency marks a powerful milestone in guiding organizations toward secure, resilient, and sovereign digital innovation

This competency also aligns seamlessly with delaware’s role as a Launch Partner for the upcoming AWS European Sovereign Cloud, which AWS will introduce to help European organizations address strict sovereignty, regulatory, and compliance expectations. The AWS European Sovereign Cloud will have local European leadership, independent governance, and a dedicated Security Operations Center, which ensures the highest standards of trust and operational autonomy for clients across the region. 

Achieving the AWS Digital Sovereignty Competency reinforces delaware’s commitment to guiding organizations through increasingly complex digital landscapes. It acknowledges our deep expertise in cloud strategy, regulatory compliance, and secure architecture design, empowering our clients to innovate confidently while maintaining sovereignty over their digital assets. 

As global expectations evolve, delaware continues to help clients navigate the intersection of technology, trust, and regulation always building on AWS’s ongoing innovation in the digital sovereignty space and bringing the assurance of a partner officially recognized for excellence in sovereign cloud design and compliance.
