Ensure operational sovereignty
Canada’s defence sector needs digital independence. Foreign
legislation can create a risk to Canadian organizations, even when
technology solutions are hosted locally.
SAP Sovereign Cloud ensures data stays in Canada and is only
accessed by Canadians with security credentials, operating from
Canadian-dedicated facilities.
SAP’s approach can reduce your exposure to foreign legislation –
enabling greater digital sovereignty and control. This provides
a vital foundation for a country with a robust economy, attractive
to outside investment while remaining secure against threats.
Align with the national digital vision
The national defence sector needs cloud platforms that align
with national rules and values – ensuring privacy, security, and
autonomy. For instance, Canada’s Digital Charter has a key focus
on data privacy, so vital to citizen trust.
SAP Sovereign Cloud enables compliance with the Canadian
Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) Medium Cloud Security Profile
and the Protected B High Value Asset (PBHVA) overlay, along
with personal data privacy laws including PIPEDA, GDPR,
and Quebec Law 25.
Build a resilient foundation for AI innovation
To lead in AI, Canada needs infrastructure that safeguards data
sovereignty and enables future innovation. After all, trusted
innovation is a key pillar of Canada’s AI and Cyber Security
Strategies. SAP enables Canadian defence organizations to train,
deploy, and govern AI models securely, without foreign exposure
or compromise. Innovation happens faster when cloud is
intrinsically sovereign.
SAP Sovereign Cloud enables high-impact innovation while
maintaining full visibility, auditability, and in-region data control.
Our functional innovations flow seamlessly to Sovereign Cloud,
meaning you always have access to the latest capabilities.
And our dedicated local team ensures the service adapts to
the ever-changing security and compliance requirements.
