Why this matters for digital sovereignty
Storage and backup services typically hold a copy of all business-critical files, so the storage location and key management directly determine confidentiality under GDPR. Check whether backups remain within the EU, who manages the encryption keys, and how fully the data can be retrieved when switching providers.
