French digital sovereignty and cloud security trends

Overview

French cloud providers Numspot and OVHcloud have obtained the SecNumCloud qualification, the highest security accreditation from the Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information (ANSSI). Numspot secured the qualification for its Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to support sensitive data and artificial intelligence, while OVHcloud expanded its accreditation to include the SNC Cloud Platform.

This development coincides with a broader strategic shift among French companies and public sector organizations toward prioritizing digital sovereignty. Organizations are seeking to mitigate risks associated with foreign platform dependency and cyberattacks by maintaining control over industrial secrets and critical applications.

As the demand for sovereignty grows, distinctions are being made between standard cloud services and the rigorous protections of SecNumCloud. Some providers, such as Bubble Plan, are responding to these needs by hosting client data on secure, France-based servers to ensure data remains under local legal jurisdiction.
