AWS European Sovereign Cloud (ESC): Digital Sovereignty Made in Europe

Alongside our new partner status, we are especially proud to have been selected as a Launch Partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (ESC).

The ESC will launch at the end of 2025 with its first region in Brandenburg, Germany and is specifically designed to meet the highest requirements for compliance, data sovereignty, and security in Europe.

What makes the ESC unique?

Dedicated EU region: operated by EU residents, fully under EU law
Separate infrastructure: independent from the global AWS backbone
Independent IAM & billing within the EU
Compliance-ready: ISO 27001, SOC 1/2/3 as well as BSI C5 certifications

Relevance for regulated industries

Especially in healthcare, the financial sector, or public administration, questions of data residency and legal control are at the forefront.

The ESC provides the right answer here – cloud innovation with full European sovereignty.

A Thank You to Our Team

This success would not have been possible without the dedication and commitment of our AWS team.

Your effort is the foundation that enables us to provide our customers with state-of-the-art and secure cloud solutions.

Conclusion

With the Advanced Tier Partner Status and our role as a Launch Partner for the European Sovereign Cloud, HWS Gruppe once again underlines its ambition to combine cloud innovation and security at the highest level.

We look forward to supporting our customers in this exciting new chapter.
