European cloud sovereignty – the CISPE perspective


In this session, Francisco Mingorance (Secretary General, CISPE) presents CISPE's work on defining and certifying cloud sovereignty. CISPE takes a binary stance on the question — a cloud service is either sovereign or it is not — and has developed concrete tools to put that definition into practice: the CISPE Cloud Services Catalogue with Gaia-X Level 1–3 labels, and the Sovereign & Resilient Cloud Services Framework.

Francisco will also outline CISPE's vision for a composable, distributed European cloud ecosystem built on open frameworks.

Relevance for EBU Members

This webinar connects directly to the EBU Cloud Strategy (EBU TR 099). It includes time for discussion on how CISPE's tools and definitions could inform the EBU sovereignty decision matrix and Members' own vendor evaluations.

Background

The EBU Cloud Strategy Group is organising a series of webinars to help Members explore cloud technologies and related developments. The Cloud Workflows series covers cloud-based tools relevant to European public service media, while Cloud Provider Dialogues focus on infrastructure providers.
