Online tool for assessing the digital sovereignty of companies
With the Red Hat Digital Sovereignty Readiness Assessment Tool, Red Hat has provided an online tool that helps companies to assess and improve their digital sovereignty.
The provider of open source software solutions Red Hat has published a Sovereignty Readiness Assessment Tool. Based on a questionnaire, it provides clear information on how much control companies have over their digital assets. This is not only about control over data and software, but also about the ability to maintain and restore all systems without external help, to independently audit and validate their integrity, to avoid vendor lock-ins with community-driven approaches and to provide cloud environments flexibly in specific regions and data centers. In addition, the extent to which digital sovereignty is anchored in the corporate strategy is evaluated.
Once the analysis is complete, the tool determines a maturity level that classifies the capabilities of companies within four levels. The levels classify whether companies are still in the process of identifying their requirements in terms of digital sovereignty, have already taken the first steps, are already very well positioned in most areas or have comprehensive, proactive control over their entire digital infrastructure. The tool then creates a roadmap with sensible steps to improve digital sovereignty and critical questions that those responsible in companies should ask themselves.
With the Red Hat Sovereignty Readiness Assessment Tool, Red Hat is responding to the fact that many companies need to strengthen their resilience and independence due to regulatory requirements and must not relinquish sovereignty over data. However, they often face challenges such as opaque software stacks, limited options and fragmented data silos. The tool helps them to understand their IT environment, determine the status quo and initiate improvements. It has been published by Red Hat as open source so that it is clear how the calculations are performed and companies can check everything - and adapt or expand it if necessary.
