SAP Session

As organisations accelerate their move to cloud ERP, those operating in regulated industries and the public sector face unique challenges around data sovereignty, regulatory compliance and national security requirements. This session provides a comprehensive overview of SAP Sovereign Cloud, a portfolio of security-hardened cloud solutions specifically designed to adhere to national security and secrecy requirements, including government accreditation, attestation, and certification programmes.

The session will examine how SAP Sovereign Cloud addresses the needs of organisations that must comply with extensive security levels for their cloud workloads, as mandated by local jurisdiction laws on data privacy, access and control. Attendees will learn about SAP's Commercial Regulated Environment offerings, which provide dedicated information security boundaries for commercial customers in regulated industries, including specific provisions for the United Kingdom market.

The presentation will also cover how RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Private Edition operates within the SAP Sovereign Cloud framework, with its enhanced security design and requirements that go beyond standard SAP Enterprise Cloud Services. Real-world deployment considerations, compliance frameworks and the role of organisations such as the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) in shaping sovereign cloud requirements will also be discussed.
