European Sovereign Cloud: Enabling Compliant AI-Powered DevSecOps


Date: April 16, 2026
Time: 11:00 am BST

European organisations are caught between accelerating cloud adoption and tightening sovereignty regulations. From GDPR and NIS2 to the EU AI Act, compliance demands are rising — while US laws like the CLOUD Act and FISA Section 702 introduce legal exposure that technical controls alone can’t solve.

This is forcing a rethink of cloud strategy.

In this webcast, GitLab Solutions Architects Breno Gomes and Nicolas Bosc unpack the European Sovereign Cloud landscape — including SecNumCloud, BSI C5:2025, ENS, and the EU’s emerging SEAL assurance model — and show how GitLab Self-Managed enables AI-powered DevSecOps in fully compliant sovereign environments.

In this webcast, you'll learn...

  • Why data residency alone isn’t enough and where jurisdictional risk actually comes from
  • The three sovereign cloud models (logical boundary, gatekeeper, and air-gapped) and when to use each
  • What SecNumCloud, BSI C5:2025, and ENS Alta require and how to meet all three
  • How to use the EU’s 8-axis Sovereignty Radar to evaluate providers
  • How to enable AI-assisted development without breaking compliance
