The challenge
Datalocation ≠ data sovereignty
Blastic is a Dutch digital agency that helps organizations build a sovereign martech stack using exclusively European vendors. Digital sovereignty means full legal control over your data — not just choosing where servers are located, but under whose legislation your data falls.
CLOUD Act & FISA 702
American legislation gives the US the right to request data from any US-controlled provider — regardless of where that data is physically stored. Without the knowledge of you or a European regulator.
Geopolitical uncertainty
The political climate in the US has become unpredictable. Adequacy decisions can be revoked, trade relations can shift. Your digital infrastructure should not depend on that.
Tightened EU legislation
NIS2, the EU Data Act, e-Evidence, and the EU AI Act impose increasingly stricter requirements on where data is stored, who has access to it, and how you can demonstrate that. Compliance is becoming a strategic necessity.
The hidden dependencies
It's not just about your CMS or CRM. Think about analytics, email marketing, personalization, hosting, backups, and CDNs. American touchpoints can be lurking everywhere in your stack.
Our vision
Don't buy sovereignty from Big Tech. Get sovereignty from a European partner.
AWS has a European Sovereign Cloud. Google offers Sovereign Controls. Microsoft has an EU Data Boundary. Sounds reassuring — but the parent company is still American. The CLOUD Act still applies. It's sovereignty as marketing, not as reality.
Sovereignty as a Service (SoaaS) by Blastic is the opposite. We assemble a composable DXP from genuinely European vendors. No American parent companies. No backdoor. And we don't stop after implementation — we manage and monitor your stack continuously.
The Dutch coalition agreement of 2026 makes digital autonomy a guiding principle. Companies that act now are leading the way. There are now powerful European vendors that are functionally on par. Blastic knows them, implements them, and ensures everything works together seamlessly.
That is the essence of SoaaS: sovereignty is not a project that ends. It is a guarantee that lasts.
Sovereignty as a Service flips the narrative: sovereignty delivered by the parties that make it a reality, not by the parties you want to become independent from.
The SoaaS model
Build. Run. Guard.
Sovereignty as a Service has three pillars.
SoaaS is not a one-time migration project. It is an ongoing service with three pillars that guarantee your sovereignty — today and tomorrow.
01 Build
We start with a free Sovereignty Scan: your risk profile, your Sovereignty Score, and a SoaaS Blueprint. Then we assemble a composable DXP from European vendors that match your functional requirements, team, and growth strategy. Open standards, no vendor lock-in.
02 Run
We manage your sovereign stack operationally. Hosting on Dutch or European infrastructure, updates, monitoring, security patches, and performance optimization. You focus on marketing — we focus on the technology underneath.
03 Guard
We safeguard your sovereignty continuously. Vendor changes, acquisitions, jurisdiction shifts — we monitor it and act proactively. If a vendor no longer upholds its sovereignty guarantees, we guide the switch. That is the "as a Service" core.
European martech.
World-class level.
We collaborate with a select network of European vendors that deliver proven technology with full data sovereignty. No compromises on quality.

For which sectors is digital sovereignty urgent?
Digital sovereignty is important for every organization in every sector that wants full legal and technical control over their martech stack. It is urgent for:
Government & public sector
The 2026 coalition agreement makes digital autonomy a guiding principle. NIS2 sets strict requirements. Your digital infrastructure needs to be ready for that.
Healthcare organizations
Patient data is the most sensitive there is. One American touchpoint in your stack and your compliance story crumbles.
Financial services
DORA, NIS2, and sector regulators demand demonstrable control over data and the supply chain. Sovereignty is not a luxury, but a requirement.
Education & knowledge institutions
Student and research data deserve the highest protection. There are EU alternatives for your digital learning environment.
Frequently asked questions
What is digital sovereignty in the context of martech?
Digital sovereignty in martech means that you have full legal and technical control over your marketing technology stack. It's not just about where your data is stored (data location), but also about which legislation applies to it (jurisdiction). If your CMS, analytics, or marketing automation runs on an American provider, your data falls under the US CLOUD Act — even if the servers are located in Europe.
A sovereign martech stack consists of tools that fall entirely under European jurisdiction.
Why is the CLOUD Act a risk for my marketing stack?
The CLOUD Act (2018) gives the US the right to request data from any American-controlled provider, regardless of where that data is physically stored. FISA Section 702 goes even further and enables bulk surveillance of non-American individuals.
This applies to all major US cloud providers and SaaS platforms — including the tools in your martech stack. In practice: if your CMS runs on an American vendor, the US can request your content and customer data without you or a European regulator being notified.
Can I make my existing martech stack sovereign without replacing everything?
Yes. Blastic takes a phased approach. We start with a Sovereignty Scan to map out your risk profile. Then we design a composable architecture with European vendors and migrate step by step, starting with the most critical components.
You don't have to replace everything at once — and you don't sacrifice any functionality.
What European CMS alternatives are there for WordPress or Contentful?
There are an increasing number of powerful European CMS platforms. Plate CMS is a Dutch CMS that recently migrated to fully Dutch hosting at Info Support. Prepr is an Amsterdam-based headless CMS with built-in personalization and A/B testing.
In addition, Umbraco (Denmark) and Kentico (Czech Republic) are strong European DXP platforms that Blastic implements as a partner.
What does a Sovereignty Scan cost?
The Sovereignty Scan is a no-obligation 45-minute conversation in which Blastic maps out the critical dependencies in your current martech stack. There are no costs involved.
You receive a clear overview of your risk profile and concrete recommendations for a sovereign martech stack.
Is digital sovereignty only relevant for the public sector?
No. Although the government is leading the way with the 2026 coalition agreement in which digital autonomy becomes a guiding principle, the topic is broadly relevant. Organizations in healthcare, financial services (DORA, NIS2), education, and B2B companies with sensitive customer or IP data all benefit from a sovereign martech stack.
Get in touch and we'll discuss what this means for your organization.
