The offering was first presented in September 2025 and is intended to build on the existing partnerships with Capgemini, Sopra Steria and Mistral AI. SAP Sovereign Cloud is aimed at public authorities and critical infrastructure operators that process sensitive data, including personal data protected by the GDPR (such as health and identity data), state sovereignty data and business-critical operational data.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-ecfa387\" data-block-id=\"ecfa387\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">In the face of increasing demands for security, resilience and data sovereignty, SAP Sovereign Cloud is designed to enable organizations in France to modernize their critical systems while operating within a governance framework that complies with French regulations.

Bleu is an independent French cloud company, founded by Orange and Capgemini, which is seeking SecNumCloud 3.2 security certification from ANSSI for its services. SAP will provide sovereign Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings hosted and operated in France, enabling public authorities and regulated industries to leverage cloud innovation while complying with national regulatory requirements. SAP's approach is designed to meet these requirements as well as the highest standards in terms of security and governance. \u201eThis collaboration with SAP marks a decisive step for the French cloud ecosystem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By hosting SAP solutions on our SecNumCloud-based platform, we are strengthening the available trust offering for public authorities and regulated organizations. Together, we are promoting the development of a robust and secure digital infrastructure, protected from non-European laws with extraterritorial effect and aligned with the strategic requirements of the French state,\u201c says Jean Coumaros, CEO of Bleu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Franco-German cooperation<br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This launch is in line with the French government's \u201eCloud at the Center\u201c strategy, which recommends that organizations transform towards secure and innovative SaaS solutions that meet national requirements. It also reflects a broader Franco-German commitment aimed at strengthening the European model of digital governance. By bringing critical enterprise cloud capabilities under European jurisdiction, SAP and its French technology partners are expanding trusted delivery options for governments and regulated industries.
