Regulations such as DORA and the EU AI Act—combined with heightened geopolitical uncertainty and growing dependence on cloud and third party providers—are reshaping what EU regulated leaders are accountable for. Sovereignty is no longer about isolation or geography alone; it is about maintaining meaningful control, producing auditable evidence, and ensuring resilience across cloud and AI enabled services.

In this 30 minute executive briefing, Kyndryl and Microsoft examine three tests EU regulated leaders can’t ignore:

• Can critical services—including AI enabled ones—continue or recover quickly during disruption?
• Can organizations produce clear, auditable evidence for boards and regulators without delay?
• Can leaders retain meaningful control over data, access, and operations as adoption accelerates?

Grounded in current regulatory expectations and real world operating constraints, this session reframes sovereignty as a practical component of broader technology risk and resilience strategies—helping leaders balance compliance, innovation, and operational reality in 2026 and beyond.
