AWS Sovereignty Analysis

AWS Sovereignty Analysis is a structured 2-day assessment of your AWS environment's sovereignty posture, identifying relevant regulatory context and data-residency risks from an architectural perspective. Delivered by Storm Reply, an AWS Premier Tier Partner and part of the Reply Group.

What we analyze

• Stakeholder interviews and architecture walkthrough mapping your current sovereignty posture across regions, accounts and workloads
• Preliminary regulatory context mapping (GDPR, NIS2, DORA) with sector specifics for FSI, Healthcare, Manufacturing and Public Sector
• Technical review of region enforcement, data-residency configuration, cross-region data flows and AWS KMS encryption strategy
• IAM structure and privileged-access governance assessment to find gaps in access controls and audit readiness
• Evaluation using the AWS Well-Architected Framework, AWS Trusted Advisor and the AWS Sovereign Reference Framework (ESC-SRF)

Deliverable A concise executive summary (8–12 page slide deck) with key findings, an initial Sovereignty Maturity Score, and prioritized next steps.

Benefits

• Benchmark: an initial Sovereignty Maturity Score against sovereignty best practices and architectural patterns
• Audit-ahead: identify the majority of critical data-residency and access-governance gaps before audits or regulatory reviews
• Actionable, not generic: recommendations that translate regulatory context into concrete AWS architecture and control considerations
• Early risk reduction: catch architectural sovereignty gaps early in design and operation
• Foundation for more: a clear basis for a comprehensive follow-up sovereignty assessment, avoiding ad-hoc remediation
