Show sovereign control
before CADA requires it

On 3 June 2026, the European Commission proposed the Cloud and AI Development Act as part of its Technological Sovereignty Package.

CADA grades cloud and AI services across four levels of sovereignty and steers sensitive workloads towards providers that keep data under European control.

You're expected to see everything with only a few hands

Monitoring, investigating, responding often without 24/7 staff or a dedicated security personnel.
The pressure keeps rising

More threats. More regulations. More expectations from leadership. For small teams, this isn’t a sprint, it’s a never-ending marathon.
Europe adds another layer of responsibility: sovereignty

Where data lives. Who controls it. How it is governed. In Europe, these are mandates, not preferences.

CADA asks for more than product specifications

 The detail that matters for security operations is the sovereignty grading and how it steers procurement. Here is what the Commission's text proposes, and how that will impact regulated organisations, critical infrastructure, and the MSSPs who serve them across Europe.

Article 29 · Four levels of sovereign assurance

CADA grades services from Level 1 up to Level 4. All public-sector cloud procurement maps to one of these levels.

Article 37 · Sovereignty steers procurement

Public bodies running sensitive activities like energy, national security, and others procure only at higher assurance levels.

CADA encourages open source

But open-source tools leave you to build the audit evidence, detection content, and repeatable processes yourself.

The capacity gap remains

The organisations CADA touches most, like municipalities and regional MSSPs, are rarely the ones who can staff a sovereign open-source security stack.

The evidence is yours. The jurisdiction should be too.

A reassuring contract clause is not the same as technology deployed in a sovereign jurisdiction. CADA asks you to show that control sits in trusted hands, without cloud dependency risk.

Guardsix is EU-HQ, EU-governed, and on-prem by default, supporting Europe's lean defenders on your own soil.

sovereignty under CADA 1

Your data lives where you say, under European law

Guardsix is EU-headquartered and EU-governed. Self-hosted, air-gappable, on-prem by default. Your security data, audit trails and access logs sit under EU law alone — no CLOUD Act or FISA exposure, whatever a contract clause promises. The structural facts the higher assurance levels describe are how Guardsix is already built.

Proof of control, on demand

CADA readiness demands evidence. When the record lives in systems you operate, you can produce a continuous account of who accessed what data, when, under what authorisation, and within which jurisdiction — the day the auditor walks in, not weeks later. When it sits in a vendor-operated cloud, you are waiting on someone else to hand you your own proof.

A sovereignty grade that maps to the levels that matter

The highest assurance levels stipulate EU establishment, EU-resident operations, data that never leaves the Union, and independence from foreign law.

Guardsix meets those conditions by design — so the workloads CADA steers towards the higher levels have a home that already qualifies, because the entire system was made for it.

Control you can afford to keep

A sovereign choice is only sovereign if you can afford to keep it. Node-based pricing means spend scales with the infrastructure you run, not the data you generate — no ingestion surprises, no year-two reset that makes staying as expensive as moving.

An active on-prem roadmap means the choice you make today is one we keep investing in, not a legacy option quietly wound down.

A readymade platform, no building required

CADA recommends open source, but implementing a DIY stack means building audit-ready evidence, repeatable cross-environment processes, and sovereign operations yourself. These are significant, continuous engineering costs that take time to yield results.

Guardsix gives you the sovereign control open source promises, plus the operated, supported maturity CADA actually asks for.

Built for the teams who carry the responsibility

The MSSPs and lean security teams best placed for CADA are not the ones with the largest stacks. They are the ones who hold sovereign control, run repeatable processes, and keep outcomes consistent — whichever analyst is on, whichever environment is affected. Guardsix is built to run that way: predictable to operate, predictable to budget, predictable under audit.
