BT Launches Sovereign Platform For UK Cloud And AI Control

BT has launched a new UK-based sovereign platform designed to give organisations tighter control over their data, systems, and AI infrastructure at a time of rising geopolitical tensions and growing public sector reliance on cloud services.

A New Foundation For Sovereign Services

Sovereign services are digital services run entirely within UK infrastructure and UK legal control, with access restricted to UK-based staff where required. BT’s announcement marks a significant shift in how it intends to support organisations that need clear assurances over where their data is stored, who can access it, and which legal frameworks govern it.
