Forrester: Minimum Viable Sovereignty: From Theory To Practice

As regulatory pressure, data residency requirements, and geopolitical uncertainty reshape how enterprises think about technology dependencies, Forrester's latest research introduces a pragmatic framework: minimum viable sovereignty (MVS). Rather than pursuing costly, all-or-nothing approaches to digital independence, MVS helps organizations identify the right level of sovereignty for their specific risk appetite, industry, and regulatory context – across infrastructure, software, data, networks, people, and AI.

- The ability to customize AI systems with guardrails and controls.

- A commitment to open-source frameworks for transparency.

- Deployment flexibility that lets organizations run AI in the cloud or on-premises depending on their needs.
