Zscaler and Schwarz Digits team up to offer a sovereign cloud security platform aimed at European customers
Executive summary: Zscaler and Schwarz Digits announced a strategic partnership to deliver a sovereign cloud security platform for Europe. The platform is intended to meet European data‑sovereignty requirements and combines zero‑trust security with Schwarz Digits’ IT infrastructure, potentially influencing cloud‑security adoption in the region.
Who is involved: Zscaler (cybersecurity provider), Schwarz Digits (IT/digital division of Schwarz Group), and European enterprises seeking compliant cloud solutions.
Likely next: The partners will proceed with integration and pilot deployments, aiming to launch the sovereign cloud security platform for European customers later in 2026.
The announcement combines Zscaler’s zero‑trust security technology with Schwarz Digits’ IT and digital capabilities to create a cloud‑security offering that emphasizes data sovereignty for Europe. This reflects growing demand among European enterprises for cloud services that comply with regional data‑protection rules. By pairing a specialist in cloud‑delivered security with a major retail‑group’s IT arm, the partnership seeks to address a specific gap in the European cloud market.
