Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.
ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.

Introduction
Organizational autonomy and digital sovereignty are important, complex and evolving subject areas whose
implications have expanded in recent years, as organizations of all types address the challenges inherent to
supplying and procuring digital capabilities in evolving environments.
Government objectives and policies can often be addressed through public or private partnerships, as these
governments increasingly rely on industry to help address these goals to increase their prosperity while
maintaining an appropriate degree of control and independence.
Since the same issues of independence and freedom of action and choice also apply to organizations –
including private, public sector and not-for-profit – it is possible that such organizations will need to consider
their own independence to achieve their goals.
This document defines a framework for understanding and evaluating the implications of digital sovereignty
requirements and restrictions on the organization. It describes how the organization can configure its
digital platform to appropriately balance those requirements with its own need for organizational autonomy
to achieve its goals. The framework may be used by the organization itself, or by the policy makers and
regulators of a sovereign entity which desire to examine the consequences of proposed digital sovereignty

business or technical decision makers and digital pla
