Independence, productivity and innovative capacity.
Two colleagues using STACKIT Workspace on a laptop for secure, browser-based collaboration with client-side encryption.

In an era of geopolitical dynamics and strict compliance requirements, the new standard for digital working creates trust in the digital workplace in a sovereign environment. Workspace by STACKIT combines the proven productivity of Google Workspace with the uncompromising data sovereignty of the STACKIT cloud. This enables efficient, location-independent work, while sensitive data are handled and protected in accordance with European jurisprudence. Deep integration of AI tools such as Gemini and NotebookLM increases productivity and enables data-driven decisions by employees. Seamless integration with existing IT architectures preserves existing processes and provides immediate security and control for businesses and organizations. This creates digital sovereignty without sacrificing functionality and full performance.

The Sovereign, Secure Workspace

Workspace by STACKIT combines efficient collaboration with uncompromising data sovereignty. Client-side encryption protects information on the end device, and protects against access by the platform provider. All company data is stored directly in European data centers and thus remains GDPR-compliant in the European jurisdiction.

This IT architecture ensures maximum sovereignty and uncompromising security. It excludes third-party access from a technical perspective and gives companies and organizations full control over their data. Browser-only applications dramatically minimize desktop attack targets, while an optional open source emergency mode ensures maximum resiliency and business continuity. This enables digital collaboration without losing control.

The most important technical features at a glance:

  • No third-party access: The STACKIT infrastructure guarantees that unauthorized persons, including the platform provider, will not receive data access.
  • Client-side encryption: Encryption is already carried out on the end device to ensure data confidentiality. For example, it is not even possible for  company and organizational data to be viewed by Google.
  • Data backup in Europe: For maximum data sovereignty, all data is hosted exclusively in certified data centers in Europe.
  • Local data storage: Optional hosting of the data directly in the STACKIT data center to ensure maximum data sovereignty and compliance with German data protection standards.
  • Optional emergency mode: An optional open-source-based emergency mode guarantees business continuity and the highest level of resilience.
  • Browser-based real-time collaboration: All applications run directly in the web browser and offer maximum security against desktop vulnerabilities without installation.
