Solutions for European digital sovereignty | Bechtle

The road to digital sovereignty with Bechtle.

Working together for secure and independent IT.

Digital sovereignty plays a crucial role in digitalisation as it gives software and IT service users independence from external influences. In Europe, however, this level of sovereignty still requires some work as authorities and businesses rely heavily on digital imports from beyond the continent. Over many years, we have supported numerous public institutions and businesses on their path towards digital sovereignty. With some 80 system houses in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Bechtle offers a vendor-neutral portfolio that covers all aspects of IT infrastructure an operations from a single source.

Together, we’ll get your digitalisation projects off the ground –

Expertly, GDPR-compliant and tailored to your needs.

Effective IT security for your data and systems.

Threats associated with cyberattacks have increased significantly over the last few years for both the public and private sectors. In 2020 and 2021, on average nine out of ten companies were impacted by cyberattacks. Criminals like to hack into networks to steal sensitive data, paralyse information and production systems and install ransomware for blackmail purposes. In addition to the loss of data, these kind of attacks usually also lead to a significant loss of trust and image for those affected. Bechtle helps business and public authorities protect themselves against these kind of cyberattacks with our Managed Services experts offering support in adhering to compliance policies, e-mail security, Identity Access Management (IAM), multi-factor authentication, remote access security and the integration and operation of Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). This means you save costs, but are also able to deploy your IT staff more efficiently. If anything does happen, Bechtle will also purge the affected system of malware and will help track down those involved meaning we offer all-round reliable protection that enhances your digital sovereignty.
