Municipality & Government

The digitalization challenge for government bodies is bigger than ever: citizens expect digital services that actually work, while regulators enforce increasingly strict controls on privacy and information security. The pressure to comply with NIS2, BIO2 and GDPR is growing, while budgets remain tight and systems are often older than the ambitions running on top of them.

Challenges within municipalities & government

The application landscape of a municipality is rarely fully modern. Legacy systems run alongside newer connections to chain partners. Every change requires care so as not to jeopardize the continuity of service delivery. The BIO sets concrete requirements for how IT is set up and demonstrably secured, which you must account for every year through the ENSIA accountability process.

The Common Ground and Haven agendas are increasing the need for flexible, data-driven systems that can collaborate with other government bodies and chain partners. And AI? The opportunities for better service delivery are real, but the data foundation at many municipalities is not yet in order. That calls for deliberate choices before anything gets built.

Sovereignty without fear

Digital sovereignty has become a thorny issue for many government bodies and vital organisations, driven by new legislation and growing dependence on non-European cloud providers. We take a level-headed approach: full sovereignty doesn't exist yet, and you don't need it everywhere either. That's why we look at the real risk per IT domain and determine the right level of sovereignty for it, rather than steering on fear or a checklist. That way, compliance becomes the result of sharp choices, and you stay in control of your data without giving up the power of modern cloud and AI.

FAQ

  • Are you familiar with BIO2 and NIS2 and what they concretely mean for our IT setup?

    Yes. We work for multiple government organizations and know the requirements of BIO2 and NIS2 from the inside. Our cloud environments and security approach are set up to align with these measures, including the documentation and reporting that regulators expect.

  • How quickly can we get started?

    After an initial introductory conversation, an intake of the IT landscape follows. Depending on the scope, we are typically operational within a few weeks. In urgent situations, such as security incidents or an upcoming contract termination, we scale up faster.

  • Do you also work together with our existing suppliers and municipal applications?

    Yes. Digital Survival Company works alongside existing suppliers and integrates with common municipal applications and connections. We build on what already works and modernize where that adds value, without unnecessary disruption to service delivery. We already work with many municipal application suppliers thanks to our broad customer base in the municipal market.
