NEW RELEASE! ICTP 389: Data embassies and rethinking sovereignty in the digital age, with Demetris Herakleous of @eclac_un bit.ly/4rUCQfq #podcast #dataembassy #ICT #Caribbean #datasovereignty

On the occasion of Estonia’s Independence Day, we spotlight the country’s key digital governance priorities and enforcement approach. Estonia’s ‘digital state’ runs on widely used e-ID and digital signatures, and it has even built a ‘Data Embassy’ in Luxembourg, a continuity arrangement formalised by a bilateral agreement signed in 2017 to help restore essential state data if domestic infrastructure is disrupted. Security and rights safeguards sit alongside this ambition: Estonia’s Cybersecurity Strategy 2024–2030 frames resilience of digital services as a national priority, while the Data Protection Inspectorate has shown willingness to sanction poor security, most notably a €3 million fine in 2025 over the Apotheka loyalty programme breach affecting 750,000 people, including children.

eEstonia Briefing Center Tallinn: Weil die öff. Verwaltung in Estland so krass digitalisiert ist, spielen Cybersicherheit u Datensicherheit eine extrem wichtige Rolle. Deshalb gibts in Luxemburg eine „#DataEmbassy“ mit Backup der wichtigsten öfftl. Datenbanken. #btAdiEstFinn /16

A #dataembassy in another country would provide additional security for the continuity of our digital services, according to @sikkut, the CIO of #Estonia. He said currently, everything runs smoothly, but Estonia is constantly developing its system. news.err.ee/1608338096/eston…
