OVHcloud and S2GRUPO have announced a strategic partnership to strengthen European digital sovereignty and cyber resilience. This collaboration offers a fully European alternative for secure, resilient digital environments.
OVHcloud and S2GRUPO announce a partnership to protect Europe against increasing cyber threats. Both companies combine their expertise in cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity. This collaboration comes at a time when digital sovereignty is becoming increasingly important in Europe. The partners offer a fully European alternative for organizations looking for secure and compliant digital environments.
Both companies want to share their vision of creating a more secure digital Europe. This partnership combines European cloud solutions with cybersecurity. This allows organizations to better protect their critical data and infrastructure. The partnership also provides a solution for increasing cyber threats and the strengthening of digital sovereignty in Europe.
European alliance
OVHcloud has a global network of 46 data centers, 21 of which are in Europe, offering companies full control over their technology stack. The provider’s cloud solutions meet high security standards. Through this certification, organizations maintain control over their data in the cloud. The French cloud provider positions itself as the European alternative to American hyperscalers.
S2GRUPO is a European cybersecurity company headquartered in Spain, active in more than 35 countries. It specializes in protecting critical infrastructures and organizations against advanced cyber threats. With deep expertise in both IT and OT cybersecurity, the provider aims to cover the full spectrum, with tailored services for highly regulated and mission-critical environments such as energy, utilities, transport, and industry. Like OVHcloud, S2GRUPO is fully European: its core processes run on European technology or open-source software.
Sovereignty and security
In the announcement, the companies point to European firms’ dependence on American cloud providers and the associated risks. Cyber incidents have increased by 69 percent since 2020, with critical infrastructure now accounting for 70 percent of all reported incidents in 2025. Attacks on OT environments—the industrial control systems that support energy, transport, water, and manufacturing—have grown to nearly one in five of all identified threat categories in Europe.
The NIS2 Directive establishes a uniform legal framework to ensure cybersecurity across eighteen critical sectors in the EU. Member states must define national cybersecurity strategies and international cooperation. This partnership addresses this with fully European cloud and cybersecurity solutions. This allows regulated sectors to confidently rely on protection and advanced resilience.
