## In brief

- IBM's Digital Sovereignty Index found 94% of surveyed enterprises faced at least one digital sovereignty challenge in the past three years.
- Of those affected, 91% had to demonstrate that they retained control during their most challenging event.

## Why it matters

Developers at enterprises may be asked to produce evidence of control over their systems and data, which makes audit trails part of the engineering work.
