SGT Capital Founders Joseph Pacini, Carsten Geyer, Marianne Rajic, Dino Steinborn and Marcel Normann congratulate portfolio company Utimaco on its success as a key partner with Microsoft and its Sovereign Cloud initiatives

ZUG, Switzerland, Oct. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Joseph Pacini, Carsten Geyer, Marianne Rajic, Dino Steinborn and Marcel Normann – the Founders of SGT Capital – congratulate Utimaco, a leading global provider of IT security solutions, and its executive team for being a key partner with Microsoft and its Sovereign Cloud initiatives.

As recently quoted in Handelsblatt:

"Group CEO Satya Nadella presented a concept in Amsterdam that allows customers in Europe to run Microsoft cloud solutions that keep customer data in Europe. The operation and access of European employees are to be controlled and the encryption is to be completely under the control of the customers.

As part of the data protection guarantee, Microsoft also relies on encryption technology that comes from Germany. Customers can connect the Microsoft cloud with keys stored on their own Hardware Security Module (HSM). Nadella said that they are working with, among others, the Aachen security specialist UtimacoTogether."
