# Self-Sovereign Technology: Why It Matters

In an era of increasing data breaches and privacy concerns, self-sovereign technology has become more important than ever. But what does it mean, and why should your business care?

## What is Self-Sovereignty?

Self-sovereign technology means you have complete control over your:
- **Data**: Store it where you want, how you want
- **Identity**: Own your digital identity without relying on third parties
- **Infrastructure**: Host your own services without vendor lock-in

## The Benefits

### 1. Complete Control
No more dependency on cloud providers who can change terms, raise prices, or shut down services without warning.

### 2. Enhanced Security
When you control your infrastructure, you control your security. No third-party has access to your sensitive data.

### 3. Cost Efficiency
Self-hosted solutions often have lower long-term costs compared to subscription-based cloud services.

### 4. Compliance Made Easy
Meet regulatory requirements by knowing exactly where your data is stored and who has access.
