SOV-2-03 State of Defense Takeover

If an EU member state declares a state of defense, the cloud service provider MUST enable the EU member state to take over the capabilities required to operate the cloud, including the necessary physical assets and personnel, within the framework of legal possibilities.

If Germany declares a state of defense, the cloud service provider MUST enable the German federal administration to take over the capabilities required to operate the cloud, including the necessary material assets and personnel, within the framework of legal possibilities.

This usually means that the cloud service provider has the documentation, source code and administration tools in a portable format so that a federal administration can use them.
