Important
Regulated Environment Management (REM) is now Sovereign Control Panel (SCP).
Sovereign Control Panel (SCP) is the integration point for sovereignty in Microsoft's public cloud. It's one place to Discover, Control, and Act on your sovereignty posture across Azure environments. It provides a unified Azure portal experience for viewing, managing, and evaluating sovereignty posture across tenant resources. It aggregates sovereignty signals into a centralized and intuitive console for users to view and verify sovereignty requirements.
Discover, Control, and Act
SCP is organized around a single operating model that spans the sovereignty lifecycle:
- Discover - Measure and prove your posture with a read-only, evidence-based view across residency, confidentiality, operational sovereignty, and continuity.
- Control - Set and enforce the controls your organization requires, including your own sovereignty rules.
- Act - Prioritize sovereign risk and remediate resources that drift from the expected state.
Why it matters
For regulated organizations, proving sovereignty is often harder than implementing it. Teams spend far more effort assembling evidence than enabling controls. The following reasons explain why SCP is important for customers seeking sovereignty in the public cloud:
- Single view of posture: SCP replaces fragmented, tool-by-tool checks with one authoritative sovereignty view across the tenant, management group, subscription, and resource hierarchy.
- Evidence, not policy assertion: SCP combines Azure Policy evaluations with direct resource configuration reads, so coverage isn't limited to where a policy alias happens to exist.
- Trust and assurance: Reinforces Microsoft's commitment to digital sovereignty by giving customers a defensible answer to "where do I stand?"
Who should use SCP?
Use SCP if your organization runs workloads on Azure and needs to show strong alignment with local laws and policy frameworks while continuing to benefit from public-cloud innovation, resiliency, and security.
Typical users of SCP include organizations that want to host some or most of their workloads and resources in accordance with regulatory requirements, such as the SEAL framework.
- National and federal government and public sector agencies.
- Regulated industries such as financial, healthcare, defense, energy, and critical infrastructure services.
- National and sovereign cloud operators.
