Sovereign & NIS2 Compliant

Microsoft Copilot for
Malta's Public Sector

Modernise government operations, improve citizen services, and boost public sector productivity. Veracloud deploys Copilot with sovereign-compliant data governance for Malta's ministries, agencies, and public entities.

Digital Transformation for Government

Malta's government has been a pioneer in digital transformation through initiatives like the Digital Malta strategy, eGovernment services, and the Malta Digital Innovation Authority. The vision is clear: a more efficient, transparent, and citizen-centric public administration.

However, government departments face unique challenges. Siloed information, complex approval workflows, high volumes of citizen inquiries, and the need to maintain strict data governance all create bottlenecks that slow down public service delivery.

Microsoft Copilot, deployed by Veracloud with EU sovereign cloud capabilities, provides government employees with AI-powered tools that break down these barriers while maintaining the security and data sovereignty standards that public sector organisations require.

Compliance Framework

  • NIS2 Directive for essential government services
  • EU Data Sovereignty and sovereign cloud options
  • GDPR for citizen personal data
  • Digital Malta strategy alignment
  • Public procurement compliance (Department of Contracts)
  • EU AI Act government-sector requirements

How Copilot Modernises Government Operations

From policy drafting to citizen services, Copilot empowers civil servants to deliver better public services with greater efficiency.

Policy Document Drafting

Copilot in Word assists policy analysts in drafting consultation papers, impact assessments, and legislative summaries. Cross-reference existing legislation and EU directives to ensure consistency and completeness.

Citizen Inquiry Automation

Deploy Copilot Studio chatbots to handle citizen inquiries across government services. Provide 24/7 responses in English and Maltese, reducing wait times and freeing front-desk staff for complex cases.

Internal Knowledge Management

Make institutional knowledge accessible across ministries and departments. Copilot searches internal documents, policies, and procedures to help civil servants find answers quickly, reducing reliance on institutional memory.
