Why to switch to EU Sovereign Cloud?
EU Sovereign Cloud is a secure cloud environment designed to meet strict European data protection and sovereignty standards.
Here’s why it matters:
- Data stays in Europe: Your data is processed and stored only in the EU region you select—never moved without your explicit instruction.
- No exposure to non-EU jurisdictions: All operations are governed by EU law. Your data is safe from the U.S. CLOUD Act and other extraterritorial demands, as the entire infrastructure is run by EU-incorporated entities.
- Run by EU entities: All infrastructure is operated by EU legal entities. No foreign access or dependency.
- End-to-end sovereignty governance: Backed by a governance committee, the cloud service aligns with present and future EU digital regulations—ensuring future-proof compliance.
Who benefits from EU Sovereign Cloud?
Public sector organisations, regulated industries, and any company needing secure cloud-based project tools with EU data residency. Ideal for institutions with mandatory open-source requirements.
EU-only hosting, zero compromise
Gain peace of mind with full data control, verified security, and compliance-ready infrastructure—hosted exclusively in certified EU data centres and protected by enterprise-grade encryption:
- Independent, auditable, open-source foundation: Built on certified open-source code and ISO 27001-compliant infrastructure with ensured transparent operations and verifiable security.
- Data stays in the EU: Data is hardware-pinned and locked to selected EU regions. There’s no replication or backup outside your chosen region, ensuring strict data residency and compliance with GDPR, NIS 2, and the upcoming EU AI Act.
- Enterprise-grade isolation and encryption: Includes Zero Trust encryption, TLS 1.3 in transit, AES256 at rest, and optional customer-managed keys for highly classified workloads.

Why on-premises and data sovereignty are non-negotiable in defense industry
When national security and innovation rely on your data, handing control to third-party clouds isn’t just risky—it’s reckless. For defense leaders, choosing on-premises or EU Sovereign Cloud solutions is no longer a technical preference, but a strategic necessity to protect critical operations, intellectual property, and compliance.

FAQs
What is the European sovereign cloud?
A European sovereign cloud is a cloud-computing environment that keeps all customer data, metadata, workloads and administrative control under exclusive European Union (EU) jurisdiction, operated by EU-based staff and certified against EU rules, so that organisations can comply with the bloc’s demanding privacy, cybersecurity and industrial-policy requirements while still enjoying hyperscale cloud services.
The idea is driven by Europe’s wider push for digital sovereignty—reducing reliance on non-EU tech infrastructure— and is being realised through a mix of EU policy instruments (GDPR, the proposed Cloud & AI Development Act, the EU-wide “EUCS” security label) and large public-private projects.
Due to conflicting legislatures, there is a serious doubt among legal experts whether a US based parent company can truly provide an EU sovereign cloud, as they so strongly claim, through their directly controlled subsidiaries in the EU.
What is the difference between GDPR and Cloud Act?
GDPR is an EU-wide privacy statute that limits what organisations may do with individuals’ personal data and how that data can be transferred outside the bloc.
The CLOUD Act is a U.S. criminal-procedure law that expands when U.S. authorities may compel cloud providers to hand over data—even if the bits sit in Europe.
One protects data subjects; the other empowers investigators. Because both reach across borders, they can collide, forcing companies to balance EU obligations to withhold data against U.S. orders to disclose it.
GDPR and the CLOUD Act pursue opposite goals—one to shield personal data, the other to expose it for legitimate policing—yet both claim global reach. Companies operating trans-Atlantically must design governance that can survive being pulled in both directions at once.
What is the sovereign cloud?
A sovereign cloud is not a new deployment model (public vs private) but a governance overlay—rooted in jurisdictional control—that can be applied to public, dedicated or distributed clouds.
As privacy rules tighten and geopolitics intensify, these ring-fenced clouds are moving from niche compliance play to mainstream expectation for any workload that carries legal, security or national-interest weight.
Can I switch from cloud to server subscription?
Yes, it is possible. If you decide to move to your own servers, we will prepare a complete software package with a database for you.
However, you would have to purchase the server license for Easy8, since the cloud solution is just a service.
It is the same with data from a trial which you might like to keep after the purchase.
