NIS2 is here. GDPR enforcement is intensifying. DORA demands operational resilience. European organizations need private cloud infrastructure — not just promises from US hyperscalers.
Three regulatory frameworks are converging — and public cloud is not enough.
European organizations face a tightening regulatory environment. NIS2 mandates supply chain security and incident reporting. GDPR requires demonstrable data control. DORA demands ICT resilience testing. Together, they make US-controlled cloud infrastructure a structural compliance risk.
US hyperscalers operate under the CLOUD Act, which compels data disclosure regardless of where it is stored. "EU regions" don't change the legal jurisdiction of the provider. Only infrastructure owned and operated by EU-jurisdiction entities delivers true compliance.
Mandatory for essential and important entities across 18 sectors. Supply chain security, incident reporting within 24 hours, management liability. Effective October 2024.
