Jukka, CIO & CISO
Recent geopolitical shifts have highlighted the growing need for European alternatives, especially when it comes to securing data.
At UpCloud we help businesses turn European data sovereignty into a competitive advantage.
European operations and orchestration provide a foundation for secure, compliant, and efficient data storage, reinforcing data sovereignty and building trust in the digital economy.
To strengthen our European data residency, UpCloud has implemented an EU Access Management Policy, ensuring only EU-based employees have privileged full remote access to operating systems within our EU data centres.
Faced with US policy volatility and the threat of “Schrems III’s” looming over transatlantic data flows, European businesses must prioritise data sovereignty. Given the fragility of current frameworks, proactive risk mitigation is essential.
As a European owned and operated cloud provider, UpCloud offers a stable alternative to US hyperscalers, reducing reliance on volatile international agreements. In minimising third-country risks, businesses demonstrate a deeper commitment to ensuring data sovereignty, positioning themselves as a trusted partner.
European businesses must prioritize data sovereignty as Europe’s GDPR and the US CLOUD Act are in direct conflict, a clash highlighted by the 2020 Schrems II ruling and the potential threat of a Schrems III scenario.
This legal uncertainty, coupled with increasingly strained transatlantic relations and the risk of digital services becoming a target in future trade wars, makes reliance on US hyperscalers a critical business vulnerability. Choosing a European-owned and operated cloud is essential for business continuity and European regulatory compliance.
UpCloud stands as the European-owned, operated, and orchestrated alternative to US-based hyperscalers, ensuring data remain in Europe and out of reach of US jurisdiction. Unlike many local competitors, UpCloud offers a proprietary built, cloud-native service stack, designed for business-critical applications, as trusted by enterprises like Telia.
With 10 strategically located data centers across Europe (and more to come), UpCloud delivers the performance and scale needed for serious workloads while enabling customers to easily meet in-country data residency requirements.
