Where your data physically lives might seem like a technical detail, but for European organisations it’s becoming one of the most important decisions in their digital strategy. Data residency — the guarantee that your data is stored and processed in a specific geographic location — is at the heart of digital sovereignty.
The regulatory landscape
GDPR established the principle that European citizens’ data deserves strong protection. NIS2 extends this to critical infrastructure and essential services. But compliance isn’t just about avoiding fines — it’s about building trust with your users, customers, and partners.
Beyond compliance
Data residency matters for reasons beyond regulation. When your data is stored in Europe, it’s subject to European law and European law alone. There are no conflicts with foreign legislation like the US CLOUD Act, which can compel American companies to hand over data stored anywhere in the world.
The mosa.cloud commitment
Every piece of data in mosa.cloud is stored and processed within the European Union. This isn’t an add-on or a premium feature — it’s fundamental to how we operate. From your documents and emails to your meeting recordings and chat messages, everything stays in Europe.
Making the switch
Moving to a European cloud provider doesn’t have to be disruptive. Modern migration tools and standard file formats make it possible to transition smoothly. And once you’re on a sovereign platform, you gain not just compliance but genuine control over your organisation’s digital life.
