Ranked by feature parity + compliance score. Migration friction is weighted higher than feature breadth.
Swedish OpenStack public + compliant cloud (Cleura, ex-City Network, Iver-owned), ISO 27001/27017/27018, EU-only residency.
Finnish performance-focused cloud (Helsinki, 2011), 14+ DCs worldwide including 9 EU regions; ISO 27001; trusted by Plausible.
Spanish private cloud + bare metal (Stackscale, Grupo Aire), Madrid + Amsterdam DCs, ISO 27001/27017/27018 + ENS High.
For every product we read the public DPA, sub-processors document, hosting region declaration, and corporate ownership records. Each is timestamped. Compliance score is editorial, re-verified quarterly. We never accept self-attestation.
