European Data Sovereignty
Your data stays under European law. No exceptions.
The cloud that Washington
cannot touch.
Cloud Acropolis is incorporated, operated, and legally domiciled in Lithuania, European Union. We have no US parent company, no US shareholders with legal control, and no obligation whatsoever to comply with US law — including the CLOUD Act of 2018.
When you host with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud — even in their EU regions — your data is still legally accessible to US authorities. With Cloud Acropolis, your data is protected by EU law and EU law alone.

AWS and Azure are subject to
US law — everywhere.
Even if your data sits in an AWS Frankfurt or Azure Amsterdam region, it is still controlled by a US-headquartered company. Under the CLOUD Act, US authorities can compel access to that data without your knowledge or consent — and without an EU court order.
This is not theoretical. It directly conflicts with GDPR, creates liability for your organization, and compromises the confidentiality of your customers, patients, and citizens.
- Cloud Acropolis has no US nexus — we cannot be compelled by US law
- All data governed exclusively under EU/EEA legal framework
- Any government access request subject to EU court process only
"A provider of electronic communication services or remote computing services shall comply… to preserve, backup, or disclose the contents of a wire or electronic communication… regardless of whether such communication… is located within or outside of the United States."
What this means for you:
- AWS, Azure, Google Cloud are all subject to this law
- Your EU data can be accessed without an EU court order
- You may never be notified a request was made
- GDPR compliance alone does not protect you from this
- Regulated sectors face direct legal exposure and audit risk
Not all "European" clouds are
actually European.
Geography is not jurisdiction. The only cloud that protects you is one with no US legal nexus whatsoever.

Built for European law,
from the ground up.
Six pillars that make genuine data sovereignty possible — not just marketed.
European Legal Domicile
Incorporated and operating in Lithuania — an EU member state. No US parent company. No CLOUD Act exposure. Your data governed exclusively by European law.
JurisdictionData Never Leaves the EU
Primary infrastructure in Vilnius, Lithuania. Disaster Recovery in Czech Republic. Every byte of your data resides within EU borders — at rest, in transit, and in backup.
Data ResidencyCertified to the Highest Standards
ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, PCI DSS, and ISO 9001 — including the two certifications specifically designed for cloud security and cloud privacy.
ComplianceTelecom Independence
Connected to all local telecom operators redundantly. If one uplink fails, others absorb the load seamlessly — no dependency on any single carrier.
ResilienceGDPR-Native Architecture
Privacy was not retrofitted — it is foundational. Our infrastructure and processes were designed to make GDPR compliance natural, not burdensome, for every customer.
PrivacyFull-Stack Redundancy
From facility through infrastructure, virtualization, storage, and software — every layer follows a fully redundant, fault-tolerant architecture. No single point of failure.
AvailabilityCompliance you can verify.
Not promises — independently audited certifications that prove our security and privacy posture.
Sovereignty matters most in
regulated industries.
If your sector handles sensitive data, you cannot afford a cloud provider with foreign legal exposure.
Public Sector & Government
Citizens' data must remain under national and EU jurisdiction. Cloud Acropolis is the only enterprise cloud that eliminates CLOUD Act exposure entirely — the legally safe choice for public administrations, ministries, and agencies across the EU.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Patient health data is among the most sensitive in existence. The European Health Data Space (EHDS) requires strict data residency. Cloud Acropolis ensures health records stay under EU law — period.
Financial Services & Fintech
DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) is now in force across the EU. Financial institutions need cloud infrastructure that supports operational resilience, data localization, and regulatory audit rights — all native to Cloud Acropolis.
Legal & Professional Services
Attorney-client privilege and professional secrecy obligations demand that confidential communications remain beyond the reach of foreign governments. Cloud Acropolis provides that guarantee by design, not by policy.
