Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud enables commercial and public sector organizations to place sensitive data and applications in the cloud in alignment with EU data privacy and sovereignty requirements.
“We needed to upgrade to our existing on-premises hospital information system (HIS) to enrich the healthcare experience of our patients. The choice of Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud was a clear decision, giving us the flexibility and agility of the cloud coupled with a cloud within the European Union to provide data and infrastructure security for the healthcare data of our patients.”
Our new, EU-specific cloud offering enables commercial and public sector organizations to place sensitive data and applications in the cloud in alignment with EU sovereignty requirements.
We designed a strong set of technical, organizational, and contractual controls to help address the requirement that your content, including personal information, will not leave the selected EU Sovereign Cloud data center region(s) without your authorization or instruction.
Oracle offers unique proven technical features based on real-world experiences
Regions are operated by EU-based legal entities that own the hardware and data center leases and provide the operations and support.
The isolation of the EU Sovereign Cloud realm allows Oracle to restrict support and operations, including physical and logical access to the realm, to EU residents employed by EU legal entities.
The EU-based legal entities are backed by a governance committee to ensure integrity and alignment with current and future regulations.

New cloud regions form a separate realm to ensure physical, logical, and cryptographical segregation from other regions, and access is granted exclusively to EU legal entity teams for deployment, operation, and security. EU data residency is intrinsic to the platform.
A full stack of cybersecurity solutions on top of the EU Sovereign Cloud realm offers customizable controls to align with audit and compliance requirements. Enhanced encryption and key management options fortify data protection and confidentiality.
Disaster recovery capabilities within the EU Sovereign Cloud realm ensure localized resilience, with each region featuring three fault domains for hardware distribution. This setup enhances reliability and minimizes potential disruptions, bolstering business continuity for customers.
EU Sovereign Cloud is supported by specific agreements, such as the data processing agreement, the service description, and a dedicated addendum to the service pillar document.
The contracts outline responsibilities for handling personal information, third-party subprocessors, confidentiality, and security measures. The contracts are designed to help address the requirement that your content will not leave the selected EU Sovereign Cloud region(s) without your authorization or instruction and aim to reduce the risk of unauthorized access by entities or individuals outside of the EU Sovereign Cloud organizations.
Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications will be available in EU Sovereign Cloud soon.
Expanding cloud options for customers with more public cloud, multicloud, hybrid cloud, and dedicated cloud capabilities.

In this post, we tackle one of the key drivers of data sovereignty requirements: the jurisdiction and laws that govern your data when operating in the cloud. Much of this discussion stems from the enactment of the 2018 US CLOUD Act . The US CLOUD Act raised questions about how global cloud providers, such as Oracle, evaluate and respond to law enforcement requests, especially regarding data stored or processed in jurisdictions outside the US.
