Over the past months, I’ve noticed a clear shift in the conversations I’m having with customers across Europe. More and more organizations are asking about data sovereignty, cyber defense, data residency, and European control, not as afterthoughts, but as top priorities.
The question isn’t how fast or how scalable anymore. It’s where does our data live? and under which jurisdiction is it protected?
And that shift isn’t just technical, but it’s geopolitical. The global landscape has changed. Trust, control, and independence have become strategic imperatives. From telecom to finance to manufacturing, European leaders are realizing that digital dependence on non-European vendors introduces risks that go far beyond compliance. It affects resilience, reputation, and even national competitiveness.
What is European Data Protection Act?
The most popular data protection act globally is European and called as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It was passed by the European Union on May 25, 2018. This act focuses on data privacy and security. In simple words, it gives individuals the right on their data and regulates organizations to store and process data under the guidelines laid out by the GDPR Act.
How Can You Implement European Data Residency?
I hear it every week now: “Can you guarantee that our data stays within the EU?” or “Can you deliver observability, cybersecurity, and managed detection and response services completely free from non-European jurisdiction?”
The short answer is yes.
At Observata, we built HYPR Vision precisely to enable that, a managed observability service that gives organizations full control, transparency, and European data residency. HYPR Vision can be deployed wherever customers need it:
- On-premise within their own infrastructure
- Hosted with local European cloud providers
- Or installed in-country for complete sovereignty
No matter where or how it’s deployed — on-prem, local cloud, or hybrid – all HYPR Vision service tiers still apply. The same lifecycle, SLAs, and proactive managed service model are delivered consistently. In other words, we provide HYPR Vision as a Service, regardless of infrastructure or combination thereof.
Flexibility doesn’t mean compromise. It means freedom with consistency, a truly sovereign observability solution built for Europe.
When it comes to HYPR Guard, our Cyber Defense and Cybersecurity service, the model complements sovereignty with collective intelligence. HYPR Guard delivers Managed Detection and Response (MDR) from the AWS Frankfurt region within CrowdStrike’s controlled European cloud, processing metadata only and never customer content. That metadata enables a shared defense model, where emerging threats are identified before they strike.
This “stronger together” model makes HYPR Guard both sovereign and smart, leveraging collective security intelligence while keeping sensitive data protected within European borders.
I believe this is the model Europe needs to lead with: sovereign where it matters, collaborative where it counts.
We’re entering a new era of digital self-determination. It’s not about isolation but confidence. About ensuring that European innovation, cybersecurity, and independence can coexist without compromise.
Europe is waking up. And I’m proud that Observata is ready, helping organizations achieve true data sovereignty through HYPR Vision, HYPR Guard, and Managed Detection and Response services designed for Europe.
