U.S. laws such as the CLOUD Act and FISA 702 may compel U.S. providers (or their parents) to disclose data even if it sits in Europe. GDPR — including Article 48 — restricts such disclosures without an international agreement (for example an MLAT).

Practical Tips - Best 5 Dutch Cloud Providers
SLA / uptime & geo-redundancy: Prefer at least two Dutch sites, with clear redundancy design and documented failover
Certs & reports: Ask for current ISO/IEC 27001, NEN 7510 (if relevant), ISO 9001, and ISAE 3402/SOC reports; confirm scope and legal entity on the certificate.
Jurisdiction controls: Dutch law venue; Article 48 handling; explicit no third-country disclosures without EU legal basis.
Data location & exit: Region pinning inside Netherlands; documented export tools and clear off-boarding.
Network: Prefer direct peering at major Dutch IXPs (AMS-IX, NL-IX, FRYS-IX) and private interconnects where needed; ask for peering policy and PoP list.
Support: 24/7 Dutch/English operations with documented incident process and response SLAs
Why Dutch-owned providers help with CLOUD Act/FISA risk
Foreign demands for data can clash with GDPR Article 48 unless an international agreement applies. Using Dutch-owned providers reduces exposure to foreign parent company obligations and may simplify legal control under Dutch and EU law. You still need strong contracts, technical controls, and current audit reports, but the jurisdiction posture is usually clearer under Dutch law.
