    Nah, as long as the actual servers are hosted in Europe, you’re compliant with GDPR and European law. The European company is not liable if the US government violates the EU-US framework.

      The Processor is not, but the Controller is still required to guarantee appropriate security for personal data. Appropriate means running a risk assessment and deciding accordingly.

      The problem is when in the EU we take as security responsible for healthcare people who handled IAM for Jira tops.

        There is no requirement for the company to think about that. The majority of GDPR-compliant companies still store on AWS/GCP, just on EU servers.
