Why Secure Cloud Data Storage Matters More Than Ever

Organizations process vast amounts of personal data every day. In conversations with customers, one question often comes up:

“Can I safely process personal data in this SaaS application and be sure it complies with the GDPR?”

A very justified concern. Privacy legislation is complex, and the consequences of non‑compliance can be significant. At Harbers Security, we dive straight into the details whenever this question arises. What we often see: SaaS vendors claim they are GDPR‑compliant, while in reality, the data is stored in the United States. And that brings real risks.

The Risks of Data Storage in the U.S.

The U.S. Cloud Act requires American companies to hand over data to U.S. authorities. This directly conflicts with the GDPR, which imposes strict rules on processing personal data outside the EU.

If your data is stored in the U.S., you face:

• Conflicting legislation
• Legal uncertainty
• Potential fines for non‑compliance

What If Your Ideal SaaS Solution Stores Data in the U.S.?

Imagine you’ve found the perfect application for your organization — it fits your processes flawlessly. But after a privacy review, you learn that the cloud version stores data in the U.S., and an on‑premise setup isn’t an option because you don’t have your own servers.

So what now?
