The Cloud Act: What Does It Mean in Practice?
The U.S. Cloud Act allows U.S. authorities to request access to data held by a U.S. company, regardless of the country where that data is stored. Hosting data with a provider subject to French law eliminates this direct exposure.
The European Data Governance Act complements this regulation on the EU side.

Is SecNumCloud required?
No, it is still optional and is enabled at the request of the end customer or as required by regulations.
Is it cheaper than an American hyperscaler?
Not always. The price depends on the scope and is compared to the cost estimate, line by line. What you’re purchasing first and foremost is the right to use your data and the right to operate in France.
