AWS European Sovereign Cloud data residency

| EU | Terms not stated | — | aws.eu | 2026-11-09 |

The same question for every vendor: where SaaS vendors store EU data.

Does AWS European Sovereign Cloud have a SOC 2 report?
AWS European Sovereign Cloud states SOC 2 (no type given) on its own page, but does not say there how to get a report. We read this on 2026-11-09.
Of the 114 vendors in this registry whose own pages mention SOC 2, 57 say the report is available on request, 1 links to the report itself, and 56 state it without saying how to get it. The type is the one the vendor names.
Is AWS European Sovereign Cloud ISO 27001 certified?
AWS European Sovereign Cloud states ISO/IEC 27001 on its own page, but does not say there how to get the certificate. We read this on 2026-11-09.
On the same list AWS European Sovereign Cloud also names ISO/IEC 27017, ISO/IEC 27018 and ISO/IEC 27701. Each standard's page says how it relates to ISO/IEC 27001.
Of the 122 vendors in this registry whose own pages state ISO/IEC 27001, 16 link to the certificate, 43 say it is available on request, and 63 state it without saying how to get it. A certificate names the certification body, the scope and the expiry date: those are the three things to check.

Claimed means the vendor asserts the scheme on its own page and offers nothing further. Available on request means the report or certificate exists but sits behind a request, a login or an NDA. Neither is a certificate we have seen. That is a distinction an auditor makes, so we make it too.

What the authority publishes, not what the vendor claims. An entry covers the offering it names and nothing else: a FedRAMP authorisation for a government edition says nothing about the commercial service. No entry is not a finding about security - most vendors never apply - and an entry filed under a name not listed above would not have been found.
What an entry on the Data Privacy Framework List covers, and which vendors hold one: EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
