Microsoft blocked EU agency accounts under US sanctions · 2025

The US has a kill switch
on your EU infrastructure.

The CLOUD Act lets the US government compel data access from any US-incorporated cloud provider — regardless of where your data is stored. AWS Frankfurt, Azure Netherlands, Google Belgium: none of them are sovereign. Lens maps your stack against 7 genuinely EU-owned clouds and tells you exactly what moves, what breaks, and how much you save.

The problem

An EU region is not EU sovereignty.

A Brussels think tank found 16 EU countries have defence agencies directly on US cloud infrastructure. 7 more use European contractors that rely on US infrastructure underneath. "Sovereign cloud" offerings from AWS, Azure, and GCP are sovereign-washing — US law still applies. True sovereignty requires an EU-incorporated provider.

The CLOUD Act exposes everything

Any US-incorporated cloud provider — including their EU regions and 'sovereign zones' — can be compelled to hand over data under US law. This already happened: Microsoft blocked ICC prosecutor accounts in 2025.

Sovereign-washing is not sovereignty

AWS EU Sovereign Cloud, Azure EU Data Boundary, Google Cloud Sovereign via T-Systems — none protect against the CLOUD Act. Under sanctions, software updates can be blocked even if your data never leaves Europe.

Not every service has an EU equivalent

Managed AI, serverless compute, specialist databases — the EU cloud service catalogue is a fraction of US commercial clouds. The gaps are invisible until you are already committed to the migration.

What you get

A complete sovereignty picture in minutes

Connect your AWS account with a read-only IAM role. Lens scans 91 services, scores 7 EU clouds, and flags every compliance and cost risk — before you commit to anything.

Compliance flags

CLOUD Act, GDPR, Schrems II, EU AI Act, and NIS2 risks flagged by severity — with legal citations and documented precedents.

7-cloud ranked comparison

Hetzner, OVHcloud, Scaleway, IONOS, Exoscale, UpCloud, Open Telekom Cloud — scored against your actual detected services.

Cost savings estimate

Your projected monthly bill on each EU cloud versus your current cloud spend. The number your CFO needs to approve the migration.

Shareable PDF report

A branded, board-ready report with scores, compliance flags, cost estimates, and service mappings — ready to attach to a Slack message or compliance review.

How it works

Three steps. No agents. No guesswork.

01

Connect your cloud

Attach a read-only IAM role to your AWS account. No write access, no agents, no production risk. GCP and Azure support coming.

02

Lens scans 91 services

Compute, storage, databases, messaging, security, AI/ML — every service is checked in parallel and mapped to its EU sovereign equivalent across all 7 EU clouds.

03

What teams are finding

Engineers who thought the sovereign move would be straightforward.

We assumed moving to OVHcloud would be straightforward — same APIs, right? Lens found 6 services with no sovereign equivalent before we committed to anything.

The compliance flags alone justified the price. We had no idea our Rekognition usage put us in a high-risk category under the EU AI Act. That finding changed our entire ML strategy.
