CloudFuze Meets GDPR Compliance Requirements for EU Companies

If you are an EU business planning a cloud migration, you understand that compliance is non-negotiable. The EU-based companies must adhere to a set of strict data handling policies, especially when it comes to cloud migration and cross-border data transfer.

CloudFuze helps the EU-based companies in dealing with data handling policies by providing a secure and compliant cloud migration solution for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 migration, aligning with GDPR requirements and enterprise-grade security standards.

Key Takeaways:

  • GDPR compliance is mandatory for EU cloud migrations, requiring strict data residency, encryption, and access controls.
  • CloudFuze keeps all migration data within EU borders, ensuring GDPR data sovereignty and audit readiness.
  • CloudFuze Migrate enables secure, compliant migrations with SCC support, end-to-end encryption, and OAuth 2.0 authentication.
  • What Are the Data Handling Policies EU Companies Must Follow?

    Companies that are EU-based must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which regulates how personal data should be collected, processed, stored, and transferred.

    GDPR imposes data protection best practices such as data minimization, encryption, access control, and auditability on businesses. Furthermore, businesses must also ensure that any third-party vendor processing data on their behalf adheres to the same stringent compliance requirements.
    The most important EU policies regarding data handling are:

  • Data processing based on a legal basis
  • Secure storage and encrypted transmission of data
  • Data Minimization and Retention Limits
  • Right to access, correct, or delete personal data
  • Strict rules for cross-border data transfers
  • How CloudFuze Helps EU Companies Meet GDPR Compliance Requirements

    We at CloudFuze help EU enterprises achieve GDPR compliance with a secure, transparent, and audit-ready approach.

    Our GDPR-compliant tool handles all data transfers between platforms like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 using EU-hosted infrastructure, where all migration data stays within European borders. It supports key GDPR principles such as data minimization and purpose limitation.

    Our cloud migration service offers end-to-end encrypted migration, with secure authentication, access controls that are rock solid, and preserves all the metadata. This all means that data is protected while maintaining clear audit trails.

    Minimal cross-border flows are managed through Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), and comprehensive logging enables IT teams to monitor activity, stay audit-ready, and respond to breaches within 72 hours.

    Why We Care About Secure Data Handling for EU Enterprises

    GDPR non-compliance can cost businesses significant GDPR penalties and reputational damage. Moreover, weak data handling practices can lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, and loss of customer trust.

    With our GDPR-compliant cloud migration tool, CloudFuze Migrate, EU-based companies can ensure secure data handling throughout the migration process and maintain compliance in their ongoing cloud operations. That means they can avoid all the risks and penalties that come with a data breach.

    Our Advanced Security Measures

    At CloudFuze, our security is our top priority. We use OAuth 2.0 authentication that eliminates the hassle of storing admin credentials, so you can connect your source and destination tenants directly with ease.

    Data in transit uses RSA 2048-bit encryption, and our granular permission mapping process preserves access controls, ownership, and timestamps to avoid compliance gaps.

    Our security posture is validated with SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, and therefore, we’re the perfect choice for any enterprise with a zero-tolerance policy on security and strict GDPR compliance requirements.

    Tailored for Enterprise Needs

    EU companies benefit from CloudFuze’s no-vendor-lock-in approach, supporting migrations across 40+ platforms, including OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Automated reporting tools generate detailed logs after migration, which is a must-have for any post-migration audit, especially when demonstrating compliance to regulators.

    Case Studies: GDPR-Compliant Migration for Gatwick Airport

    Gatwick Airport Limited needs to securely and compliantly migrate to Microsoft 365 while also ensuring that its data remained within the boundaries of the UK/EU so that there would be no interruption to daily operations. Due to the stringent GDPR and data governance regulations applicable to Gatwick, it was critical to maintain the user’s permissions, metadata, and access.

    We at CloudFuze successfully completed a GDPR compliant migration and hosted all of Gatwick’s data in the EU regions and maintained complete data integrity throughout the migration process.

    As a result, we migrated to Microsoft 365 helping Gatwick Airport to modernize its collaborative working environment while still complying with the EU’s stringent data protection requirements.
