European Data Residency — Keep Your Workspace Data in the EU
Host your SmartSuite workspace in the European Union instead of the United States—supporting data-sovereignty requirements, GDPR-aligned practices, and the residency commitments your customers expect.
What Is European Data Residency?
European Data Residency is a SmartSuite capability that lets qualifying customers host their workspace data in the European Union rather than the United States. It helps EU-based and internationally regulated organizations meet data-sovereignty requirements and support GDPR-aligned practices—data stays in-region while teams work on one governed platform. European Data Residency is available on the Enterprise plan.
EU Hosting
Choose Where Your SmartSuite Data Lives
SmartSuite operates in two AWS regions: the United States (AWS Ohio, US-East-2) and the European Union (AWS Ireland, EU-West-1). Qualifying Enterprise customers choose the region where their workspace data is stored—so an EU organization's records, files, and documents are hosted on EU soil.
Same platform, same capabilities, different address: residency is an infrastructure decision, not a product trade-off.
GDPR Alignment
Support GDPR Requirements With Regional Controls and a DPA
EU hosting is one part of SmartSuite's GDPR approach. Qualified Enterprise accounts can put a Data Processing Agreement in place that incorporates the EU Standard Contractual Clauses for compliant international data transfers, arranged through SmartSuite Sales.
Together—in-region hosting, a signed DPA, and SmartSuite's independently audited privacy practices—they give data-protection teams concrete artifacts for vendor assessments and records of processing.
European Data Residency
Where data lives is a governance decision. European Data Residency lets regulated and EU-based organizations adopt SmartSuite without renegotiating their sovereignty commitments.
An EU organization whose policies require in-region storage hosts its workspace in AWS Ireland (EU-West-1), keeping governed records and evidence inside the European Union.
A data-protection officer requests a Data Processing Agreement incorporating the EU Standard Contractual Clauses as a qualified Enterprise account—closing the GDPR requirements in vendor due diligence.
A European compliance team standardizes control testing, evidence collection, and policy workflows on SmartSuite while its registers, attachments, and audit documentation stay hosted in-region.
Pair European Data Residency with SmartSuite's Compliance Certifications—EU hosting answers where data lives, and audited SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 practices answer how it's protected.
