Leaseweb vs OVHcloud

IaaS provider, not a no-logs VPN. No public independent audit of logging practices found beyond the named ISO/SOC/PCI reports.

IaaS/hosting provider, not a no-logs VPN product. Security is covered via ISO/SOC programme rather than a public no-logs audit.

Vendor: ISO 27001:2022 via EY CertifyPoint for Leaseweb Global B.V., Netherlands B.V., USA, Deutschland, UK, Singapore, Canada, Network B.V. Services listed: corporate infrastructure, bare metal, VPS, private/hybrid cloud, colo, web hosting, domains. Certificate download promised on the marketing security page (SPA). Independent register entry not retrieved in this pass.

Vendor compliance pages assert ISO/IEC 27001 (with 27017/27018) for cloud services and datacentres; US pages reference Schellman certificate directory. Confirm current scope per product and region.

SOC 2 published for Leaseweb Canada, Inc. colocation (Security and Availability, UHY Forbes Andersen). Several entities have SOC 1 Type II (EY / ISAE 3402) covering cloud, dedicated, colo, and web hosting.

Vendor asserts SSAE 18 Type 2 SOC 1, SOC 2 (+NIST), and SOC 3 attestations; reports available to prospective customers under vendor process.

NL entity; Clause 8 cites GDPR and the Dutch UAVG. Transfers outside the EEA only with safeguards. Global catalog still includes non-EU regions.

EU headquartered; GDPR compliance asserted; DPA documents published for relevant subsidiaries. Residency depends on chosen region.

Dutch group, no known US parent, but the catalog includes US halls, Leaseweb USA, Inc., us-01 object storage, and optional Cloud Connect to AWS/GCP/Azure. NL Clause 8.3 can keep a Netherlands contract on Dutch DCs if you do not choose otherwise. Assessment row, not a vendor claim. Not legal advice.

French group with no known US parent, but operates US datacentres (Vint Hill, Hillsboro) and OVH US LLC. Medium indicative exposure: EU-region workloads on EU contracts differ from US-region workloads. Not legal advice.

Privacy page (search snippet) and NL/DE sales terms: processor language in Clause 8; standalone DPA on request in older DE terms. Sub-processor list on request (NL 8.4).

Published DPAs form part of terms (e.g. OVH SAS Europe paths; separate US DPA for OVH US LLC). Obtain the DPA matching your contracting entity.

IaaS compute, storage, colo, and network. Public Cloud lists small-scale GPU/inference instance types, but the offering is not an AI system product.

Core product is IaaS/bare metal/hosting; AI/ML platforms are optional infrastructure offerings, not a single AI system product under typical procurement framing.

Vendor: PCI DSS 4.0 scoped to physical security at named DCs (AMS-01, FRA-01, LON-01, SIN-01, WDC-02, MTL-01/02/03). Services are not meant to process card data by default.

Vendor asserts PCI DSS Level 1 certification for payment data hosting—confirm applicability to your architecture.

Vendor: EY statement for Leaseweb Netherlands B.V. at AMS-01 (physical security, IS policy, risk, resilience, incidents, service deployment). Not inherited by the customer.

Historical CISPE member listing and lobbyfacts affiliation. Current CISPE public register was not confirmed to contain a live Leaseweb service declaration in this pass.

Hosted Private Cloud (VMware on OVHcloud and related) holds SecNumCloud qualification; hosted in French sites (Roubaix, Gravelines, Strasbourg). Not all products are SecNumCloud-qualified.

Vendor lists HDS certification for healthcare data hosting options; confirm which products and locations are in scope.

Even with a Dutch contractor and NL Clause 8.3, the product menu includes US dedicated halls, us-01 object storage, and Leaseweb USA, Inc. Buyers with a residency ban must lock region and entity in the order, not rely on the brand name.

NL terms authorise EEA affiliates and other third parties as sub-processors, with the actual list on request. Known optional paths: Megaport plus AWS/GCP/Azure (Cloud Connect) and Acronis (Public Cloud backup row). Website marketing also uses US SaaS (outside the IaaS path).

ISO is claimed for listed IaaS services, not automatically for every SKU. SOC 2 is Canada colo. PCI is physical security only. Customers are not certified by association.

Docs: one public IPv4 on Public Cloud and VPS, extras not yet available. Elastic Compute is end of sale. Dedicated CPU cannot be upgraded without a new server.

US East/West datacentres and OVH US LLC mean CLOUD Act and US process risk apply to US-placed data and some contracts. EU-only deployment reduces this but buyers must enforce region and contracting path.

A major fire at SBG caused widespread customer outages. Treat multi-AZ/multi-region backup design as mandatory for critical data; do not rely on single-site assumptions.

ISO, SOC, HDS, SecNumCloud, and PCI claims do not automatically cover every SKU and location. Procurement should request the exact report for the services ordered.

Vendor documents unmetered traffic exceptions for Asia-Pacific (lower default bandwidth and monthly volume caps vs Europe/North America). Model egress and bandwidth options for APAC workloads.

Bare Metal, Public Cloud, Private Cloud, and Web Cloud under one brand can confuse account structure, IAM, and billing. Define landing-zone standards early.
