Leaseweb vs Seeweb

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

IaaS/data-center provider—not a consumer no-logs VPN. Assurance is via ISO/ISMS and sector qualifications rather than a no-logs report.

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 certifications page: ISO/IEC 27001:2022, AXE REGISTER cert IT18-27702D, valid until 28 Nov 2027; locations Milan & Frosinone. Re-verify serial in procurement.

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.

No SOC 2/3 report advertised on the official certifications page at research time.

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

Italian controller/processor entity, European hosting messaging, privacy policy, ISO 27018 claim, CISPE; confirm DPA for your processing roles.

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.

Italian Seeweb S.r.l., Italian DHH parent, no known US parent; primary hosting on European DCs (not AWS/GCP/Azure). Third-party Swiss/BG facilities and global transit carriers exist. Indicative only—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).

Art. 28 DPA language used for Seeweb-operated services (e.g. published for Regolo); request current signed DPA + TOMs + subprocessors for core cloud/IaaS contracts.

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

Infrastructure/GPU provider and Rethic.AI partnership messaging; AI Act duties mainly fall on customer AI systems. Not a full provider high-risk AI assessment by EuropeanStack.

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: 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.

Vendor states CISPE registry presence and European data storage under the Code (since 31 May 2017 on certifications page).

Appendix to ISO 27001 certificate on certifications page; same validity window stated.

Appendix to ISO 27001 certificate on certifications page; same validity window stated.

IaaS qualification for Italian PA; QI2 infrastructure and QC2 for listed products including AI/supercomputing infrastructures (19 Jan 2023 on certifications page).

Stated for Virtual Private Cloud and Foundation Server PRO (6 July 2022 on certifications page).

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.

Region set is European (IT/CH/BG) with a mid-size operator catalog. Multi-continent apps or niche managed PaaS may force multi-cloud or a larger EU peer.

ISO and ACN claims include certificate numbers and dates on seeweb.it, but EuropeanStack did not re-download every registry PDF. Re-verify serials and scope statements in formal assurance reviews.

Facility partners and network carriers are described on DC pages, but a consolidated customer-content subprocessor list was not found as one public document. Request annex under NDA for regulated workloads.

Vendor documents ~2-minute notice before Spot termination when On-Demand needs capacity. Architect batch/checkpointing; do not run sole critical control planes only on Spot.

Lugano, Zurich, and Sofia are presented via partner facilities (Swisscom, Global Data Centers Switzerland AG, Evolink). Italy-only residency must be contracted explicitly if required.
