OVHcloud vs TransIP

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

IaaS/hosting provider, not a no-logs VPN. Assurance is via ISMS certifications and responsible disclosure (Intigriti), not a public no-logs audit.

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.

Vendor publishes ISO 27001:2022 PDF (team-blue-nl-bv naming). Independent registry re-check not completed in this draft.

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

No clear TransIP product-level SOC 2/3 claim found on primary legal/security pages reviewed.

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

Dutch controller/processor entity; privacy policy and control-panel DPA. Residency depends on selected product/zone.

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.

EuropeanStack assessment: Dutch entity / no known US parent / NL-first hosting, but privacy names Google Analytics, reCAPTCHA, and PayPal, and OpenStack KB names Equinix colo. Not a vendor safety claim. Not legal advice.

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.

Processor agreement available to view/accept in the control panel per knowledge base.

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

Infrastructure hosting/registrar; not marketed as an AI system provider. Optional third-party AI assistant images on VPS are customer-chosen workloads.

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.

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

Vendor publishes NEN 7510:2017 certificate PDF; accounts processing medical data can be marked for extra handling per cert page.

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.

Brand is TransIP B.V.; certificates use team.blue NL B.V. Procurement should map the exact contracting entity, DPA signatory, and cert scope to the services purchased.

Privacy policy discloses Google Analytics, reCAPTCHA, and PayPal. These are not described as the VPS storage backend, but they affect overall vendor diligence and CLOUD Act style questionnaires.

OpenStack facility list includes Equinix AMS3 (US-parent colo operator). Workloads remain in Amsterdam physically; treat as partial EU-hosted diligence, not AWS-region hosting.

No broad multi-continent region map or hyperscaler-class managed database suite on the pages reviewed. Teams needing those should plan self-managed stacks or another cloud.

Diligence relies on privacy policy, product pages, and DPA rather than a dedicated exhaustive subprocessor HTML table. Request an up-to-date schedule under NDA if required.
