Strengthen Cloud Access Security with a Sovereign Brokerage Model
Enterprises now demand total control over their cloud data, but complex regulations and vendor lock-in create significant risk. A new approach to cloud access security broker solutions is required, one rooted in European data sovereignty. Discover a practical, enterprise-ready EU alternative that delivers compliance without compromise.
The topic briefly and concisely
True cloud access security in 2025 is defined by data sovereignty, requiring EU-based solutions that guarantee data residency and eliminate exposure to foreign laws like the CLOUD Act.
Immutable storage with S3 Object Lock is a non-negotiable defense against ransomware, providing a tamper-proof recovery point that aligns with GDPR's data availability requirements.
A predictable cost model with zero egress or API fees is critical for MSPs and enterprises, enabling stable margins and eliminating the surprise bills common with hyperscale providers.
In 2025, the conversation around cloud access security broker solutions has fundamentally shifted from perimeter defense to data-centric control. With 84% of European organizations prioritizing sovereign cloud solutions, the focus is now on ensuring data resides exclusively within EU jurisdiction, safe from foreign legal exposure like the CLOUD Act. This strategic shift requires solutions that are sovereign by design, offering granular access controls, guaranteed data residency, and predictable costs. Impossible Cloud provides an S3-compatible object storage platform built in certified European data centers, delivering a practical framework for digital sovereignty, ransomware resilience, and regulatory readiness for enterprises and MSPs.

What makes your pricing model predictable?
Our pricing is transparent and predictable because we have eliminated common hidden costs. We charge zero egress fees, zero API call costs, and have no minimum storage durations. You pay only for the storage you use, which allows for precise budgeting and provides stable, defensible margins for our MSP partners.
