Embrace Digital Sovereignty in Your BaaS Strategy

True data sovereignty has become a strategic imperative for over 87% of European IT decision-makers. Storing data in an EU data center is not enough; if the provider is headquartered outside the EU, your data can still be subject to foreign laws like the CLOUD Act. A sovereign-by-design approach to Backup as a Service ensures data is governed exclusively by EU law, a critical distinction for maintaining GDPR compliance. This eliminates legal exposure and builds trust across your entire value chain.

Impossible Cloud operates exclusively in certified European data centers, offering country-level geofencing to guarantee data residency. This architecture provides the EU legal certainty required for regulated workloads in sectors like finance and healthcare. By choosing a truly European cloud, you align your cloud backup strategy with a future shaped by resilience and choice, turning a complex compliance challenge into a competitive advantage. This foundation of sovereignty is the first step toward a modern data protection plan.

Eliminate Unpredictable Costs and Boost Profitability

Vendor lock-in, driven by complex pricing and punitive egress fees, is a major pain point for 8 out of 10 cloud customers. These exit fees, which can have profit margins as high as 8000%, create unpredictable operational costs and discourage multi-cloud strategies. The EU Data Act aims to ban these charges by 2027, but businesses need a solution now. A transparent pricing model is essential for any modern Backup as a Service offering.

Our platform is predictable by design, with a clear model that includes:

• Zero egress fees: Move data freely without financial penalties.
• No API call costs: Automate and integrate without worrying about hidden charges.
• No minimum storage duration: Pay only for what you use, for as long as you need it.

This approach provides the economic clarity that over 60% of enterprises demand, allowing MSPs to build services with stable, defensible margins. With predictable costs, you can focus on delivering value instead of auditing surprising bills from your cloud storage provider.

Achieve Enterprise-Ready Resilience and Ransomware Protection

Ransomware attacks in Europe are projected to exceed 1,746 incidents in 2025, an all-time high. A robust Backup as a Service solution must therefore provide more than just storage; it must deliver comprehensive protection. Our architecture is built for consistency and availability, eliminating single points of failure to protect your data. We offer an “Always-Hot” object storage model, ensuring all data is immediately accessible without the restore delays or API timeouts common with tiered systems.

Key features for enterprise-grade resilience include:

1. Immutable Storage: Use S3 Object Lock to make backups unchangeable and undeletable for a set period, providing a powerful defense against ransomware.
2. Full S3 API Compatibility: Protect your investments in existing tools and scripts, as our platform works seamlessly with leading backup software like Veeam and NovaBackup.
3. Multi-Layer Encryption: Data is secured both in transit and at rest, with EU-controlled key management.
4. Granular Access Control: Implement strong security postures with IAM, MFA, RBAC, and support for SAML/OIDC.

This focus on resilience ensures you can meet your disaster recovery objectives and restore operations with confidence.

Navigate 2025 EU Regulations with a Compliant-by-Design Platform

Two major EU regulations are reshaping data governance in 2025, making compliance a core requirement for any Backup as a Service provider. The EU Data Act, applicable from September 12, 2025, mandates data portability and interoperability to prevent vendor lock-in. Our platform is designed for this, with open standards and exportable formats that ensure you have a real exit path. This preserves your long-term freedom and negotiation power.

Simultaneously, the NIS-2 Directive requires enhanced cybersecurity measures, including robust backup management and supply-chain assurance, with potential fines of up to €10 million for non-compliance. Our platform helps you meet these stringent requirements through continuous security processes and immutable backups. By building your BaaS on a foundation that is already aligned with these regulations, you reduce risk and demonstrate a proactive approach to cybersecurity and compliance.

Leverage a Partner-Ready Platform Built for MSP Growth

The European managed services market is projected to reach USD 255.94 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 13.0%. To capture this opportunity, MSPs need a platform that is not just technically sound but also commercially enabling. Our partner-ready console is designed for MSPs, featuring multi-tenant management, RBAC, and detailed reporting to simplify operations. Automation via a full-featured API and CLI allows for seamless integration into your existing service delivery workflows.

We are committed to expanding local access for our partners across Europe. Recent distribution agreements with api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK provide resellers and MSPs with dedicated local support and streamlined onboarding. This growing ecosystem, combined with our predictable pricing model, empowers you to build and scale a profitable MSP backup business. This partner-centric approach ensures you have the tools and support needed to succeed.

Implement a Sovereign 3-2-1 Backup Strategy Today

Adopting a modern, sovereign backup strategy is a practical way to enhance data protection. The classic 3-2-1 rule (three copies of data, on two different media, with one offsite) remains a vital framework. An S3-compatible, EU-sovereign cloud provider offers the ideal offsite target for your Backup as a Service offering. Organizations using S3 for backup have been shown to reduce recovery times by up to 50%.

Here are the steps to implement this strategy with an EU-sovereign cloud:

• Step 1: Identify Critical Data: Determine which data requires backup and define your recovery point objectives (RPOs).
• Step 2: Configure Your Backup Tool: Use any S3-compatible software to point to your new EU-sovereign storage endpoint.
• Step 3: Enable Immutability: Activate S3 Object Lock on your backup buckets to protect against ransomware.
• Step 4: Automate and Test: Schedule regular automated backups and perform test restores to validate your disaster recovery plan.
