Amazon Business (B2B): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Amazon Business is Amazon's purchasing platform for business customers. Organisations buy products and services through it, manage users and buying groups, set approval rules and track spending with standard and custom reports. It offers integrations with procurement and finance systems and payment options for companies. The service runs as software as a service within the Amazon stores and is available in countries including Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom.

Amazon Business is part of Amazon.com, Inc., headquartered in Seattle (US), and falls under US jurisdiction, including the CLOUD Act. The German landing page links to a privacy notice and cookie settings and names Amazon.com, Inc. or its subsidiaries as the provider; it does not state a GDPR commitment or where customer data is stored. European organisations that use Amazon Business share purchasing data, approval flows and spend analytics with a US group and should review the privacy notice and contract terms.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Amazon Business (B2B)

Amazon Business (B2B) is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Amazon Business (B2B) hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Amazon Business (B2B) is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Amazon Business (B2B) together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
