Cloud Temple: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Cloud Temple is a French cloud provider focused on secure and regulated workloads for public bodies, healthcare, the financial sector and industry. Its offer includes virtual machines, an open-source IaaS, bare-metal servers, OpenShift PaaS and managed Kubernetes, complemented by block, object and backup storage. It also provides security services such as a Sovereign SOC and a managed key service backed by an HSM, managed databases (MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Kafka) and AI services with GPU instances and LLMaaS. Services are managed through a console with an API and a Terraform provider.

Cloud Temple is headquartered in France, in the Paris region, and is a subsidiary of the French IT services group Neurones. Its infrastructure is located in French data centres. The company holds the SecNumCloud qualification from the French cybersecurity agency ANSSI for its IaaS and OpenShift PaaS, and HDS certification for hosting health data, alongside ISO 27001. For European organisations that want to remain under French and European law, this is a provider without a non-European parent company.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Cloud Temple

Cloud Temple is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Cloud Temple scores best on data residency.

Cloud Temple 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 Cloud Temple together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
