Legal basis: GDPR Art. 28, 30, 44 ff. · EDPB Recommendations 01/2020 (Schrems II).
More than a fine
Fines make headlines, but rarely balance sheets. They arrive late, selectively, and are negotiable. What US tools cost you sooner is the sum of lost tenders, suspicious enterprise clients, a growing audit backlog, personal liability for your management, and a tool that could be shut down tomorrow with a single executive order.
Procurement
Federal, state, and enterprise procurement now make "EU hosting" and "CLOUD Act-free" knockout criteria. A single US tool in your stack is enough for disqualification — without ever making the shortlist.

Trust & Churn
Since Schrems II, every serious procurement department checks the DPA annex. A US logo under "subprocessor" means a renewal negotiation — or a lost deal you never see as a lost deal.
73%
of GDPR-aware B2B buyers check subprocessors (Gartner, 2024)
Operational Burden
Every US tool requires its own Data Protection Impact Assessment, Standard Contractual Clauses, and a Transfer Impact Assessment. With every subprocessor change, the audit cycle restarts — usually unnoticed.
8–16 h
effort per tool and audit cycle, recurring
Management Liability
Under corporate governance law, those who ignore the state of the art are liable with personal assets, not the company treasury. D&O insurance regularly excludes GDPR intent and gross negligence.
Personal assets
of management in case of damage
Geopolitics
CLOUD Act, OFAC sanctions, a new Schrems ruling: when Washington pulls the plug, there is no transition period. Real precedent: in 2025, Microsoft blocked International Criminal Court accounts on US orders.

And when the authority does knock
Authorities in Germany investigate slowly but increasingly systematically. The expected value is lower than the headline, but the reach is not.

Operational Signals
Five operational signals that any DNS resolver or TLS handshake exposes. They show who's behind the domain — even when the brand promises something different.
Cookies the server sets on the very first visit, before anyone clicks a cookie banner.
Cryptographic signature of DNS responses. Prevents attackers from redirecting the domain to malicious servers.
Encrypts the connection between browser and website. The Certificate Authority (CA) guarantees the domain belongs to the stated owner.
Who actually owns the website's IP address. Shows the real hosting corporation, even if the contractual partner is different.
Hostname the IP points back to. Often reveals the actual hosting provider, even when the brand name suggests otherwise.
Eight pages: legal classification per tool, migration effort, prioritized roadmap. Ready to use in the boardroom or with your Data Protection Officer.
The DPO decides on DPAs, TIAs, and subprocessor approvals. With one click, they receive a compact summary of this scan, directly in their inbox.

The Sovereignty Scan evaluates publicly accessible signals (homepage and legal page HTML, DNS, MX, SPF, and ASN data) and compares them against our database of approximately 3,000 vendors. The mapping of tools to owners and jurisdictions is based on public sources (legal notices, privacy policies, Wappalyzer, RIPE/ARIN registrations) and is intended as a first indication at the time of evaluation, not a legally binding assessment.
The A–E grade is a risk indicator, not a GDPR compliance verdict. For a concrete GDPR assessment — especially regarding Data Processing Agreements (DPA), Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC), and Transfer Impact Assessments (TIA) — please consult your Data Protection Officer or external legal counsel. meetergo makes no claim as to whether a specific vendor can be used in a GDPR-compliant manner in any particular use case.
Correction & Response: If you are the domain owner, Data Protection Officer, or press office of the assessed domain and the signals shown here do not reflect your current tool configuration, we welcome corrections and will update the listing promptly after review.
