CLOUD Act exposure
US authorities can compel non-EU providers to hand over data even when stored on EU servers — incompatible with strict data-sovereignty contracts.

Multiple EU DPAs have ruled that data transfer to the US violates GDPR Article 44 without further safeguards.
Procurement requirements
