The EU has created a tool that allows administrators and IT companies to evaluate the level of digital sovereignity of cloud service providers and their services:
We can expect that this will be heavily used additional to other compliance parameters like SOC2 especially for IT services from the public administration but not limited to that.
In the EU there is a ground breaking and fundamental move to steer away from US providers and US services. We just saw a huge Microsoft deal got declined after massive protest and public demand for digital sovereignity.
This put Storj as a US company into a weaker position compared to EU cloud storage providers. However some unique features of Storj might still postition it as n interesting provider even after evaluation based on that framework.
What comes into my mind are features like encryption where no 3rd party can access the key (bad for Storj managed though), geo-fencing to various regions, open source, strong resilience against blocking or interruption (requests), options to run it fully or partly independently from the Storj company.
I think these could be great advantages compared to (some) competitors especially other non EU based ones and Storj might be able to benefit from them.
