SearchStax, the AI-Powered Search Experience Company, has announced the availability of its Managed Search service for European Union Data Sovereignty in partnership with Google Cloud Data Boundary. This expansion allows EU customers to leverage a fully managed Apache Solr service that ensures data, infrastructure, and primary support operations remain within EU borders, directly addressing the stringent requirements of GDPR and the European Data Act.
SearchStax integrates with Google Cloud Data Boundary for EU data sovereignty.
The service ensures data and infrastructure reside entirely within EU jurisdictions.
Primary support operations are handled by personnel located in the European Union.
It helps customers comply with GDPR and the EU Data Act without slowing innovation.
The solution removes the complexity and high cost of self-managed Solr infrastructure.
It provides a compliant foundation for regulated industries like finance and healthcare.
With GDPR enforcement accelerating and the introduction of the EU Data Act, regulators and corporate boards are demanding stricter control over data residency and access. SearchStax's new offering removes the operational overhead of do-it-yourself Solr management while giving EU customers the critical assurance that their search infrastructure adheres to digital sovereignty requirements. This allows businesses to maintain compliance without sacrificing the ability to innovate and scale their search capabilities.
The integration with Google Cloud Data Boundary provides the foundational guardrails for compliance. This capability ensures that customer data remains resident in designated Google Cloud EU regions and restricts operational access to support personnel based within the EU. Customers adopting this service gain three critical assurances: that their Solr data stays inside EU borders, that primary support is handled by in-region personnel, and that all controls are designed to be compliance-ready for strict regulatory standards.
Sameer Maggon, CEO of SearchStax, emphasized the necessity for actionable solutions, stating, “Europe’s digital sovereignty movement demands more than promises — it demands action. SearchStax integrates Managed Search with Google Cloud Data Boundary so EU customers can gain a secure, compliant foundation to innovate faster, scale confidently, and compete in a sovereignty-first world.” Matt Driscoll, director of product management at Google Cloud, added, “With SearchStax Managed Search on Google Cloud Data Boundary, customers can keep Solr deployments inside EU borders and gain the controls needed to meet strict regulatory standards.”
This launch represents a significant step in simplifying compliance for enterprises operating in Europe. By offering a fully managed search service that inherently respects data sovereignty, SearchStax enables organizations in regulated sectors to deploy powerful search experiences with confidence, ensuring they meet legal obligations while focusing on core business innovation.
