Our Foundation
Three principles. One mission.
This Is Cloud is built on the conviction that Europeans deserve a cloud platform that is legally, operationally, and technically independent from Big Tech.
Digital Sovereignty
Full control over your data, hosted exclusively within European jurisdiction. Compliant with GDPR by default and immune from extra-territorial laws like the US CLOUD Act.
Sustainability
Powered entirely by 100% renewable energy from Iceland — geothermal and hydroelectric. Natural cooling reduces energy consumption by up to 31% compared to conventional data centers.
Open Source
Built on a modular, transparent stack of open-source software. No vendor lock-in, no hidden agendas. Inspired by European initiatives like openDesk and the Sovereign Cloud Stack.
Integrated Suite
Everything you need. Nothing you don't control.
A fully integrated suite of productivity tools designed to replace iCloud, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365 — with a single login and unified experience.
Email & Groupware
Stalwart Mail Server
Modern, all-in-one mail server written in Rust. JMAP, IMAP, SMTP with built-in anti-spam, DKIM, DMARC, and encryption at rest.
File Sync & Share
Nextcloud Hub
The leading open-source content collaboration platform. Sync files across all your devices with end-to-end encryption.
Office Suite
Collabora Online
Full-featured online office suite integrated into Nextcloud. Real-time collaborative editing of documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
Calendar & Contacts
CalDAV / CardDAV
Seamlessly manage your schedule and contacts across all devices. Shared calendars, event scheduling, and rich contact management.
Password Manager
Vaultwarden
Self-hosted, Bitwarden-compatible password manager. Store, generate, and autofill credentials securely across all platforms.
VPN & Privacy
WireGuard
High-performance VPN service for private browsing and secure connections. Modern cryptography with minimal overhead.
Identity & SSO
Keycloak
Enterprise-grade identity and access management. Single Sign-On across all services with multi-factor authentication.
Video Conferencing
Nextcloud Talk
Secure, self-hosted video conferencing and team chat. Screen sharing, breakout rooms, and recording — all under your control.

Why Sovereignty Matters
Your data should serve you, not Big Tech.
European citizens and businesses deserve cloud infrastructure that respects their rights, protects their data, and operates transparently within their legal framework. This Is Cloud is that infrastructure.
GDPR by Design
Not retrofitted compliance — built from the ground up within European legal frameworks.
No CLOUD Act Exposure
Hosted in Iceland (EEA), outside the jurisdiction of US surveillance legislation.
Zero Data Mining
Your data is never scanned, profiled, or monetized. We sell services, not your information.
Full Portability
Open standards and open-source software mean you can always take your data and leave.
