Hi there,
Thanks for downloading TrueNAS.
If you run infrastructure anywhere in the EU, three rules quietly moved from "proposal" to "in force" over the last year — and together they change where your data is allowed to live and who is accountable for it.
- NIS2 is now in national law across member states. In Germany it took effect in December 2025, expanding scope to tens of thousands of organizations, with incident-reporting clocks measured in hours and personal liability for senior management.
- The Data Act applies from September 2025, with cloud-switching rights and an egress-fee ban phasing in through 2027 — explicitly designed to end vendor lock-in.
- GDPR and the Schrems II ruling still mean that data sitting with a US-owned provider can be reachable under foreign law, no matter which region the datacentre is in.
The common thread: regulators now expect you to control where regulated data lives, who can access it, and how you'd prove integrity and continuity — on infrastructure you actually govern.
That raises an uncomfortable question: is your current storage a decision you still control, or one your vendor and your jurisdiction control for you?
Over the next few emails we'll break down what this convergence means — and why the hardware market is making the timing of that decision matter more than teams expect.
