Customers Extend Enterprise Search Capabilities to Meet GDPR and the European Data Act With EU Data Boundaries and EU-Based Support

LOS ANGELES: #ApacheSolr--SearchStax, Inc., the AI-Powered Search Experience Company, today announced the availability of SearchStax Managed Search for European Union (EU) Data Sovereignty with Google Cloud Data Boundary, expanding its fully managed Apache Solr service to address Europe’s most urgent compliance and security needs.

Expanding Managed Search for Europe’s Compliance Era

SearchStax Managed Search Service combines automation, reliability and security to help customers scale on demand and meet compliance requirements. By removing the operational burden of self-service Solr, customers gain built-in compliance and operational agility to accelerate delivery and focus on innovation instead of maintenance.

With GDPR enforcement accelerating and the EU Data Act, regulators and boards demand stricter control over where data resides and who can access it. SearchStax removes the overhead of do-it-yourself (DIY) Solr and gives EU customers the assurance that their data, infrastructure and support remain inside EU borders, meeting sovereignty requirements without slowing innovation.

“Europe’s digital sovereignty movement demands more than promises - it demands action,” said Sameer Maggon, CEO of SearchStax. “SearchStax Managed Search Service removes the burden of self-managed Solr infrastructure and delivers the required reliability, on-demand scale, and regulatory compliance customers demand. 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.”

Sovereignty Without Complexity

SearchStax Managed Search with Google Cloud Data Boundary enables customers to run fully managed Solr search in EU regions, removing DIY complexity and helping to ensure compliance with EU data sovereignty requirements. Until now, companies were forced to either manage Solr themselves at a high cost and risk or rely on global deployments that could not guarantee sovereignty.

Google Cloud Data Boundary provides the compliance guardrails that can keep data resident in EU regions and restrict operational access to EU-based personnel, giving customers a trusted foundation for meeting GDPR, the EU Data Act, and other digital sovereignty requirements.

With this capability, customers gain on-demand scalability, operational transparency, and the assurance needed to support regulated industries, from financial services to healthcare to government.

Customers adopting Managed Search for EU Data Sovereignty with Google Cloud Data Boundary gain three critical assurances:

• Data stays inside EU borders. Solr infrastructure deployed in Google Cloud EU regions under EU jurisdiction.
• Support remains in-region. Primary support operations can be handled by personnel located in the European Union.
• Controls are compliance-ready. Enforce data residency, personnel, and access controls within the EU.

“Data sovereignty has become a business priority for European customers,” said Matt Driscoll, director of product management, Google Cloud. “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.”

SearchStax Managed Search for EU Data Sovereignty with Google Cloud Data Boundary is available 13 November 2025 across supported EU regions. Customers can learn more at www.searchstax.com.
