Are Monitoring tools from EU companies GDPR-compliant?
EU-headquartered Monitoring providers are subject to the GDPR by default. The Monitoring startups on this page are based from Bulgaria, Czech Republic, and Germany; whether a given company is outside the US CLOUD Act depends on its ownership and hosting, which EU Alts checks per listing.
How do I switch to a GDPR-compliant Monitoring alternative?
Start by identifying which EU-based Monitoring tools match your feature requirements from the list above. Most EU providers offer free trials and data migration guides to help you move from US-based incumbents. For a Monitoring switch specifically, check what data export formats your current tool supports and whether the EU alternative offers an importer.
What is the best GDPR-compliant uptime monitoring tool?
For GDPR-compliant uptime monitoring, you need a provider that is EU-headquartered and stores availability and performance data on EU-owned servers. EU-based uptime and infrastructure monitoring tools cannot be compelled to share your operational metrics under the US CLOUD Act — unlike US providers such as Datadog or New Relic. All monitoring providers listed on this page store uptime checks, alerting data, and performance metrics within EU jurisdiction.
What is GDPR uptime monitoring?
GDPR uptime monitoring means using an uptime and availability monitoring tool that processes and stores operational data — ping results, response times, incident alerts, and on-call logs — on infrastructure that is both EU-hosted and owned by an EU-headquartered company. This matters because monitoring tools can capture IP addresses, URL paths, and response payloads that qualify as personal data under GDPR Article 4. Storing this data with a US provider such as Datadog or PagerDuty subjects it to the CLOUD Act. Genuine GDPR uptime monitoring requires a provider entirely outside US jurisdiction — the tools listed on this page meet that standard.
