ZealiD published a June 2026 blog post stating that the Swedish Armed Forces will not use Google, Amazon or Microsoft cloud services for classified information.

What happened
- The post reports that the Armed Forces' cloud strategy cites FISA and Cloud Act as laws giving US authorities rights to demand data from US companies regardless of server location.
- The post states that the government has tasked the Armed Forces, Säpo, FRA and FOI with sketching a Swedish cloud solution.
- The post says ZealiD operates its own infrastructure certified by TüViT and notified to the EU by PTS.
- The post claims all ZealiD data is stored and processed in its own EU data centres.
Why it matters to Signicat
- The post targets professional services firms (law, audit, advisory) with a sovereignty argument that overlaps Signicat's signing and identity verification offerings in Nordics and Benelux.
- The post frames US-controlled vendors as non-compliant with GDPR Article 32 without a regulator ruling cited; this is ZealiD's interpretation.
