| OpenAI | ✓ | ✓ | Yes (DPA available) | EU data residency requires Enterprise |
| Anthropic | ✓ | ✓ | Yes | EU data residency available; Bedrock for AWS regions |
| Google (Gemini API) | ✓ | ✓ | Yes | Vertex AI offers most regions; Gemini API less granular |
| Mistral | ✓ | − | Yes | EU-first; the default for European compliance |
| Cohere | ✓ | ✓ | Yes | Bedrock + Azure deployments cover more regions |
| AWS Bedrock | ✓ | ✓ | Yes | Most flexible regional control via AWS infrastructure |
| Azure OpenAI | ✓ | ✓ | Yes | GPT models with Azure regional control + EU Data Boundary |
Always verify: compliance posture changes. Get the latest DPA + SOC 2 report directly from each vendor before signing. EU-region deployment doesn’t guarantee EU-only data flow — check the model’s own routing.
