Where your content lives is now a board-level question
GDPR, NIS2, DORA, and the EU AI Act have turned content infrastructure into a compliance decision for organisations operating under EU law. For insurers, banks, public bodies, telcos, and other regulated industries, the question is no longer only “is the platform secure,” it is “which jurisdiction governs our data, and who can compel access to it."
The CMS built for regulated industries
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Is CoreMedia a GDPR-compliant CMS?
Yes. CoreMedia is a GDPR-compliant CMS with EU data residency, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, role-based access, approval workflows, and audit trails. Compliance is a shared responsibility, and these controls give your team a defensible foundation. Hosting in an EU region, private cloud, or on-premises keeps your content under European law.
Is CoreMedia a European company?
Yes. CoreMedia is headquartered in Hamburg (Germany), with offices in Porto (Portugal), London (UK), and Arlington (VA, US). Founded in 1996, the platform is developed in Europe, and customers work with a European operating entity.
Can I keep my content hosted in the EU?
Yes. CoreMedia can be hosted in EU regions so that your content is stored and processed within Europe. For tighter requirements, you can run it in a private cloud, or partially or fully on-premise, depending on what each workload requires.
Can CoreMedia run on-premise or in a private cloud?
Yes. Alongside CoreMedia-managed hosting, the platform supports private cloud and on-premise deployment, as well as hybrid setups where sensitive workloads stay inside your own infrastructure.
What hosting options does CoreMedia’s enterprise CMS offer?
CoreMedia supports managed cloud hosting running on AWS infrastructure with EU data centers. Single-tenant environments are available, so your data is never sharing infrastructure with other customers. For organizations that need more control, CoreMedia can be deployed in a private cloud on infrastructure of your choice, fully or partially on-premise, or in a hybrid setup where workloads split across environments based on compliance or operational requirements. CoreMedia is cloud agnostic and does not require a specific cloud provider or region. For EU-only deployments, no data is stored outside the European Union.
Which European agencies can implement or host an enterprise CMS in a private cloud or on-premise environment?
CoreMedia works with a network of certified European implementation partners who support private cloud and on-premise deployments. For private cloud hosting, partners including init, CONET, IBM iX, and Arvato Systems have experience running CoreMedia in managed environments for regulated and public sector clients. Your CoreMedia contact can recommend the right partner based on your region, industry, and hosting requirements.
How does CoreMedia support GDPR compliance?
CoreMedia provides the controls that GDPR programs depend on: EU data residency options, role-based access, approval workflows, audit trails, ISO 27001 certification, and SOC 2 aligned security. Compliance is a shared responsibility, and these capabilities give your team a defensible foundation to build on.
If our CMS vendor is a US company, can American authorities demand our data even when it is hosted in the EU?
The exposure most enterprises worry about comes from running content on infrastructure controlled by a non-EU entity. CoreMedia lets you reduce that exposure by hosting in an EU region, a private cloud, or on-premise, on infrastructure you control, working with a European operating entity. Your legal team should review your specific deployment against current case law.
How does CoreMedia handle the EU AI Act?
CoreMedia KIO, the platform’s AI copilot, is built around human oversight. Every suggestion requires editor approval and operates inside your existing roles and permissions, with no autonomous publishing. That keeps a human accountable for AI-assisted content, which is central to the EU AI Act.
Does CoreMedia's AI process content on EU infrastructure?
CoreMedia KIO, the platform's built-in AI copilot, is model-agnostic. Organizations can configure it to use EU-based or on-premise AI models, which means AI processing can stay within the same infrastructure perimeter as your content. For regulated environments where AI inference is subject to the same data handling requirements as content storage, this gives your legal and compliance teams the same answers for AI as for the rest of the platform.
