CDN · Reviewed 2026-09-11

US-incorporated (Cloudflare, Inc.); the Data Localization Suite is a meaningful mitigation on the data-location + processing dimensions, but the parent-jurisdiction fact is unchanged and the CLOUD Act still reaches the entity. Overall red by the "worst dimension wins" rule.

Note Cloudflare's Data Localization Suite is an amber-worthy mitigation for the data-location dimension but does not change the entity-control fundamental. Include the Suite pricing in any recommendation to a buyer who ends up here.
