IT Staffing Rome Tiburtina — multi-cloud

Data residency

No general residency requirement applies to private-sector processing beyond GDPR transfer rules. For public administration, cloud services and the underlying infrastructure must hold ACN qualification (QC1-QC4 for services, QI1-QI4 for infrastructure) with the level tied to data criticality under ACN Determinazione 307/2022; the most critical public-sector workloads are directed to the Polo Strategico Nazionale.

What shapes cloud procurement here

Selling cloud services into Italian public administration requires the service and its underlying infrastructure to carry ACN qualification at the level matching the criticality of the data, a process that moved from AgID to ACN in January 2023. Contracts, tender documents and much of day-to-day technical delivery are conducted in Italian. Milan concentrates AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI regions, so northern buyers have strong in-country options while central and southern organisations weigh latency and terrestrial connectivity when choosing between local and Frankfurt/Paris capacity.
