It is fairly simple. US law and regulations stipulates Azure can never secure your data from US agencies, no matter what Microsoft writes.
They can not even tell you your data was requested and handed over.
I'm not implying US bad, rest of the planet good. Just, no, US companies have to comply with their jurisdiction's regulation, and that means, they demand, we give, without telling you.

What would be an alternative? Dedicated server provided by some cloud provider in Europe? Any recommendation?
I think I need to generalize and improve the blog post to include better content is what everyone is saying. I will do that and post a better version of the blog soon.

Dutch + secure + azure = oxymoron
Now that the US is a hostile nation as seen from europe trying to do anything 'securely' on azure is an utter waste of time and resources.

So Dutch healthcare is being implemented in India ... great news.

Nop, it's not, just a consultation on how to approach some technical challenges. It's always good to have a technical expert be your side for some challenging technical work!

Is there any shortage of such experts in the Netherlands? Isn't this just asking for so many problems? For instance, this makes GPDR violation extremely likely, doesn't it?
