EXECUTIVE BRIEF

Moving to Cloud CRM: Regulatory Compliance and CCM Platform Selection in Europe

CCM platform selection is now a compliance decision, not an IT one.

A CRM migration in a regulated European industry triggers obligations most vendor evaluations are not built to catch. DORA names the CCM platform in ICT resilience documentation. The AI Act requires audit trails for every communication AI touches. BDSG, SecNumCloud, and ARERA add jurisdiction-specific layers that standard SaaS contracts rarely cover. A platform selected on functionality and price can fail on sovereignty or auditability within months of go-live.

BaFin, CNIL, ANSSI, and ACN are not theoretical risks. They have published expectations and they apply to your vendors too.

  • Why DORA and the AI Act have changed CCM platform evaluation criteria and what no longer holds
  • Which documentation obligations fall on the vendor: tested RTOs, AI audit trails, Article 28-aligned contracts
  • How BDSG, SecNumCloud, and ARERA go beyond GDPR in ways standard SaaS agreements miss
  • What to ask any vendor on sovereignty, ISO 27001:2022 scope, and data portability before signing
  • How to verify whether EU-resident CCM architecture actually qualifies — before the platform goes live
