HDS certification opens French healthcare to Zoho Creator's EU stack

low-codecompliancedata-sovereigntyeu-data-centreshealthcarehds-certification
◆Current state
The only recent product-state signal for Zoho Creator is the HDS (Hébergeur de Données de Santé) certification announced May 22, running on Zoho-owned and -operated EU data centres. The rest of the visible feed is older marketing and analyst-relations content stretching back to 2019, making short-term release cadence hard to read from this surface alone.
◆Where it's heading
Zoho is leaning on its sovereign EU infrastructure as the competitive lever — owning and operating the data centres and stacking country-specific certifications that SaaS-only low-code competitors (Mendix, OutSystems, Microsoft Power Apps) cannot match cleanly. Outside this compliance push, the changelog provides almost no signal: an AI-plus-low-code marketing post from March 2025 is the most recent item besides the cert.
◆Prediction
Expect more jurisdiction-specific compliance certifications on the same EU-self-hosted stack — additional healthcare or public-sector attestations are the obvious next steps. The lack of release cadence visible in this feed suggests Creator's product news lives in a different channel; what surfaces here is likely to keep being market-access milestones rather than feature shipments.

    ⚡ SPARK

    Zoho Creator earned HDS certification, the French regulatory gate for hosting personal health data, on Zoho-owned EU data centres. It does not change the product's feature surface, but it does change the addressable market — Creator can now legally serve French healthcare workloads.

    A March 2025 marketing post on AI as a collaborator inside low-code development. Editorial content rather than a product release — included here because it is the only item between the HDS cert and 2022.
