The public sector has tougher requirements than most: personal data, confidentiality and growing concern about American cloud services after the CLOUD Act. The tools here are doubly screened: the supplier is based in Sweden or the EU/EEA, and data is stored within the EU. It is no guarantee that they meet your specific procurement requirements, but it is a reasonable first screening. Always check against your own information security and procurement requirements before you put anything into production.
