Low-code application development platform for custom business apps.

Three months on, Zoho is still selling the HDS certification rather than shipping past it.

◆Current state
The feed's only current item is an August explainer of the HDS (Hebergeur de Donnees de Sante) certification Zoho Creator earned in May, walking through what the certificate covers: physical sites, hardware, virtual infrastructure, the application platform and system operations, all on Zoho-owned EU data centres. It makes a point of contrasting that scope with vendor certificates covering only part of the stack. Behind those two entries the feed drops to 2025 and earlier marketing and analyst content.
◆Where it's heading
Zoho is working the certification as a sales asset rather than following it with product news — the May announcement and the August explainer are the same fact addressed to two audiences, the second aimed at French healthcare buyers evaluating scope of coverage. Sovereign EU infrastructure remains the lever being pressed, and the full-stack framing is aimed squarely at competitors whose certification stops at the hosting layer. Release cadence for Creator itself is not readable here at all.
◆Prediction
Expect further jurisdiction- and vertical-specific attestations on the same EU stack, and continued explainer content mining existing certifications; actual feature news appears to be published somewhere other than this blog.

    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.
