It is no small thing to set up a data hosting centre and review facility, which is why there are relatively few of them. That should be done in-country or, in most cases, in another EU country. Only then can one start working sensibly towards explaining the problem to the US court or regulator.
The first step in dealing with PII is to find it before assessing its relevance to the US discovery demands.

The solution lies at three levels: first, a level of understanding as to the implications of this second, informed assistance from people who understand the implications on how to deal with them and third (but not least) the ability to host data within the EU and to review it here. The problem, when viewed from a US perspective, is the restrictions on Personally Identifiable Information (PII). We are not usually talking of a blanket ban on the movement of all data. The world has moved on since then, and there is a better understanding in the US about the scope and effect of the data protection and privacy laws of the EU and, increasingly, in other jurisdictions.
When I first started talking about it in the US about seven years ago, I was met with disbelief at the idea that people in non-US jurisdictions would decline to obey a discovery order from a US court.
