  • For the highest grade of security and privacy compliance requirements, we also offer Single Tenant Infrastructure


What is Data Residency?

Data Residency refers to the geographical location where your organization’s data is physically stored. When you use our platform, you can choose to have your data saved and processed in a specific country or region, such as the European Union, the United States, or Australia. This ensures your data doesn't leave the designated location, helping you meet specific organizational policies or user expectations with complete confidence.


What is Data Sovereignty?

Data Sovereignty is a related but distinct concept that builds on Data Residency. It means your data is not only stored in a specific location but is also subject to the laws and legal jurisdiction of that country. For example, if your data resides in Germany, it is governed by German and EU privacy laws. This gives you ultimate control, ensuring your data is protected under a legal framework you trust and is not accessible by foreign governments or entities.


Who is Data Residency/Sovereignty ideal for?

These features are essential for organizations that operate in regulated industries or have customers with strict data handling requirements. This often includes organizations in government, defence, finance, and healthcare, where compliance with local data protection laws like GDPR or CCPA is mandatory.
