We operate our own infrastructure across four EU regions — on hardware we own, with personnel under European employment, governed by European law. Customer data never touches AWS, Azure or GCP. That's not a marketing claim. It's an engineering decision with operational consequences.
Marketing pages claim "European data residency" everywhere. Look at where the infrastructure actually runs and you'll find the same three or four hyperscalers underneath, no matter what the website says.
A European-headquartered cybersecurity vendor running on AWS Frankfurt is still subject to the US CLOUD Act. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google must comply with US legal process — including subpoenas and gag orders that prevent them from telling the customer.
The data may be stored in Frankfurt. The legal jurisdiction over it is American. Those are different things.
We made the harder choice: own physical infrastructure in EU colocation facilities, owned by European entities, operated by European staff under European employment law, contracts governed exclusively by EU jurisdiction.
When US authorities ask AWS for European customer data, AWS has to respond. When they ask us, we have nothing to hand over — because we're not under their jurisdiction.
Production sites operating today. Each region has its own network capacity, power and cooling redundancy, and legal entity under local jurisdiction.
Our primary German site — direct peering at DE-CIX (the world's largest internet exchange). Optimal for DACH customers requiring German jurisdiction and shortest network paths to German enterprise networks.
Our headquarters jurisdiction. Direct peering at INEX. Optimal for customers requiring common-law contracts in English, Irish corporate jurisdiction, and direct network paths to Ireland's significant tech and financial sectors.
Atlantic-facing capacity for Iberian customers and southern European routing. Strong submarine cable connectivity to Latin America makes this the optimal site for customers with cross-Atlantic requirements that must stay outside US jurisdiction.
Eastern Mediterranean site for customers in southeastern Europe and the Middle East periphery. Houses our Identiqa IP entity. Sub-millisecond connectivity to regional financial hubs and submarine cable access toward MEA markets.
These are the constraints we run our infrastructure under. They aren't aspirations or roadmap items — they're operational rules with no exceptions.
Not for inference. Not for storage. Not for backups. Not for monitoring. Not for "non-sensitive" workloads. Every system that touches customer data runs on hardware we own in EU colocation facilities — never AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud, or any other US-headquartered hyperscaler.
Engineers, SRE staff, and security operators with production access are employed by EU entities under EU employment law, are EU residents, and are background-checked. Non-EU contractors may contribute to development environments — never to production systems holding customer data.
Standard deployments are multi-tenant on shared infrastructure. For financial institutions, government bodies, KRITIS operators, and similar customers, dedicated single-tenant clusters are available — your infrastructure, your hardware, isolated network paths, documented separately for compliance evidence.
Every administrative action — data access, configuration change, deployment, incident response — is logged immutably with operator identity, timestamp, action, and justification. Customers can request audit reports specific to their tenant on demand or scheduled monthly to compliance teams.
For customers with hard data-residency requirements, traffic and storage can be locked to a specific region or even a single facility — enforced at the network and storage layers, not just at the application layer. Documented configuration is provided as compliance evidence, not as a marketing claim.
Our infrastructure setup is designed to provide direct compliance evidence for the frameworks your auditors and regulators reference.
Directly supports the cyber hygiene, supply-chain security, and incident reporting requirements for essential and important entities under NIS2.
Operational resilience and ICT third-party risk management requirements for EU financial services. Our sovereign infrastructure simplifies third-party risk assessment significantly.
Data residency, controller/processor obligations, and Article 28 processing agreements all supported with EU-only data flows and EU-jurisdiction contracts.
Information security management system aligned with ISO 27001 controls. Audit reports available under NDA for customer compliance reviews.
German Federal Office for Information Security cloud computing compliance criteria — directly relevant for German federal and state government customers.
European Code of Conduct for Cloud Service Providers supporting GDPR Article 40 compliance attestations for cloud services in the EU.
Service organization controls audit covering security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy — useful for US-headquartered customers operating in EU.
National Electronic Security Authority Information Assurance Standards — relevant for our planned UAE expansion and Gulf-region customer engagements.
Our compliance and infrastructure teams run technical deep-dives covering data flow architecture, jurisdictional analysis, single-tenant deployment options, and direct evidence for your specific regulatory framework. Typically 60-90 minutes, NDA, no marketing.
