Establish Digital Sovereignty for UK Data

A majority of EU decision-makers now demand European solutions for critical data infrastructure. For UK businesses, ensuring a UK data residency solution is the first step toward digital sovereignty. Storing backup data exclusively in certified European data centres provides robust protection under UK law. This strategy directly mitigates risks associated with the US CLOUD Act, which can compel US-based providers to surrender data regardless of where it is stored. Geofenced storage guarantees that your data remains within a predefined region under EU rules. Impossible Cloud operates exclusively in European data centres, offering country-level geofencing to provide UK firms with the highest level of legal certainty. This approach ensures that your most critical asset-your data-is governed by a predictable legal framework.

Architect for Resilience and Ransomware Defence

Ransomware attacks continue to grow in sophistication, making immutable backups a cornerstone of any modern defence strategy. Using immutable storage with Object Lock makes backup data unchangeable and undeletable for a specified period. This simple feature provides a powerful defence, ensuring a clean recovery point is always available. Our architecture eliminates single points of failure and provides multi-layer encryption for data both in transit and at rest. We also employ an "Always-Hot" object storage model, meaning all data is immediately accessible without the delays or surprise fees associated with restoring from archived tiers. This model reduces operational complexity by over 30% for many IT teams. This focus on resilience is critical for maintaining business continuity.

Drive Cost Predictability and Eliminate Lock-In

Many businesses feel locked into their cloud providers due to complex pricing and punitive fees. A significant share of IT leaders rank cost transparency as a top selection criterion for new services. We address this directly with a transparent economic model: zero egress fees, zero API call costs, and no minimum storage durations. This approach provides the predictability needed for effective financial planning and removes the fear of bill shock when restoring data. For Managed Service Providers (MSPs), this model allows for the creation of profitable, fixed-price backup-as-a-service (BaaS) offerings with defensible margins. Predictable costs are a key enabler for any long-term cloud backup strategy.

Meet 2025 EU Regulatory Demands Today

For UK companies doing business in Europe, upcoming UK regulations introduce stringent new requirements. Being prepared is a competitive advantage. Our platform is designed to align with these future standards now, ensuring you remain compliant without costly re-architecting. Key regulations include:

• EU Data Act (from September 2025): This mandates data portability and interoperability, including metadata and versions. Our S3-compatible architecture ensures you have a real exit path, preventing vendor lock-in.
• UK NIS Regulations: This requires continuous security processes, supply-chain assurance, and strict incident reporting timelines. Our operations incorporate these principles by design, not as an afterthought.

This proactive stance on compliance simplifies governance for your cyber essentials planning.

Ensure Seamless Integration and Enterprise-Ready Performance

A secure cloud backup solution must integrate flawlessly with existing tools to protect past investments. Full S3-API compatibility is essential, ensuring that your current applications, scripts, and backup software continue to work without modification. We provide out-of-the-box integrations with leading backup tools, including a notable collaboration with NovaBackup. Our architecture delivers strong read/write consistency and predictable latencies for millions of files. This enterprise-grade performance supports everything from simple archival to complex disaster recovery scenarios. The platform's robust identity and access management (IAM) features, including support for SAML/OIDC, map directly to real-world organisational structures. This ensures your migration to a sovereign cloud is smooth and secure.
