Establish Digital Sovereignty for Healthcare Data

Storing patient data outside the EU exposes it to foreign laws like the CLOUD Act. Our platform guarantees 100% of your data stays within certified European data centers. This provides the legal certainty required under both GDPR and the German BDSG.

We enforce this with country-level geofencing, restricting data access to predefined regions. This ensures you meet strict data residency rules for over 450 million EU citizens. This approach eliminates the primary risk of non-EU data exposure.

Our commitment aligns with initiatives like Gaia-X, which aim to build a federated data infrastructure based on EU values. This ensures your compliance strategy is built on a sovereign foundation. This focus on jurisdictional control is the first step toward a resilient data protection strategy.

Leverage a Resilient, Always-Hot Architecture

Complex storage tiers create risk, introducing restore delays of hours or even days. Our “Always-Hot” object storage model ensures all data is immediately accessible 100% of the time. This simplifies operations and supports the 3-second access times modern applications demand.

This architecture is built for consistency with multi-AZ replication, eliminating single points of failure. It provides strong read/write consistency for millions of objects, crucial for mixed workloads. Predictable low latencies are guaranteed through our EU-only data centers.

Full S3-API compatibility protects your existing investments in tools and scripts. Your applications keep running with zero code rewrites, minimizing migration risk by 100%. This seamless integration is key to maintaining business continuity while upgrading your data security posture.

Implement Advanced Ransomware Protection

Ransomware remains a top threat, with attacks increasing by over 70% in the last year. Our secure object storage includes Immutable Storage with S3 Object Lock. This feature makes your backup data unchangeable for its entire retention period.

This technology is a cornerstone of a modern 3-2-1 or 4-2-2 backup strategy. It creates a verifiable, audit-ready copy of your data that cannot be encrypted by attackers. Follow these steps to enable it:

1. Create a new storage bucket in the Impossible Cloud console.
2. Enable versioning, a prerequisite for Object Lock, with a single click.
3. Activate Object Lock during bucket creation to enforce immutability.
4. Set a default retention period (e.g., 30 days) for all objects in the bucket.
5. Use a leading backup tool like NovaBackup for seamless integration.

Immutable backups render ransomware attacks on your archives ineffective. This proactive defense ensures you can restore clean data within minutes, not weeks. This capability is essential for meeting the business continuity requirements of the NIS-2 directive.

Enforce Granular Access and Governance

HIPAA requires strict controls over who can access electronic PHI. Our platform provides identity-based IAM with granular, role-driven policies (RBAC). You can grant permissions for specific actions on a per-user or per-group basis with over 50 unique policy options.

We support secure defaults and multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all accounts. Integration with external identity providers via SAML/OIDC is supported for 100% of enterprise users. This allows you to map security policies to your existing organizational structure.

The entire system is managed through a first-class console UX or automated via API/CLI. You can manage buckets, assign roles, and monitor activity for thousands of users without deep API expertise. This control is vital for maintaining a complete audit trail for ISO 27001 certification.

Prepare for Upcoming EU Regulations

The regulatory landscape is evolving with at least 2 major new laws in 2025. The EU Data Act, effective from September 2025, mandates data portability and interoperability. Our use of open standards and the S3 API ensures you have a real exit path with zero lock-in.

The NIS-2 directive requires continuous security processes and supply-chain assurance for critical entities. Our platform bakes these principles into its core operations, including:

• Continuous vulnerability management and patching across 100% of our infrastructure.
• Documented incident reporting timelines that meet the 24-hour initial notification window.
• A secure development lifecycle for all platform components.
• Transparent security processes that support supply-chain audits.

Our platform is designed to meet these future requirements today. This proactive stance on regulatory readiness gives you a competitive advantage. It prepares your infrastructure for the next wave of compliance demands.

Achieve Predictable Economics for MSPs and Enterprises

Hidden fees from hyperscalers can increase cloud storage bills by over 60%. We offer a transparent economic model with zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage durations. This provides predictable margins for MSPs offering Backup-as-a-Service.

Our partner-ready console features multi-tenant management, RBAC, and detailed reporting. Onboarding takes less than 24 hours, supported by our growing distributor network. This includes partners like api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK.

This predictable-by-design model allows for accurate budget planning with 0% cost surprises. Guaranteed service levels and low-latency regional data centers provide the reliability businesses need. This financial clarity is the final piece of a truly sovereign cloud storage strategy.
