Navigate the UK's New Data Sovereignty Landscape

Data sovereignty is now a strategic priority for over 70% of UK organisations. Post-Brexit, all data is governed by UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, mandating strict controls. Relying on providers headquartered overseas, even with local UK data centres, subjects your data to foreign laws. This jurisdictional conflict undermines genuine sovereignty and introduces compliance risks. The EU's current data adequacy decision for the UK expires on June 27, 2025, demanding a proactive strategy. Choosing a provider operating exclusively under UK law offers a stable, long-term solution. This approach ensures your data remains governed by a clear and predictable legal framework.

Eliminate US CLOUD Act Exposure in UK Operations

The 2018 US CLOUD Act compels US-based tech companies to disclose data to US authorities, regardless of where it is stored globally. This means data held in a London or Manchester data centre by a US provider is not protected from US jurisdiction. This extraterritorial reach creates a direct conflict with GDPR's strict data transfer rules. Using a 100% European-owned and operated cloud avoids this conflict entirely. Our sovereign-by-design architecture ensures your data never leaves predefined EU regions. This provides the legal certainty needed to protect UK business data. This design is the only way to guarantee immunity from foreign government data requests.

Achieve Predictable Cloud Economics Without Egress Fees

Many UK businesses feel locked into cloud providers due to complex pricing and punitive egress fees. Our transparent economic model eliminates these barriers with zero egress fees, no API call costs, and no minimum storage durations. This approach delivers up to 80% in total cost savings. Here is how this model benefits your bottom line:

• Predictable Margins: MSPs and resellers can build services with stable, defensible margins for backup and archiving.
• No Bill Shock: Your monthly costs are based purely on storage used, with no surprise fees for accessing your own data.
• Simplified Budgeting: A single, clear metric allows for accurate financial planning over a 3-year or 5-year horizon.
• Frictionless Migration: The absence of egress fees removes the financial penalty for moving data, giving you true freedom.

This predictable-by-design model aligns with the goals of the new EU Data Act, which seeks to prevent vendor lock-in. It empowers you to build a resilient and cost-effective sovereign cloud strategy. This financial clarity allows for better long-term infrastructure planning.

Future-Proof Infrastructure for the EU Data Act

The EU Data Act becomes fully applicable on September 12, 2025, and impacts UK firms handling EU data. It mandates data portability and interoperability to prevent vendor lock-in. Our platform is built on this principle, offering full S3 API compatibility to ensure your tools and scripts work without modification. This protects your past investments and minimises migration risk by over 90%. Our 'Always-Hot' architecture makes all data immediately accessible, avoiding the complex tiering that causes restore delays. This commitment to open standards provides a clear exit path, a core tenet of the new regulation. This ensures you always retain control of your UK data residency solutions. This readiness provides a distinct competitive advantage in a regulated market.

Meet UK NIS Regulations Cybersecurity Mandates Proactively

The UK NIS Regulations, effective October 2024, sets a new baseline for cybersecurity for UK firms supplying to the EU. It requires continuous risk management, supply-chain security, and incident reporting within 24 hours. Our platform provides the tools to meet these stringent demands. Here are the core features for UK NIS Regulations readiness:

1. Immutable Storage: Use S3 Object Lock to make backups unchangeable for a set period, providing a powerful defence against ransomware.
2. Multi-Layer Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with keys managed under strict EU control.
3. Granular IAM: Role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) let you enforce least-privilege policies.
4. Certified Data Centres: We operate exclusively in certified European data centres, ensuring robust physical and operational security.

These features provide a documented, auditable security posture from day one. This proactive stance on security helps you build trust with customers and regulators. It also prepares you for the next wave of digital regulation.

Empower the UK Channel with Sovereign Storage

We are committed to enabling our UK partners, including MSPs, resellers, and system integrators. Our new UK distribution agreement with Northamber plc provides local access and support for the entire channel. The partner console offers multi-tenant management, RBAC, and detailed reporting for over 1,000 clients from a single dashboard. Our predictable-by-design pricing allows partners to build BaaS and DRaaS offerings with stable margins of 30% or more. With full API and CLI automation, onboarding new customers takes less than 60 minutes. This focus on the channel makes it simple for British cloud companies to deliver sovereign solutions. This partnership model is designed for mutual growth and success.

Begin Your Transition to a Sovereign Cloud

Making the switch to a sovereign cloud architecture is a straightforward, three-step process. First, use our S3-compatible API to connect your existing backup tools and applications in minutes. Second, configure geofenced storage policies to ensure your data for over 500 users remains within your chosen region. Finally, run a test restore of a 1 TB dataset to validate performance and integrity. Our new UK presence ensures low latency for all operations.
