Establish Digital Sovereignty to Meet UK GDPR Mandates

True compliance begins with data control, a principle central to UK GDPR. Storing data exclusively in certified European data centers provides a direct solution to regulatory demands. Our platform guarantees country-level geofencing, keeping 100% of your data in predefined EU regions. This architecture eliminates exposure to the US CLOUD Act by design. A strong majority of EU decision-makers now view sovereign cloud solutions as essential for critical infrastructure. This shift addresses the legal conflict where a provider's origin country can dictate data access, regardless of where it is stored. Choosing a UK-based provider is a strategic step towards mitigating this specific jurisdictional risk.

Leverage S3 Compatibility for Seamless Migration and Operations

Migrating to a new platform should not require rewriting your applications. We provide 100% S3-API compatibility to protect your existing investments. Your established apps, scripts, and tools continue working on day one. This includes advanced capabilities like versioning and lifecycle management. Our platform ensures you can maintain your operational workflows without any code changes. This focus on interoperability is a core tenet of the EU Data Act, which takes effect from September 2025. It ensures you have a real exit path, preventing vendor lock-in. You can find more details on our compliance page.

Adopt a Predictable Cost Model Without Hidden Fees

Cloud cost complexity is a major pain point for nearly 70% of enterprises. Our financial model is built on transparency to solve this directly. We have completely eliminated egress fees and API call costs. There are also no minimum storage duration penalties, giving you total flexibility. This approach provides predictable margins, a key benefit for our MSP partners. For instance, our UK distributor Northamber plc enables local resellers to offer stable pricing for backup and archiving services. This model ensures your total cost of ownership is clear from the start.

Implement Advanced Security for Resilient Ransomware Protection

A robust defence against ransomware requires multiple layers of security. Our solution incorporates multi-layer encryption for all data in transit and at rest. We also offer Immutable Storage with S3 Object Lock as a standard feature. This makes your backups unchangeable for a set period, providing a critical defence against malicious encryption. A comprehensive security strategy includes the following steps:

• Utilise Identity-based IAM with granular, role-driven policies.
• Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all administrative accounts.
• Support external IdPs via SAML/OIDC for secure, federated access.
• Implement time-bounded access and presigned URLs for temporary permissions.
• Regularly audit access logs and permissions for at least 90 days.

These features help you build a resilient posture for secure cloud backup and data protection.

Utilise an 'Always-Hot' Architecture for Consistent Performance

Complex storage tiering often creates hidden operational costs and delays. Our 'Always-Hot' object storage model ensures 100% of your data is immediately accessible. This eliminates tier-restore delays that can disrupt urgent recovery operations. This architecture guarantees predictable latencies for mixed workloads. It simplifies operations and keeps third-party backup tools stable, avoiding API timeouts. This approach is critical for maintaining business continuity and meeting the continuous security process demands of UK NIS Regulations. It provides the performance parity needed to switch from established providers, a key driver for over 50% of businesses seeking UK data residency solutions.

Empower MSPs with a Partner-Ready Platform

Our platform is designed to help MSPs and resellers grow their business profitably. The predictable cost model with zero egress fees allows for stable, defensible margins on Backup-as-a-Service offerings. We provide a multi-tenant console with robust RBAC and MFA for secure client management. Automation is available via a full API and CLI, simplifying onboarding and reporting for hundreds of clients. With distributors like api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK, we are expanding local access for our partners. This ecosystem is strengthened by collaborations with ISVs like NovaBackup, ensuring seamless integrations for MSPs.

Follow a Practical Checklist for Migration

Transitioning to a new storage platform can be straightforward with proper planning. A successful migration ensures business continuity and immediate compliance benefits. For any organisation handling sensitive information, such as those in the UK legal sector, a clear plan is essential. Here is a simple checklist to guide your move:

1. Document all applications and scripts that use your current S3-compatible storage.
2. Update the endpoint configurations in your tools to point to the new service.
3. Re-create your bucket policies and IAM roles within the new platform's console.
4. Conduct a pilot migration with a non-critical dataset of at least 1 TB.
5. Perform a test restore of at least 10% of the pilot data to validate integrity.
6. Schedule the full migration during a low-traffic period, such as over a weekend.

Following these steps minimizes risk and ensures a smooth transition to a fully compliant environment.

Begin Your Journey to Sovereign Cloud

Adopting a sovereign-by-design storage solution is the most effective way to achieve UK GDPR compliant file sharing. It directly addresses the legal and regulatory risks posed by non-UK providers. With performance parity and a transparent economic model, the barriers to switching have been removed for over 80% of enterprises. Take the next step to secure your data and gain full control.
