Why it matters

Where your data lives determines who can access it.

Data residency is not a checkbox. It determines which governments can compel access to your clients' data, which regulations apply and what promises you can make to clients about their privacy.

CLOUD Act risk

US-headquartered cloud providers can be compelled by US courts to hand over data stored anywhere in the world, including data stored in EU data centres. Choosing a non-US provider eliminates this exposure for EU customer data.

GDPR compliance

Data transfers to countries without an EU adequacy decision require additional safeguards: Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules or explicit consent. EU-default hosting avoids the transfer problem entirely.

Client trust

Regulated clients in finance, healthcare and legal need contractual assurance about where their data is processed. EU-default hosting lets you make that assurance without caveats — and prove it in a security review.

HubSecure defaults

European by default. No opt-in required.

These are not premium options or add-ons. They are the defaults every HubSecure customer gets from day one — because data sovereignty should not be a line item.

EU hosting by default European infrastructure for all regulated EU customers. No opt-in, no upgrade required. EU data stays on EU infrastructure.
No data transfer to US servers No US-headquartered cloud provider holds your tenant data. No CLOUD Act compulsion risk. We do not route EU customer data through US infrastructure.
Regional deployment options (EU, Nordics) Enterprise plans include dedicated single-region deployment. Lock your infrastructure to EU or Nordic region for healthcare, finance and legal requirements.
Full data export and portability (GDPR Art. 20) Export all your data in standard formats at any time. No extraction fees, no lock-in penalties, no hoops to jump through. Portability is a right, not a premium feature.
How we compare

The residency question answered directly.

Most regulated-team software is built by US-headquartered companies. That creates a CLOUD Act exposure regardless of where the servers are. HubSecure is headquartered in Norway/EU.

Provider HQ jurisdiction Default hosting CLOUD Act exposure
HubSecure Norway / EU EU No
Google Workspace United States US (EU option) Yes
Microsoft 365 United States US (EU option) Yes
Freshworks United States US Yes
Zoho India India / EU Varies

Note: CLOUD Act jurisdiction follows corporate structure, not server location. A US-headquartered company can be compelled to produce data held in EU servers. This table reflects jurisdictional risk, not marketing claims.

Right to erasure

GDPR Article 17 — built into the workflow.

The right to erasure is not just about deleting a record. HubSecure implements full erasure across linked records, audit logs, backups and AI-generated data — with evidence of completion.

Step 1
Request received Erasure request logged in the Evidence Timeline with timestamp and requester identity. Acknowledgement sent within 24 hours.
Step 2
Scope identified All records, documents, AI outputs and linked data referencing the subject are identified across modules. Retention exceptions are flagged for legal review.
Step 3
Erasure executed Data is deleted from live systems, queued for backup rotation and removed from AI indexes. Pseudonymisation applied where full deletion is legally restricted.
Step 4
Confirmation issued Erasure completion certificate generated and stored in the Evidence Timeline. Exportable for GDPR accountability records. Completed within 30 days.
