Data Residency is Critical for Organizations and Enterprises
Tailored to Regional Requirements
Data privacy and security regulations aim to protect citizens from accidental leaks and malicious threat actors.

Data residency services with FileCloud allow data to be stored and processed according to regional requirements.
Centralized Data Control
Privacy laws are increasingly common on a global scale and vary by region. The FileCloud platform offers data residency and other security and privacy tools to help meet key regulatory principles that support controlled information processing, collection, and storage.
Privacy Expectations
An organization’s reputation and ability to operate relies on how well they protect personally identifiable information (PII) and other types of confidential or sensitive data. FileCloud provides data leak prevention, remote access authentication, and of course, data residency support.
