The EAD Enterprise Suite sovereign cloud
Your trusted solution for confidential digital documentation
The EAD Enterprise Suite sovereign cloud is a robust digital infrastructure deployed on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure that is designed to ensure that sensitive information managed by EAD Enterprise Suite remains within the European Union (EU) region and meets strict security standards.
When should I use the EAD Enterprise Suite sovereign cloud?
Confidential information should always be managed according to the highest security standards and protocols in the digital realm. Failure to comply with these standards may expose confidential information to significant risks, including non-compliance with regulatory requirements, data breaches, cybersecurity threats and intellectual property theft.
Information handled in the course of a legal transaction, such as a merger or acquisition, financial transaction or any legal proceeding, is often sensitive and subject to strict confidentiality obligations. Using the EAD Enterprise Suite sovereign cloud in these scenarios means that information is managed securely and efficiently, and in compliance with European regulations.
Which EAD Enterprise Suite products use the sovereign cloud?
All EAD Enterprise Suite products are built on Oracle’s sovereign cloud, ensuring compliance with European regulations and high security standards.
Key features
Data located within the EU
EAD Enterprise Suite guarantees that all data are stored within the EU, specifically in the sovereign cloud regions located in Spain and Germany. These regions are isolated from other cloud regions in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific, ensuring the sovereignty of the data through regional isolation.
Strictly managed access
Access to Oracle’s sovereign cloud is strictly controlled. Only personnel residing in the EU and employed by Oracle entities within the EU can manage and support these regions. These employees are bound by rigorous confidentiality agreements and undergo comprehensive privacy and data protection training.
Compliance with government requests
It is Oracle’s policy to challenge any government requests for data access that are deemed invalid or not legally binding. Oracle will also make every effort to notify customers of such requests whenever legally possible, ensuring transparency and compliance with data protection laws.
Technical security measures
The EAD Enterprise Suite sovereign cloud architecture is designed to ensure data and backups remain within the chosen region (EU). Certain technologies, such as Content Delivery Network (CDN) services, are disabled to prevent data from being moved outside of these specified regions, further ensuring data sovereignty.
