FAQs
Common questions from United Kingdom clients
Can you ensure all our data stays within the UK for GDPR purposes?
Yes. We provision infrastructure in AWS eu-west-2 (London), Azure UK South, or GCP europe-west2 (London). We configure S3/Blob storage replication rules to prevent data leaving the UK region and document this in your ROPA.
What support do you provide for Cyber Essentials certification?
We implement the five Cyber Essentials technical controls: boundary firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection, and patch management. We conduct a gap assessment against the CE questionnaire and remediate findings.
We're a UK financial services firm. Can you support FCA cloud guidance compliance?
Yes. We design cloud architectures that address FCA PS21/3 operational resilience requirements: impact tolerances, scenario testing, third-party risk management, and exit planning documentation.
