Aptum places your data in a named data centre and keeps it there, with the documentation to prove it.
When a regulator, a contract or your board requires your data to stay in a specific region, an assurance from your provider is not enough to close the finding. Aptum runs your environment on hardware we manage, in a specific data centre, so we can place your data there, keep it there, and give you documentation of where it resides and who can reach it.
Where this usually starts:
Your provider names a region, but you cannot establish whether a foreign legal request could still reach the data, and your legal team wants a firmer answer than the one they have.
A customer contract or a regulator requires your data to stay inside a specific country, and winning or keeping that business depends on demonstrating that it does.
You operate in a market with residency rules, GDPR among them, and your current provider cannot place or keep that data where those rules point.
Your board or your legal team has asked where the data physically resides and who can access it, and the answer today is that you would have to go and find out.
You discover that a provider described as local is moving your data through infrastructure in another country, which is not what you signed for.
Your auditor is no longer satisfied by an assurance and wants documentation of residency and access that you cannot currently produce.
Getting to a defensible position means establishing where your data is and where your obligations say it should be. Then moving whatever needs to move. And holding that position, since a posture that is correct on audit day and drifts afterwards will not survive the next cycle.
Aptum's Security Posture and Compliance Assessment establishes where your data is, where it needs to be, and the gaps between the two.
Onto infrastructure Aptum owns and operates, in Canada, the US or the UK, depending on what your regulations require.
Replace end-of-life security hardware, close audit findings and put the right controls in place.
Managed security and compliance keep the posture in place, so what you closed in one audit cycle is still closed in the next.
Your production data is the obvious part. But backups, disaster-recovery copies and snapshots also fall under the same requirement. We make sure that doesn't get missed. Each Aptum region is a fully separate environment, so nothing crosses from one region into another by default.
Placed in the data centre you choose, on hardware Aptum owns and operates.
For workloads on Shared Cloud and Dedicated Cloud, Aptum Prizm shows which region each one is running in, and it is where your team sets role-based permissions per environment. Every action is captured in a single activity log, which allows you to monitor who changed what and when.
Because Aptum operates your environment on its own hardware in a specific facility, your data can be placed in a named data centre and kept there. You get documentation of where it resides and who can access it, in a form you can hand to auditors, regulators and your own customers.
A global hyperscaler can tell you which region a copy of your data is in. Aptum can tell you which building.
Aptum owns the hardware and runs the environment on it, so we directly control where your data goes.
Aptum documents where your data resides and who can access it, in a form you can give straight to auditors and regulators.
Managed security and compliance hold the posture over time, so what you close in an audit stays closed over time.
Data centres in Canada, the US and the UK, so you can meet residency requirements in more than one market without changing provider.
“We’re dealing with technology. It’s not all perfect. But Aptum’s managed services team is always there to ensure that things are done well and that we are fully supported when things go wrong. Stuff happens. But I know when it does, I can count on Aptum to fix it.”
“The experience is that things just work. When there’s something to be done, it’s done quickly, and it’s done right first time. Don’t underestimate the number of organizations out there, particularly in IT support, that just miss the mark.”
Data sovereignty is the requirement that data be stored, processed and governed under the laws of a particular country or region. In practice it means being able to say which country your data is in, which facility holds it and who can access it, and being able to evidence all of that to an auditor or a regulator.
That is a determination for your legal team, and what Aptum can do is give them the facts to work from. Your data is hosted on hardware Aptum owns and operates, in the data centre and region you choose, and Aptum documents where it resides and who can access it. Bring us the requirement you are working to, and we will show you how the environment is set up against it.
Aptum provides documentation of where your data physically resides and who can access it, which you can give directly to auditors and regulators.
Yes. Aptum places your workloads in a named data centre in the region you need and keeps them there.
They can. Backup and disaster-recovery sites can be placed in the same region as the primary environment, including in the same country, and each Aptum region is a fully separate environment.
A hyperscaler region tells you which region a copy of your data is in. Aptum can tell you which data centre it is in, because Aptum places it there and operates it, and can document who has access to it. If your requirement is written in terms of a specific facility or a named set of people, that difference matters.
Aptum holds ISO 27001, and the data centres your workloads run in are audited to SOC 2 Type II.
Aptum can host data in the required region and provide the documentation to support your obligations.
Aptum can host data in the required region and provide the documentation to support your obligations.
With the Security Posture and Compliance Assessment. It establishes where your data is, where your obligations say it should be, and what it takes to close the gap.
