Data in Europe, or still out of your sight?

Microsoft announced this week that the data of European cloud customers will really stay in Europe, with control by local teams. This is good news, as many companies struggle with an uneasy feeling about where their data actually resides and who has access to it.

Recognizable concerns:

❌ Data ending up outside Europe
❌ Data in U.S. hands under laws such as the #CloudAct
❌ No control over who has access
❌ Uncertainty about exactly where your data resides

You don’t just hear these concerns in large companies. Especially in SMBs, these are questions that continue to gnaw at you, especially now that you’re working more and more in the cloud with Microsoft 365, Teams and SharePoint. You want to be able to do your work without worrying about where your data is or who can access it.

Why your IT policies only stand out when things go wrong

Did you know it can be done differently?

Many SMEs do not know that they can choose:

Custom virtual data center in the Netherlands (CPU, RAM, storage)
Managed firewall, antivirus and daily backups
Proactive monitoring and updates
SLA with fixed response times and support
Single Sign-On and MFA
Dutch, ISO27001- and NEN7510-certified data centers

This ensures that your data meets the highest security standards, without complicated hassles.

And most importantly:

You have one fixed point of contact. No menus, no tickets that are left unanswered. Just an IT partner who thinks along with you, so you can be sure that your data is safe and complies with the standards.

Why start working on this today?

When things are going well, you don’t notice anything about your IT. Until things go wrong, or you suddenly have to prove that your data is safely stored for a customer, auditor or in the event of a hack. Then you don’t want to figure out exactly where your data is or whether you meet NIS2 or ISO standards. You just want it taken care of.

At ALTA-ICT, we work with a modern workplace that meets these standards and allows you to focus on your work without worrying about your data.
