OwnBackup Data Center in London, UK

OwnBackup, Inc. expanded their data center operations to include London, UK.

It has 9 data centers across the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Demonstrating their commitment to UK customer privacy and regulatory compliance, the London data center gives customers the option to store and process their data completely there.

“Driven by strong customer demand since the announcement of Brexit, this latest addition to our global data center options will expand our UK business opportunities and our mission to ensure that no company operating in the cloud will ever lose data,” said Gareth Morris, VP and GM of EMEA. “We strive to help all of our customers minimize the risk of any data loss, reduce storage costs, eliminate regulatory compliance headaches, and have the tools to properly govern all of their crucial enterprise data.“

Simplify Regulatory Compliance Challenges
Even though GDPR will no longer apply directly in the UK at the end of the Brexit transition period (December 31, 2020), UK organizations will likely need to remain compliant with its requirements. This has created challenges for organizations that process EU residents’ personal data. Among them is the need to store and process certain customer data completely in the UK.

OwnBackup helps overcome these challenges by making it simple for customers to store and process specific Salesforce data completely within the UK or within both the UK and EU.

Furthermore, OwnBackup for GDPR enables all of its customers, regardless of location, to:

• Maintain data transparency through powerful search capabilities
• Respond to subject access requests across all backups
• Customize backup retention controls to meet corporate objectives
• Store immutable backups for DR purposes

Maintain Data Security and Privacy
UK customers can rest assured that their data is stored within the boundaries of UK laws, while maintaining the same level of security existing OwnBackup data center locations provide. Customer data runs on AWS servers across 9 data centers distributed across the globe. In addition, the firm applies security measures including AES 256-bit encryption at rest, encryption in transit, audit logs and monitoring, an Intrusion Detection System (IDS), and a 24×7 response team.
