27 August 2019, Zürich, Switzerland – Today Tresorit, the leading end-to-end encrypted file sync and sharing solution, announced the rollout of a highly requested feature; data residency options in the US, the UK, Canada, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland and France for its enterprise customers. This will make it significantly easier for companies to comply with sector specific regulations mandating data storage within the borders of a specific country.

Businesses face increasingly complex regulatory requirements when it comes to data storage. Certain sectors are still bound to hold data within borders which impedes them from reaping the benefits of cloud-based solutions. Others, such as those based in the UK, have to prepare for an uncertain situation with Brexit around the corner. To help companies meet residency and compliance requirements, Tresorit will now enable its enterprise customers to securely store files in the US, as well as the UK, Canada, and Ireland.

“This feature is especially interesting for organizations handling sensitive data such as finance, legal or healthcare companies, as these sectors often prefer or are required to store data within borders. Tresorit’s offering of new data residency choices will end compliance related hurdles for these companies who can now safely and securely store files in the cloud in their preferred location” commented Gyorgy Szilagyi, Chief Product Officer, Tresorit AG.

In addition to its current servers located on highly secure Microsoft Azure data centers in Ireland, Tresorit will make new data residency options available to empower enterprises to store sensitive files within the borders of the country of their choice. New locations, which are available upon request, include, the UK, Canada and two regions in the US (Virginia and California). German, Swiss and French customers will also soon have the possibility to store their data locally in Microsoft’s upcoming cloud regions in Germany, Switzerland and in France.

By making this choice available, Tresorit will help businesses satisfy company policy and industry or geography-related requirements for data storage location. Organizations with offices around the globe will be able to keep their data in multiple countries while ensuring frictionless collaboration among teams. No matter the location, the data will stay encrypted at all times. Contrary to mainstream file sync and sharing services, Tresorit uses built-in, by default, end-to-end encryption technology which ensures that files never get decrypted on its servers and are only accessible by the user and the intended recipient. With the option of multiple data storage locations, Tresorit adds an extra layer of control to its ultra-secure file sync and sharing solution.
