We are excited to announce a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to data protection and privacy: the launch of our new European data center in Ireland!
In today’s data protection landscape, organizations increasingly seek control over where their data resides and how it is managed. This is particularly relevant in Europe, where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has become the global gold standard for data protection laws. Launching our new European data center in Ireland helps our customers achieve these aims.
Safeguarding our customers’ data has always been our top priority at Forter, and this latest development underscores our ongoing dedication to protecting their privacy and providing enhanced services to our valued customers in Europe.
This new development bolsters our privacy compliance framework and adds to our existing suite of privacy and security certifications (notably PCI Level 1, SOC2 Type II, ISO 27001, and ISO 27701 (privacy extension) certifications), as well as our certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Here’s why our new European data center matters:
- Control Over Your Data: We recognize the importance of allowing our customers to maintain control over their data. Hosting data within the EU enables our customers to mitigate some of the risks associated with cross-border data transfers.
- Enhanced Data Protection: Our European data center is equipped with state-of-the-art security and robust data protection measures, ensuring your sensitive information is safeguarded against unauthorized access, breaches, and cyber threats.
- Improved Performance and Latency: Hosting data and services within the EU enhances performance and reduces end-to-end latency, enabling our customers to provide a faster and more seamless experience for their users.
- Compliance with GDPR Best Practices: Our commitment to GDPR compliance is unwavering. By leveraging our European data center, organizations can have more confidence in their GDPR compliance efforts.
- Global reliability: By leveraging Forter’s extensive global network, we offer unparalleled disaster recovery capabilities on a global scale, ensuring your services remain resilient and reliable.
At Forter, we understand the complex challenges modern businesses face in navigating the global data protection landscape. With the launch of our new European data center, we reaffirm our dedication to empowering organizations with the tools and infrastructure needed to safeguard their most valuable asset – data.
Organizations worldwide entrust Forter with their sensitive data, and we take this responsibility seriously. We are proud to have achieved this significant milestone!
