Where security comes first – Sweden

Where security comes first - Sweden

In recent years, the adoption of cloud computing has transformed the way businesses operate and store their data. Yet, with this digital revolution comes mounting pressures regarding data security. 

As organisations worldwide grapple with safeguarding their sensitive information, for businesses operating within Europe ensuring compliance is a business essential. This is no different in Sweden where customers are increasingly aware of data privacy. 

Sweden holds a proud culture of privacy and transparency that extends into the business sphere, with companies operating within the region increasingly seeking the best solution when it comes to data security. This not only fosters trust between companies and their customers, but builds better business relations and loyalty.

With such commitment to ensuring data protection it is no surprise that many businesses operating within Sweden and providing services to public entities are evaluated on their commitment and policy regarding data protection. For companies this means ensuring your cloud provider is EU-based and operating from EU servers.

What’s more, data centres across Europe must adhere to rigorous standards, ensuring data availability even in the face of unforeseen challenges like power outages or natural disasters. This commitment to redundancy and reliability ensures that businesses can rely on their cloud solutions without compromising the security and accessibility of their data.
