Secure EU Compliant Data Backup in the Cloud

Published {$created} by Carsten Blum

Imagine a sprawling library. Traditionally, you're responsible for the building: its security, upkeep, and ensuring compliance with local regulations. That's a substantial undertaking. Now, consider entrusting that responsibility to a specialized, highly regulated archive – one built to the strictest European standards. That’s essentially what EU compliant data backup cloud solutions provide.

Many organizations, particularly those handling sensitive data or operating within the EU, face increasingly complex compliance requirements, like GDPR. Self-hosting data backups while adhering to these regulations is complex and resource-intensive. It's not merely about storage; it's about demonstrating adherence to data residency, processing, and security mandates. Using a solution like ftpGrid relieves that burden.

At ftpGrid, we’re that specialized archive. Our infrastructure is hosted within the EU and adheres to GDPR principles, ensuring your data resides within the region and is processed according to European regulations. We don't scan, share, or resell your data – a key differentiator from many general-purpose cloud storage providers. You retain control and visibility while benefiting from a highly available, secure, and compliant infrastructure. This is highlighted in our GDPR compliant page, detailing our commitment to European data protection standards.

Beyond Storage: Peace of Mind & Operational Efficiency

The benefits extend beyond simple regulatory compliance. Moving your data backup to a managed service like ftpGrid frees up your internal IT resources to focus on core business activities. We handle the infrastructure, security updates, and maintenance, reducing your operational overhead. Our dashboard gives you visibility and control over your data, with features like historical storage graphs and account usage monitoring. Moreover, options like external backups allow you to create a resilient data protection strategy.

We offer a range of protocols including SFTP, ensuring secure transfers, as explained in our tutorials/ftp-101-sftp-vs-ftp-limitations. Our pricing page outlines flexible plans to suit various needs, and our free tier allows you to experience the benefits firsthand.
