Ransomware threats and complex EU regulations demand a new level of data protection. Immutable storage with Object Lock provides a powerful defense, ensuring your critical data remains unchangeable and instantly recoverable.

Key Takeawys

Object Lock provides immutable, unchangeable data storage, which is a critical defense against ransomware attacks and accidental data deletion.

Storing data in EU-only data centers with Object Lock enabled helps achieve GDPR compliance and avoids exposure to extra-territorial laws like the US CLOUD Act.

Full S3 API compatibility allows seamless integration of Object Lock features with existing backup tools and applications, simplifying migration and enhancing security without code rewrites.

In 2025, European enterprises face dual pressures: rising cyber threats and tightening data sovereignty laws. Effective cloud data management requires more than just storage; it demands verifiable security and compliance. Implementing robust cloud data management object lock features is no longer optional—it is essential for protecting digital assets against ransomware and ensuring audit-ready data retention. This strategy provides a direct path to resilience, aligning with GDPR and preparing for the EU Data Act. A sovereign-by-design approach with immutable storage offers a practical, enterprise-ready EU alternative, reducing lock-in risk while guaranteeing data integrity and control.

Secure Data Integrity with Immutable Object Lock

Object Lock makes data unchangeable for a set period, creating a first line of defense against ransomware. This core feature of our secure object storage prevents accidental or malicious deletion of critical files. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) identifies ransomware as a primary threat, making immutability vital. Our platform integrates these cloud data management object lock features to support resilient 3-2-1 backup strategies. This ensures at least one copy of your data is completely tamper-proof. This approach is fundamental for reliable disaster recovery and business continuity. It provides the technical assurance needed to face modern cyber threats confidently.

Ensure Regulatory Compliance with Sovereign Storage

Data immutability directly supports stringent EU regulations like GDPR by ensuring auditable data retention. Our platform operates exclusively in certified European data centers, eliminating CLOUD Act exposure. This commitment to data immutability provides EU legal certainty. We enforce country-level geofencing to keep data within predefined regions under strict EU rules. This guarantees your data governance aligns with EU-centric legal frameworks. Key compliance benefits include:

  • Verified encryption for data in transit and at rest.

  • EU-controlled key management and revocation procedures.

  • Immutable backups for audit-ready retention policies.

  • Full alignment with GDPR data residency requirements.

This architecture provides a foundation for compliant and sovereign data operations.


Integrate Seamlessly with Full S3 API Compatibility

Our platform’s full S3 API compatibility ensures your existing tools and scripts keep working without modification. This includes advanced capabilities like versioning and lifecycle management. You can enable Object Lock on Veeam backups and other S3-native applications out-of-the-box. This protects your past technology investments and minimizes migration risk entirely. Our solution supports leading backup tools, enabling immediate ransomware protection. For instance, our collaboration with NovaBackup highlights our commitment to ecosystem integrations for MSPs. This seamless compatibility accelerates your transition to a more secure and compliant storage environment.

Simplify Operations with an 'Always-Hot' Architecture

Our 'Always-Hot' object storage model ensures all data is immediately accessible without restore delays. This architecture eliminates the complexity and hidden costs of fragile tiering policies. When you need to recover from an incident, every second counts. Immutable objects are always online, strengthening your recovery posture significantly. This approach offers several operational advantages:

  1. It avoids API timeouts and restore fees common with tiered storage.

  2. It keeps third-party backup and recovery tools stable and predictable.

  3. It reduces operational complexity for IT teams.

  4. It guarantees consistent, low-latency performance for all workloads.

By combining immutability with instant access, our secure cloud data management simplifies your entire data lifecycle.


Empower Partners with Predictable and Secure Solutions

For MSPs and resellers, our model is predictable by design, ensuring stable margins. We charge zero egress fees and zero API call costs. This transparency allows partners to build defensible pricing for Backup-as-a-Service offerings. Our partner-ready console includes multi-tenant management with RBAC and MFA for security. Partners can deliver robust ransomware protection to clients with confidence. With new distribution channels like api in Germany and Northamber plc in the UK, local access is expanding. This momentum helps our partners grow their business on a foundation of trust and predictability.

Prepare for Future EU Data Regulations

Our architecture is built to meet emerging EU regulations head-on. The EU Data Act, effective from September 2025, mandates data portability by design. Our use of open standards and S3 compatibility provides a real exit path, preventing vendor lock-in. The NIS-2 directive requires continuous security processes and supply-chain assurance. Our built-in cloud data management object lock features are part of this continuous security posture. By choosing a sovereign EU provider, you gain a competitive advantage through regulatory readiness. This proactive stance on compliance future-proofs your S3 API data security strategy.
