The confidentiality challenges of a notary office

The constraints of your profession, and the concrete answer a sovereign cloud provides.

πŸ”’

Professional secrecy

Notaries are bound to secrecy over all information they receive. Every stored document must remain under your exclusive control.

βœ“ Strict access control, encryption and audit log
πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Data sovereignty

Assets, family ties, estates: this data must not be accessible to a foreign authority through the CLOUD Act.

βœ“ European provider, out of reach of the CLOUD Act
πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

GDPR & retention

Client files contain sensitive personal data that must be kept for long periods, secured and traceable.

βœ“ Data stays in the EU, GDPR DPA and records made easy
πŸ“€

Client & peer exchanges

Draft deeds, surveys, ID documents: email exchanges risk interception and misdirected messages.

βœ“ Password-protected links with expiry dates
