Introduction
EU-based organizations, particularly those in regulated sectors such as Financial Services, Energy, and Telecommunications, are required to store and process data strictly within the EU to legally comply with regulatory frameworks such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Additionally, current geopolitical uncertainties have heightened concerns regarding digital sovereignty and data control, leading many EU-based organizations to seek assurance that their information is not subject to non-EU jurisdictions.
The EU is a key region for WSO2, and we are excited to announce that we have directly addressed the specific needs of our customers in the region by launching a dedicated EU regional deployment for Bijira, our AI-native API management SaaS, and Devant, our AI-native integration platform as a service. Located entirely in Ireland, this new region offers our valued EU customers strict data residency, lower latency, and fully compliant environments for building, deploying, and managing their APIs and integrations.
What does this mean for our customers in the EU?
- Data residency and sovereignty: Our new EU region offers European users enhanced data residency. Your data will be stored and processed exclusively within the EU, ensuring compliance with regional data regulations and providing greater control over your information—crucial for organizations with strict data governance policies, as it guarantees your data remains within the EU and is subject to EU laws.
- GDPR compliance: The EU region fully adheres to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), guaranteeing that your data is managed with meticulous care and in full compliance with the stringent European legal standards.
- Better performance for your APIs and integrations: Establishing a new EU region brings our services closer to European users, significantly enhancing performance, and reducing latency. This proximity ensures faster response times and smoother operations, ultimately leading to an improved user experience, and improved performance.
- Improved security: The new EU region maintains the highest security standards through advanced encryption, robust access controls, continuous monitoring to safeguard your data, and more, reflecting our commitment to providing you with completely secure platforms for building, deploying, and managing your APIs and integrations.
