Data Sovereignty

Data sovereignty means knowing where your data lives and whose laws can reach it. We help Sydney businesses move off foreign-owned cloud where it makes sense, using Australian and self-hosted alternatives.

All services

What does it include?

  • Moving off foreign-owned cloud where it makes sense
  • Australian and self-hosted alternatives (files, CRM, email)
  • Hybrid setups: keep what you can’t leave (like Microsoft 365) and self-host the rest
  • Leaving Google (for example, moving to Proton)

How is it charged?

Work outside general support, like projects and on-site visits, is billed in 15-minute blocks, and you see the time. Licences and hardware are at cost, with our markup shown on the invoice. How we charge.

Where to start: the Sovereignty Audit. A Sovereignty Audit shows where your data actually lives, which countries' laws can reach it, and how that sits with the Australian Privacy Principles. You get a sovereignty rating and a migration path.

Frequently asked questions

What is data sovereignty?

It's knowing where your data is stored and which countries' laws can reach it. Data held by a foreign-owned provider can be reachable under that country's laws, for example the US CLOUD Act.

Do I have to leave Microsoft 365?

No. We can set up a hybrid. You keep what you can't leave, like Microsoft 365, and self-host the rest.

Can you help us leave Google?

Yes. For example, we can move you to Proton.

Where do I start?

Ask us anything — free, by email.

Tell us what's going on and we'll give you a straight answer, even if the answer is "you don't need us."

The fine print, in plain English: free advice is general information for a one-off question, given in good faith. It doesn't make you a client and isn't a substitute for a proper look at your systems, and to the extent the law allows, we're not liable for how it's used. Anything beyond that one answer, like follow-up help or work on your systems, is a paid service that we agree with you in writing first.
