Data sovereignty without the enterprise price tag

For a growing number of teams — especially in the EU, DACH and Switzerland — where data lives is no longer a nice-to-have. Regulators, clients and boards increasingly ask a blunt question: can a foreign government compel access to our communications?

If your collaboration tool is operated under the US CLOUD Act, the honest answer is uncomfortable. So data residency has become a buying criterion, not a footnote.

Three levels of control

Ollasync gives you a ladder, so you can pick the level of sovereignty you actually need:

1. EU hosting (shared cloud). Our multi-tenant cloud runs in the EU — Frankfurt, Germany — and the media SFU advertises its eu-central region on every connection, so the placement is verifiable, not just promised.
2. Single-tenant (your region). One application server and one database dedicated to you, with the media SFU pinned to the jurisdiction you need — Switzerland or elsewhere — so calls stay where your rules require. No shared multi-tenant surface, cleaner data-processing story.
3. Self-host. Run the entire stack inside your own perimeter: app, database and SFU. No phone-home, air-gap friendly. Your infrastructure, your keys, your audit boundary.

Sovereignty and E2EE are complementary

End-to-end encryption already means we can’t read your content. Residency adds where the ciphertext and metadata physically sit and who has legal reach over it. Together they answer both halves of the question a regulator asks: who can read it (no one but the room) and whose laws apply (yours).

Honest about certification

We won’t pretend to hold certifications we don’t. The encryption is real and continuously tested end-to-end, but we don’t yet hold an external cryptography audit or SOC 2 / ISO 27001 — those are on our roadmap as we onboard design partners. If a specific attestation gates your procurement, ask us — we’ll tell you exactly where we are, and where we’re headed.

Data sovereignty shouldn’t require a six-figure enterprise contract. Building it in from day one is how we keep it accessible to the small, serious teams who need it most.
