As businesses become increasingly global, data has become one of their most valuable assets—and one of their most vulnerable. With operations spread across continents and sensitive content constantly flowing between teams, partners, and regulators, organisations need confidence that their data is not only secure, but stored in a way that aligns with their legal, ethical, and strategic priorities.

For companies operating in or with the European Union, one question has become particularly urgent: Can you trust where your data is stored?

The Rising Demand for Digital Sovereignty

In recent years, Europe has sharpened its focus on digital sovereignty—the ability to control and protect data within its borders and under its rules. As the European Policy Centre notes, “digital sovereignty is essential for fostering the EU’s strategic autonomy.” Ensuring that data is stored, processed, and governed within the EU is a key pillar of this strategy.

What might seem like a political issue is, in practice, about protecting intellectual property, ensuring regulatory compliance, and building resilience against extraterritorial influence. In a world where data regulations vary widely between regions, hosting sensitive enterprise content in a non-EU jurisdiction can expose organisations to conflicting legal obligations, unexpected audits, or even access requests from foreign governments.

CARA Ensures Your EU Data Stays in the EU

At Generis, we believe you should always know where your data lives, and feel confident that it’s aligned with your organisation’s compliance obligations and data sovereignty priorities.

That’s why, with the CARA Platform, we guarantee that all EU customer data is stored within the European Union.

Whether you’re in life sciences, finance, energy, or any other regulated industry, this commitment provides peace of mind that your critical business information remains under EU jurisdiction and protected by the GDPR and other relevant EU data protection frameworks.

Keeping your data in the EU doesn’t mean putting all your eggs in one basket—we host your data with redundancy across multiple data centres (three AWS availability zones) and a separate Disaster Recovery region, all within the EU.

Beyond Location: Why Data Residency Matters

Where data is stored isn’t just a checkbox on a compliance form—it directly impacts:

Built for Flexibility. Designed for Control.

CARA is built to support multi-jurisdictional organisations, offering flexible configurations so that each region or business unit can meet its own data storage, access, and compliance requirements.

Whether you need a single global platform with local storage guarantees or region-specific deployments, CARA gives you the power to tailor your infrastructure without sacrificing usability or control.

A Smarter Approach to Strategic Autonomy

Data is now more than just a byproduct, it has become the core of value creation for most organisations. As Europe pushes for greater control over its digital future, companies that align their content infrastructure with these priorities will be better positioned to grow, innovate, and compete on their own terms.

With CARA, you don’t have to choose between global collaboration and local control. You get both: a powerful, unified content and process management platform, with data stored exactly where it should be.
