PRESS RELEASE:
Cygate offers its customers Swedish cloud services for secure file storage via Storegate
GDPR has meant that more and more companies are requiring that company files are stored in Europe and in some cases even in Sweden. With the new US Cloud Act, it will also be crucial for Swedish companies to choose a provider that will avoid foreign authorities' ability to access stored information. That is why Cygate, part of Telia, is now offering Storegate services to its customers as part of its local cloud services offering.
With the entry into force of the EU's Data Protection Regulation earlier this year, many companies and organisations became aware of how their information was being handled. This also increased the need for locally produced cloud services to store data within Sweden's borders. That's why Cygate is now offering its and Telia's corporate customers secure storage in Storegate's Swedish cloud service.
Cygate complements with Storegate's Swedish cloud service
- Today, there is a great demand for legally correct and secure management of business data. Cygate can already offer a wide range of services and its own data warehouses for storing and managing our customers' information in a more tailored way. With Storegate, we can also offer pan-Swedish cloud services for securing, storing and sharing files to those customers who have these requirements." says Patrik Holmqvist, Business Area Manager for Hybrid IT at Cygate.
- With Storegate, Cygate's customers get access to a Swedish cloud service for storing, sharing, accessing and collaborating with files, which is quite unique, says Matz Karlsson, CEO of Storegate AB. This is because Storegate develops its services on its own platform and therefore, as a Swedish company, is subject to Swedish law. In addition, all files are stored in our own servers located in data centers in Sweden at our partner Telia Carrier. Having our own platform also means that we can offer customised cloud services to secure, store and share files. Quite unique too, concludes Matz Karlsson.

About the CLOUD Act
On 23 March 2018, a new US law, the Clarifying Overseas Use of Data (CLOUD) Act, came into force, requiring that US authorities be given access to data stored on US cloud services, even if it is stored abroad, and that US cloud services cannot refuse to disclose such data.
