EU Data Centers and Cloud Infrastructure Help Customers to Simplify Compliance with European Union Regulations!
Increasingly European enterprises must comply with regulations for establishing local residency of data and security infrastructure. HID Global now delivers its Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) as a Service (PKIaaS) with high availability and redundancy via a hybrid of data centers and cloud regions operated within the EU, enabling what it expects to be a growing number of European customers to simplify regulatory compliance.

HID Global's cloud-based HID PKIaaS platform delivers the industry’s broadest range of automation capabilities for managing privately issued and publicly trusted certificates.
Customers can choose for all data and cryptographic key material associated with HID Global’s PKIaaS to reside exclusively within the EU. By using multiple EU-based data centers and cloud regions, HID assures local residency without compromising high availability and redundancy. This includes both its preconfigured service for a dedicated issuing certificate authority (CA) and its customized Private Root PKI service.
PKI is a foundational security technology that has become difficult to manage and maintain in-house without adding the cost and complexity of a dedicated, skilled staff. Outsourcing PKI solves the problem but must be accomplished without losing control of trusted assets. Local EU data residency and service redundancy further enhances this control while also making it easier for customers to comply with EU regulations.
HID has delivered local data residency and service redundancy through a combination of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and hosted data centers at multiple locations throughout the EU. The infrastructure is used to deliver HID’s complete PKIaaS offering, across all certificate validation systems.
