PRESSRELEASE:
Cygate offers its customers Swedish cloud services for secure file storage via Storegate
The GDPR has meant that more and more companies are demanding that their files be stored in Europe and in some cases even in Sweden. With the new US law “Cloud Act”, it will also be crucial which supplier Swedish companies choose to avoid the possibility of foreign authorities accessing stored information. Therefore, Cygate, part of Telia, now offers its customers Storegate’s services as part of its service offering for local cloud services.
When the EU General Data Protection Regulation came into force earlier this year, many companies and organizations became aware of how their information was handled. This also increased the need for locally produced cloud services for storing data within Sweden’s borders. Therefore, Cygate now offers 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. Here, Cygate can already offer a wide range of services as well as its own data centers for storing and managing our customers’ information in a more tailored way. With Storegate, we can also offer fully Swedish cloud services for securing, storing and sharing files to 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 fully 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 located in Sweden at our partner Telia Carrier. Having our own platform also means that we can offer customized cloud services to secure, store and share files. That’s pretty unique too,” concludes Matz Karlsson.

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