A compliance-driven UK organisation was operating sensitive workloads on a mixture of offshore public cloud services and third-party managed platforms.

Following internal governance reviews and regulatory guidance, the organisation required a UK-sovereign cloud platform delivering:

• Guaranteed UK data residency
• Full infrastructure control
• ISO-certified operations
• Regulatory audit assurance

They engaged Warrington Data Centre to design and deliver a compliant private cloud environment.
