That means your business communications, files, and collaboration data can be accessed by foreign authorities without your knowledge or service turned off. **Sovereign Workplace is Safe Swiss Cloud’s answer**: a modular suite of workplace tools that delivers the same features and performance as the market leaders — with data sovereignty built in from the ground up. Your data is stored 100% in Safe Swiss Cloud’s Swiss data centres. **Your team stays productive. Your organisation stays sovereign and compliant.** ## What’s Included --- Sovereign Workplace brings together a selection of integrated products — each available individually or as a complete suite. ### Sovereign Collaboration A complete communication and collaboration suite: business email, calendar, contacts, video conferencing, team chat, and notes — all hosted in Switzerland, accessible from Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, iPad, and Chromebooks.

It has a precise meaning — and it matters for your organisation’s IT resilience, data, and compliance. ### Swiss-owned, Swiss-operated Safe Swiss Cloud is a Swiss-owned company, incorporated and managed in Switzerland. There is no foreign parent company, and no legal pathway for foreign authorities to access your data. ### 100% Swiss data centres All Sovereign Workplace data is hosted in Safe Swiss Cloud’s data centres in Switzerland. No data is processed, stored, or replicated outside Switzerland. ### No US Cloud Act The US CLOUD Act allows US authorities to compel US-owned cloud providers to disclose customer data — regardless of where that data is physically stored. With Safe Swiss Cloud, this risk does not exist. ### Same features. Full sovereignty. Sovereign Workplace does not ask you to trade functionality for privacy. You get the email, collaboration, file sharing, and remote desktop capabilities your team expects — without compromising on data sovereignty. Your data stays in Switzerland — regardless of what happens in Washington.
