Thank you. This brings up another problem we have with our laws: Corporates are not allowed to store such documents on servers which are outside of our country. And that's usually the case with clouds services, because of obvious reasons.

That’s not a problem with your laws, but more a problem with SaaS. Data should always stay as local as possible, ideally even within of your own organization.

How is keeping data local a good idea? Given how often there is a major breach reported, everything points to this being the opposite -- there aren't enough security specialists to go around for every company. Why not take advantage of the work done by the major cloud providers or SaaS companies instead of redoing everything in house all the time. It's like people want to actually solve the same problems over and over for eternity.

> How is keeping data local a good idea?

Sometimes you want to avoid competitors, or foreign governments, or intelligence agencies from accessing your data. Sometimes you want to avoid any kind of tracking or metadata analysis. Sometimes you want to avoid external points of failure.

Often it is cost - even including wages, AWS or GCP are a factor 10 to 100 more expensive than what you can run on rented dedicated systems from a local hoster, or by colocating. Even your own datacenter can be cheaper, and end up with identical uptime.

And then there's a question of trust. A simple question: Would you trust a Chinese SaaS company to securely store all your customer's data, and run all your services? Would you trust a Romanian one? Why would I trust an American one?
