Some organisations, particularly government funded ones, require data sovereignty - which means that they need to use platforms that keep the data in Australia. Humanitix uses AWS and MongoDB - all onshore (Australia) and all data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Another reasons to love Humanitix!
Data Sovereignty is a recognised issue - and so is creating technology jobs for Australians. This is an issue that Blaze Your Trail tackles head-on, along with Born Digital Solutions - 100% Queensland & 100% Indigenously Owned. They are successfully helping Indigenous Australians transition to technology roles.
So when you choose your next technology partner - don't just ask "is the data stored in Australia?" ask "are your employees who are going to be handling our data residing in Australia?"
