Organizations across Europe increasingly require security solutions that allow sensitive email data to remain within European jurisdictions. Fortra’s European deployment in ISO27001/SOC2 datacenters enables customers to keep their data in-region, supporting local compliance requirements while maintaining enterprise-grade protection.
Built with privacy-by-design principles, the platform minimizes the collection of personal information while protecting email communications through layered security controls including encryption, access management, and comprehensive auditing.
Customers retain control of their data while benefiting from enterprise email security. Administrative access, data handling practices, and regional hosting support organizations’ strict sovereignty requirements.
“Organizations need email security that keeps pace with today’s threat landscape while supporting regional compliance requirements,” said Aaron Cockerill, Chief Product Officer at Fortra. “Cloud Email Protection has used machine learning and AI as a foundational part of its detection capabilities since its inception as a cloud-native solution. This expansion ensures customers in Europe can benefit from that advanced protection while detecting and eliminating threats faster – without adding operational complexity.”
