Sovereign cloud: your data resides and is managed in Spain
Secure the residency and control of your corporate data. We host your infrastructure in our own data centre in Sant Miquel de Balenyà (Barcelona), ensuring GDPR compliance and preventing unwanted international data transfers.
- Data held in our own Spanish data centre
- Simplified GDPR compliance
- Full operational control
- No international data transfers
What is a sovereign cloud and why is it key for your business?
A sovereign cloud is a cloud computing environment where data and applications are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of a specific country—in this case, Spain. It’s not just about data being physically hosted within the country, but also ensuring that the infrastructure is operated and managed by a local entity, free from extraterritorial laws that could compel access to your information.
For Spanish businesses, adopting a sovereign cloud with Seintec means having the certainty that all your information, including backups, resides in our Sant Miquel de Balenyà (Barcelona) data centre. This simplifies GDPR compliance, eliminates the risks associated with international data transfers, and gives you direct control over who accesses and manages your systems, with a single point of contact and our own in-house technical team.

Our Difference
Total control from our own data centre in Osona
Unlike resellers or major hyperscalers, Seintec operates from our own data centre located in Sant Miquel de Balenyà (Osona, Barcelona). We don't rely on third parties to manage the physical infrastructure. Our 60 m² server room is the heart of our cloud services.
This gives us absolute control over physical security, the network, and the hardware. When you sign up for our sovereign cloud, you know exactly where your data is and who manages it: our in-house technical team, with over 15 years of experience and no middlemen. This proximity and direct control is the ultimate guarantee of sovereignty.
Implementation
How we migrate your infrastructure to a sovereign environment
Our process focuses on understanding your needs to design a safe and efficient transition, minimising any impact on your business.
2. Audit and Design
If required, we carry out an in-depth audit (the cost of which is deducted from the project total) to design a bespoke sovereign cloud solution.
3. Migration Plan
We create a detailed migration plan, establishing work windows and procedures to ensure data integrity.
4. Execution and Validation
Our technical team carries out the migration and performs the necessary checks with your team to confirm everything is working correctly.

Once validated, the service goes live with the support and management levels agreed in the contract.

Frequently Asked Questions about Sovereign Cloud
Where will my data and backups be physically located?
Both your live production data and all backups managed by Seintec will be hosted exclusively in our own data centre, located in Sant Miquel de Balenyà (Osona, Barcelona), within Spanish territory.
Who operates the infrastructure and has access to it?
The infrastructure is operated and managed entirely by Seintec's in-house technical team. We do not subcontract its administration, which allows us to maintain full control over who accesses the core platform.
Does this service guarantee my GDPR compliance?
Our sovereign cloud service provides you with the technological infrastructure and contractual guarantees to meet GDPR requirements regarding data residency and international transfers. The ultimate responsibility for processing personal data remains with you, the client.
What if my data is currently with a foreign provider?
We can help you plan and execute the migration of your data from any cloud provider to our sovereign cloud platform. We will analyse your specific situation and design a bespoke migration project.
Do you offer any kind of sovereignty certification?
We do not hold official certifications like ENS or ISO 27001. Our guarantee of sovereignty is based on demonstrable facts: ownership of our data centre in Spain, operation by our own staff, and a contractual commitment that your data will not leave the country.
