Why host your data in Switzerland
What Swiss hosting does for your business, and what it does not do on its own.
The short answer
Your data is stored and processed in Switzerland, by a Swiss provider, under Swiss law. That keeps it under one of the strictest privacy regimes in the world and away from the large US cloud platforms.
Four reasons businesses choose Switzerland
Strict privacy law
The revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, in force since 2023, sets clear rules on how personal data is processed, secured and disclosed.
No US parent company
The infrastructure provider is independent and Swiss. Foreign authorities seeking access generally have to go through Swiss legal channels.
Neutrality and stability
Switzerland has a long tradition of political neutrality, legal stability and banking-grade confidentiality.
Ready for Europe
The European Commission recognizes Swiss data protection as adequate, which simplifies work with EU clients and partners.
How we keep your data in Switzerland
Cervin Swiss Cloud handles your contract, billing and relationship from Orlando. All technical administration is carried out from Switzerland by Flux Group, a managed IT company in Geneva. Our US company has no technical access to your systems or data.
Compliance, honestly
CLOUD Act
The US CLOUD Act applies to providers under US jurisdiction. We designed our structure so that the US entity has no access to your data, and we encourage clients with sensitive data to keep their own encryption keys where possible.
HIPAA
We do not host protected health information. Medical practices can still use our services for data that is not patient-related.
SOC 2
Our Swiss infrastructure provider is certified to the ISO/IEC 27001 information security standard, which many US buyers accept in place of a SOC 2 report. Ask us for details during your assessment.
Card payments
Card payment data is not hosted in this offer.
What Swiss hosting does not do on its own
Hosting in Switzerland does not by itself make a business compliant with US rules such as HIPAA or SEC record-keeping. We review the needs of every regulated client before signing, and we tell you clearly when our services are not the right fit.
