Announcing EU Data Residency for Envoy Visitor Management

As the EMEA Regional Lead at Envoy, I'm thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey to better serve our European customers: the launch of Envoy Visitors data centers within the European Union. This move is a testament to our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of businesses across Europe, ensuring that they remain at the forefront of both innovation and compliance in the digital age.

Why This Matters

Data privacy and security have become critical concerns for organizations around the globe, and nowhere is this more evident than in Europe, where regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) have set a high bar for data protection. With their new EU-based data centers, Envoy is ensuring that customer data can remain within the European Union, offering peace of mind that data residency requirements are fully met while maintaining the highest levels of security.

In practical terms, this means our customers—whether they're based in Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, or Madrid—can rest assured knowing that their sensitive data is hosted and processed within the EU, adhering to the strict privacy laws that govern the region.

Enhancing Trust Through Localized Data

Envoy's decision to establish EU data centers stems from our commitment to providing scalable compliance solutions to companies across the globe. We opened our London office in 2021 and have since established a growing customer base across the EMEA region, from large multinational enterprises to innovative local startups. These relationships have continually inspired us to push boundaries and evolve our solutions.

With data centers in Europe, we're not just enhancing compliance—we're also reinforcing trust. Storing data locally means faster response times, better performance, and a more secure user experience, all of which are critical for industries that manage highly sensitive visitor information, like finance, healthcare, and government. This move reduces the complexities many of our customers face when navigating local regulatory landscapes, making it easier for them to adopt Envoy's integrated workplace platform at scale.

A Catalyst for Innovation

While compliance is the backbone of this initiative, we're also excited about the opportunities for innovation it introduces. By aligning with the latest data protection standards, Envoy's European customers can continue to leverage the full power of our visitor management solution, knowing that it is designed to meet both current and future regulations.

From streamlining visitor check-ins to improving workplace security and experiences, we're empowering organizations to stay agile in a rapidly changing world. Whether you're managing visitor flow in a corporate office, improving compliance at a government site, or boosting operational efficiency in a healthcare facility, Envoy is here to help transform your workplace.

What's Next?

We recognize that the workplace has dramatically changed, and organizations are under more pressure than ever to create safe, compliant, and welcoming spaces. Our mission at Envoy is to help businesses do just that, while simplifying the complexity of visitor management, compliance, and workplace security.

These new data centers are only the beginning of our mission to expand our presence across Europe. Our team in London is excited to work even more closely with our customers and partners across the EMEA region to help them leverage the latest technology to streamline their workplace operations. The launch of these data centers signals our commitment to the region, and we look forward to expanding our suite of offerings in line with local needs.

Wrapping Up

We're proud to continue our investment in Europe with the launch of EU data centers for Envoy Visitors. This initiative ensures that our customers across the region can benefit from localized data storage, enhanced security, and faster performance—all while staying compliant with the most stringent regulations.

Thank you for your continued trust in Envoy. We're excited about what the future holds and look forward to continuing to support your evolving workplace needs.
