Customer-data residency for the UK SaaS startup lands with the EU prospect insisting on EU-only data. Cloudswitched supports the AWS, GCP and Azure regional architecture (eu-west-1, eu-west-2, europe-west2, UK South), the data-residency configuration in HubSpot, Intercom or Zendesk, the Cloudflare regional routing where applicable and the customer-questionnaire-ready architecture diagram that captures the data flow. Fast-growing-headcount UK startups tripling from ten to thirty engineers in twelve months stress the onboarding playbook. Cloudswitched supports the SCIM provisioning from HiBob, Lattice or Personio into M365 or Google Workspace, GitHub, AWS IAM Identity Center, Slack, Notion, Linear and 1Password so the head of people can stop manually creating accounts in seven tools per joiner.
How it works for Startups businesses
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
1
Vendor-Neutral Advice
We recommend the best tools for your situation, not the ones that pay us the highest commission. Your security comes first.
2
Staff Awareness Focus
Technology alone is not enough. We train your people to recognise phishing, social engineering and other human-targeted attacks.
3
Full Audit Trail
Every action, alert and remediation is logged and available in your compliance dashboard, making audits and insurance renewals painless.
