Managed Sovereign Cloud for UK Transport & Rail
Built for Operators of Essential Services (OES), our sovereign cloud keeps critical transport and rail data secure, UK-resident, and audit-ready.
From rail logistics and passenger data to telematics and IoT, our ISO 27001-certified sovereign cloud supports UK data residency and NIS Directive requirements.
Sovereign hosting for critical transport applications
We provide high-availability, ISO 27001-certified sovereign cloud hosting for your most critical transport applications. This is essential for Operators of Essential Services (OES) under the NIS Directive. We host rail/port logistics, passenger management, and signalling systems, with UK data sovereignty and CNI-level resilience built in, supporting your wider cyber resilience posture as an OES.
Secure analytics for telematics & passenger data for transport
Transport generates vast amounts of sensitive data from telematics, IoT sensors, and passenger systems. Our managed data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks) run within our sovereign cloud, allowing you to run analytics (e.g., Power BI) while keeping all PII and sensitive operational data stored in the UK, supporting your GDPR data residency obligations
Managed DR & Backup to a sovereign cloud for transport
Ensure operational resilience for your critical on-premise systems. We provide a fully managed Disaster Recovery (DR) and backup service, replicating your key systems to our secure, UK-sovereign cloud. This provides a cost-effective, auditable recovery solution to meet your RPO/RTO and support your CNI regulatory obligations.
Ready to bring your transport data home?
From critical application hosting to secure analytics and auditable disaster recovery, our sovereign cloud specialists can help UK transport and rail organisations keep sensitive data where it belongs.

Sovereign Cloud FAQs for Transport & Rail
-
It's a cloud platform (like VMware) where all data is stored and processed only within the UK, managed by vetted UK staff. This is critical for transport operators, especially those designated CNI (Critical National Infrastructure) or OES (Operators of Essential Services), as it supports your compliance with UK data residency laws and the NIS Directive.
-
Yes. This is a primary use case. You can securely ingest telematics, passenger flow, and IoT sensor data into our sovereign data platforms (like Databricks or Snowflake). We manage the platform, allowing you to run Power BI or other analytics while keeping all sensitive PII and operational data stored in the UK, supporting your GDPR obligations.
-
As an OES, you must prove the resilience and security of your critical systems. Our sovereign cloud provides auditable security controls (e.g., ISO 27001), high-availability infrastructure, and secure UK-based DR/backup solutions. This gives you the evidence you need to demonstrate compliance to the NCSC. For rail operators specifically, the Department for Transport (DfT) leads on Security of Network and Information Systems Regulations enforcement - our NCSC CAF-aligned approach is designed to support the evidence rail operators need for both DfT and NCSC engagement.
-
It can be, or it can be a hybrid solution. For data that must be sovereign (e.g., critical CNI data, sensitive PII), our private cloud provides the highest level of assurance. For other workloads, you can still use hyperscale clouds like AWS or Azure. We specialise in managing this hybrid cloud strategy for you.
-
Sovereign DR (Disaster Recovery) is replicating your critical on-premise systems (e.g., your rail operations or logistics platform) to our secure UK cloud. If your primary site fails, you can recover your services in our UK-sovereign cloud. It's a key part of modern operational resilience and a requirement for CNI.
