Control over Critical Health Data with Netic's Secure and Scalable Contain Platform

A large organization in the health science sector faced the challenge of bringing the operation of a critical application with personal data home from a US public cloud to a secure Danish hosting setup. Netic’s Contain solution has ensured the organization’s data sovereignty and simultaneously created a scalable environment that has effortlessly doubled in size over the past year.

High Demands for Data Control and Compliance

Prior to collaborating with Netic, the organization had acquired an application that was running in AWS public cloud. As the organization works with health data and is subject to regulations such as GDPR and NIS2, they needed an alternative setup that would provide more control over personal data and ensure protection against unwanted US access.

It was an absolute requirement that the new vendor was Danish and that the solution met the highest standards for information security, including ISO 27001 certification. The organization needed a partner who could not only deliver the technical platform but also guarantee full compliance and transparency in data management.

Security and Control Through Netic’s Private Cloud

Netic now manages the operation of the Kubernetes-based platform and the underlying infrastructure on which the organization currently runs the application and several other business-critical services. The solution is a private cloud-based setup, built on Netic’s own shared solution and located in Netic’s own data center in Denmark.

This setup ensures that Netic has full control over both the shared solution and the infrastructure it runs on. For the organization, this means an improvement in data sovereignty, as they now have certainty that their sensitive health data remains on Danish soil and is subject to Danish legislation.

A Scalable Environment for a Growing Application

The Contain platform’s architecture is designed to be highly scalable. The environment has effortlessly doubled in size within a year to accommodate the organization’s growth and increasing data needs. Netic’s operational expertise and the platform’s flexibility have made the scaling smooth and efficient, without compromising security or performance.

A Two-Track Collaboration: Contain and Classic Virtual Servers

In addition to the Kubernetes-based shared solution and its infrastructure, the collaboration has expanded to also include traditional virtual servers. This means that selected services and applications now run on Netic’s classic solution, which is operated and hosted by Netic in its own data centers. This flexible approach, where Netic delivers both modern Kubernetes environments and stable virtual server solutions, has given the organization the opportunity to place each application/service in the environment that best matches its specific requirements for performance, security, and compliance.

Key Outcomes:

Full control over sensitive data: Ensured data sovereignty with hosting of critical and sensitive data with a Danish supplier.
Local and compliant operation: Applications and services are run in data centers on Danish soil by Netic, who understands and complies with GDPR and NIS2.
Certified security partner: As an ISO 27001-approved supplier, Netic proactively solves compliance challenges.
Scalable and future-proof solution: A technically robust platform that can easily grow with the customer’s needs and supports both modern and classic IT environments.
