GDPR by design: architecting immigration platforms for UK clients

Immigration platforms handle some of the most sensitive data there is. For our UK client, GDPR shaped every early decision.

Residency first

We picked the hosting region before the framework. Backups, logs and analytics followed the same rule.

Consent you can prove

Consent is versioned and timestamped per purpose, so the client can answer any regulator question in minutes.

Good privacy engineering made onboarding faster, not slower: 60% faster.

Encryption and access

  • Encryption at rest and in transit
  • Role-based access with least privilege
  • Audit logs on every document view
