The Australian Privacy Principles require organisations to take reasonable steps to protect personal information. Keeping data onshore is the most direct way to comply.
When data is stored overseas, it may be subject to foreign government access under laws like the US CLOUD Act. Australian-stored data stays under Australian jurisdiction.
Your clients — especially in finance, healthcare, and government — increasingly require Australian data residency. SignAndGo makes this a default, not an upgrade.
Everything. We don't split data across regions or store "just metadata" overseas.

APRA CPS 234 requires robust data governance. Australian residency simplifies compliance for ADIs and insurers.
My Health Records Act and state health privacy laws often mandate Australian data storage for patient information.
Client confidentiality obligations and professional conduct rules favour keeping sensitive legal documents onshore.
Federal and state procurement policies frequently require data to be stored within Australia. SignAndGo meets this by default.
