Lucid Software, a leader in visual collaboration technology, has announced a major step in its global data residency program with the introduction of a new data hosting region in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) market. Hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS), this expansion is part of Lucid’s ongoing efforts to enhance team collaboration while reinforcing data security across the region. The move underscores Lucid’s commitment to helping businesses meet local data compliance standards while fostering smoother and more secure collaboration for global teams.
A Commitment to Localised Solutions
Lucid Software’s continued dedication to supporting its global customer base is evident in its approach to regional compliance. “This expansion of Lucid’s data residency program in the EMEA region underscores our commitment to meeting the specific compliance needs of our local customers,” said Roderick de Greef, VP of Sales, EMEA. “By offering a dependable data residency solution, we enable organisations across the EMEA to collaborate with confidence, assured that their data remains securely stored within their region.” We believe collaboration should be effortless, and Lucid is committed to making that a reality.
Data residency refers to the practice of storing data in a specific geographical location to meet local regulatory requirements, and Lucid’s latest expansion ensures that businesses operating within the EMEA region have full control over where their data is housed. As more businesses in the EMEA area look for secure and compliant solutions, Lucid is positioning itself as a trusted partner in delivering this service.
Enhanced Data Control for Enterprise Customers
Following Lucid’s recent data residency expansion in Australia, the EMEA launch allows enterprise clients to manage where their data is securely stored. By selecting the relevant data region, organisations can meet local data residency and compliance regulations while enjoying Lucid’s full range of integrations and developer platform capabilities. This expansion also ensures enhanced product performance and reduced latency for customers across the region, improving the overall efficiency of the Lucid Suite. Lucid’s suite of tools, including Lucidchart, Lucidspark, and Lucidscale, offers unparalleled collaboration opportunities, allowing teams to work together seamlessly, regardless of their physical location.
With increased demand for solutions that meet stringent data privacy laws and industry regulations, the new EMEA data residency capability gives businesses the flexibility they need to remain compliant without sacrificing innovation. Lucid’s platform continues to evolve, giving organisations the tools they need to focus on productivity while ensuring their data remains secure.
Growth Driven by European Expansion
Since establishing its physical presence in Europe in 2018, Lucid has seen sustained growth, with increasing demand for its global data residency services. As data sovereignty becomes a growing priority for organisations in the EMEA region, Lucid’s new expansion provides the ideal platform for teams to drive innovation while maintaining robust data security standards. This new data region will also help customers across the EMEA area reduce concerns related to data transfer outside of their region.
Unwavering Commitment to Security
Lucid maintains the highest levels of data protection and security, demonstrated through various initiatives such as Enterprise Shield, compliance with GDPR, PCI requirements, and FedRAMP authorisation. Furthermore, Lucid adheres to the EU-US and Swiss-US Data Privacy Frameworks, holds ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications, and has successfully completed SOC 2 Type II audits. These certifications underscore Lucid’s commitment to offering secure and compliant solutions for its customers worldwide.
