Why We Chose a European Cloud Provider
Sustainability initiatives 🌱
Scaleway is leading the industry with its sustainability initiatives. Its data centers use only renewable energy and have the lowest water consumption in Europe. Its Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) rating of 1.37 is significantly below the industry average and demonstrates its commitment to environmentally friendly operations.
GDPR, running in the background
The GDPR can quickly become a burden if it relies on manual processes and people’s memories. That’s why we’ve built features that make data processing simpler, more systematic, and less vulnerable.
With our talent bank, you can automate a key part of the consent and retention process: candidates are automatically notified after 6 months, so the database becomes self-maintaining, and you avoid having personal data sit around gathering dust without a decision being made.
Among other things, this means:
- Automated GDPR management in the talent pool — candidates are automatically contacted after 6 months, making it easier for you to manage consent and data retention
- Less manual follow-up — the system helps with the routines that are often overlooked in a busy workday
- Better data discipline — You’ll benefit from a more structured and accountable approach to handling personal data
- Peace of mind — GDPR will become an integral part of your operations, not something you only remember when someone asks
Controlled access
Security is also about internal controls. You need to be able to control who has access to what, so that personal data is only available to those employees who actually need it.
Among other things, this allows you to:
- On-demand user management — relevant users are granted access to relevant information
- More secure handling of employee and candidate data — sensitive information is not shared unnecessarily across the organization
- Better everyday processes — data is managed within the system rather than through insecure workflows involving emails, documents, and manual files
- More secure self-service—employees can update relevant information themselves within the appropriate parameters
