Sovereign Archive
010 Sovereign Archive helps organizations govern, retain, retrieve and recover critical information. Archived data is stored within Canadian borders and managed by our team in Ontario.
Data residency alone does not establish sovereignty
Location matters. Control matters more.
| Dimension | Storage thinking | Sovereignty thinking |
|---|---|---|
| Data | Where data lives | Who controls it |
| Retention | How long it is kept | Who sets retention |
| Access | Access controls | Access governance |
| Recovery | Recoverability assumed | Retrieval validated |
| Administration | Technical administration | Decision authority |
| Operating model | Hosting | Stewardship |
The foundation
Keep information for as long as policy and obligations require.
Limit who can see and change it, and record who did.
Find and return information when it is needed.
Keep information intact and readable over time.
Delete information securely when retention ends, with a certificate as proof.
Governance
An archive needs clear decisions about who owns information, how long it is kept, who can access it, and who can approve its release or deletion. These decisions should follow information from creation to retrieval.
Retrieval
What to protect
Corporate, client and regulatory records.
Documents that must be kept and produced on request.
Designs, procedures and project history.
Information that older systems no longer hold.
Questions
Backup protects recent copies so systems can be restored. Archive keeps information over the long term so it can be governed and retrieved when needed.
Archived data is stored within Canadian borders, and our support team manages the infrastructure from Ontario. You choose where your archive is held: we can deploy it at any location in Canada to meet your data-residency requirements. We help you understand who administers it and which decisions remain with your organization.
Retrieval is tested as part of the service, and on request, so the archive is known to return information, not just to hold it.
Your organization decides who can access, release or dispose of information. 010 supports the governance around those decisions.
Start with a Recovery Assurance Assessment, which includes archive and information governance.
