Data storage for Australian Agencies & sub-accounts in Australian Data Centres

under review

Sohaib Khan

I run my SaaS business here in Australia, and all my clients are Australian based businesses. I often lose deals when potential customers ask whether their data is stored on AWS servers within Australia or overseas.
At the moment, I have to explain that the data is stored on the AWS cloud by GHL in geographically dispersed locations, and unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee it stays within Australia.
This has become a major sticking point, especially for some of my larger clients. And it’s often a deal breaker. I end up losing opportunities simply because I can’t provide certainty around local data storage.
Please consider having an option for Australian agencies, or sub-accounts based in Australia, where they can choose to store their data exclusively in Australian data centres

Hi GHL bosses… I know we’re a smaller group down under but we yourgently need region-specific data residency options PRETTY PLEASE 🙏🏽 . AWS already operates fully compliant data centres in Sydney and recently Melbourne, so the infrastructure clearly exists. The missing piece is giving us the ability to choose and guarantee that our CRM and platform data is stored within our own country of operation.
For many of us, this isn’t just a “nice to have”, it’s a compliance, sovereignty, and trust requirement. Clients in regulated industries (health, finance, government, education) increasingly require confirmation that their data remains within Australia under Australian law. 
PLEASE HELP AND THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Please bring in local data storage for Australia as that would explode HighLevel business here!

I support this!!!! Also would love if we add a server down here to speed things up!!! :)

Definitely in the same boat unable to utilise in a variety of projects across sectors including NDIS due to data sovereignty rules.

Andrew Cockburn

like you looking forward to this.

Ben .

And also do the same thing for Canada. It has similar rules.

Please prioritise hosting GHL instances and data in an Australian data centre, for example on AWS or Azure. This is increasingly a mandatory legal and compliance requirement across many Australian customer sectors, including financial services, healthcare, and ASX listed companies.

Eden Irwin I agree, I have aws now, but obvs so many of my tools are hosted in the usa :(

Andrew Cockburn

There are multiple threads for this… please push forward. Education and non-profit are also a sectors that are almost impossible without local

100% same experience - the insurance industry has a lot of compliance and regulation around data being stored exclusively in Aus.

Is there a way to assign Australian sub-accounts exclusively to the AWS and Google Cloud data centres that are local?
