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

I totally agree, data storage in Australia would be a win for my Australian business too.

Hi GHL bosses… I know we’re a smaller group down under but we urgently 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

With all the custom code AI builders, I am highly considering creating my own CRM and then self hosting it in Australia. This post has been open for almost 1 year with very little input from High Level. If they don't see how important this is for us Aussies, then we have no choice but to seek other alternatives.

Luha AI Automations what do you think the cost would be to do this? We have a mid 7 figure deal that is slipping through the cracks and I’m hanging on because AWS is local but we can’t guarantee data storage for AU data… keen to connect to discuss if you are serious about this?

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

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

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.
