SiteDocs Data Hosting

Where is my SiteDocs Data Stored?

Our data is securely hosted with Microsoft Azure either in the USA or Canada. Customer have the option to choose their Data Center when their account is created. For more information on how your SiteDocs data is securely stored, please click here.

Our company doesn’t allow data storage in the USA or Canada, what can we do?

Some companies have policies regarding data storage.  Typically the concern is regarding the Patriot Act, which allows the NSA to request that Microsoft give access to data in it’s data center.  

1. It’s difficult to imagine that the NSA or USA Government would have any need to request a company's safety documents and information from Microsoft.
2. Poor passwords, or user error are far more likely to result in data being viewed by unauthorized parties than having data hosted in the USA.

Our opinion is that there isn’t any significant risk in having data from an organization in a Canadian or USA Data Center.

Even if the risk is low, our company policy is non-negotiable, what can we do?

We do understand that some organizations have these data policies in place for a wider variety of reasons and so in these cases, some companies have reached a compromise with their IT department by limiting SiteDocs worker data to just first and last names.  

Will SiteDocs ever host data in other countries?

SiteDocs launched a Canadian Data Center in 2026. We are currently in the process of evaluating further multi-region hosting, stay tuned for updates in the future! If you have a specific country that you would like to see added as a storage option, please let our Support Team know at [e-mail] and they can pass the request on to the Development Team for consideration.
