Varonis Opens UK Data Center to Support SaaS Customers

Expansion allows Varonis customers to achieve automated data security outcomes while following data privacy principles


NEW YORK and LONDON, Aug. 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Varonis Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRNS), a leader in data security, today announced its first data center in the U.K. to support customers moving to Varonis' SaaS offering. The new data center, located in London, will help Varonis customers demonstrate compliance with national data protection laws and enable them to leverage Varonis' world-class automation, visibility, and support.

The new data center will help Varonis meet growing demand in the U.K., where organizations must follow data protection principles under the Data Protection Act that control how organizations, businesses, and the government use personal information. Many U.K. companies also operate within the EU and must adhere to the GDPR.

"Our data center paves the way for customers to adopt Varonis' SaaS offering," said Varonis VP and General Manager, U.K. and Germany, Mark Wilcox. "Our customers — from hospitals safeguarding patient data, to government departments and companies securing employee and customer PII — will be able to show that security logs and analytics related to this data are kept locally. Varonis' unprecedented visibility into data and permissions and game-changing automation will help customers ensure sensitive data is used responsibly."

"With Varonis' strategic launch of a U.K.-hosted SaaS tenant, we're not just enhancing our data security and compliance, we're building on our agility in the digital landscape," said Stuart Powell, CISO at the Government of Jersey. "This move resonates with our dedication to local regulations and our unwavering commitment to delivering value for our stakeholders."

Varonis is making automated outcomes a reality for customers. Customers benefit from Proactive Incident Response, an expert team of cybersecurity professionals who watch and investigate customer alerts as part of the Varonis SaaS subscription. Varonis' automated posture management helps customers effortlessly remediate security and compliance gaps across their SaaS and IaaS environments.
