Secure Cloud

Canada’s Data-Resident Cloud Provider
Your Data Stays in Canada

100% Canadian-owned infrastructure. HIPPA-compliant. No US CLOUD Act exposure. Your data stays where your business lives.

Why Canadian Data Residency Matters

Every byte of data your organisation creates carries a legal address. Where that data lives determines which government can demand access to it and which laws protect it.

Partner Quotes

“Canadian data residency means your data is stored, processed, and backed up exclusively on Canadian data centre cloud infrastructure located within Canada's borders. This ensures compliance, shields your organisation from the US CLOUD Act, and keeps sensitive information subject only to Canadian law; never a foreign jurisdiction. ”

Hut 8 Secure Cloud

Secure Canadian Cloud Infrastructure Built for Control and Clarity

Hut 8 Secure Cloud delivers secure, Canadian-based cloud infrastructure for organizations that require data residency, compliance, and operational clarity, without hyperscaler complexity.

Modern cloud environments offer flexibility but often introduce:

Data residency uncertainty

Shared responsibility confusion

Cost unpredictability

Operational complexity

                                                                                                                                                            

Hut 8 Secure Cloud provides a purpose-built alternative for organizations that need cloud performance with Canadian data residency and clear accountability.

Built for Canada's Most Regulated Industries

As Canada's data-resident Canadian cloud services provider, we understand that compliance isn't a checkbox; it's the product. Every vertical below has specific data residency obligations. We've built for all of them.

Industry Solutions

Financial Services

Canada's financial sector operates under OSFI's strict technology and outsourcing guidelines, including the E-21 Technology and Cyber Risk Management guideline. Storing client data on a US-controlled platform creates third-party risk that OSFI examiners increasingly scrutinize.                      

                                                                                                                                                                    

                                                                                                                                               

Our cloud computing Canada infrastructure supports OSFI-aligned cloud adoption with documented data residency, audit-ready reporting, and incident notification workflows that meet regulatory timelines. For credit unions, FSRA and provincial regulator requirements are addressed natively.

                                                                                                                                                 

                                                                                                                                           

Use case: Regional bank migrated core banking workloads from US hyperscaler; eliminated CLOUD Act exposure and reduced annual cloud costs by 31% with CAD-denominated contracts.

Healthcare

Personal health information (PHI) is among the most sensitive data a canadian data centre cloud can hold. PHIPA in Ontario, HIA in Alberta, and equivalent provincial legislation require that PHI remain within Canadian borders and under Canadian legal jurisdiction at all times.

                                                                                                                                                

Our healthcare cloud environment is purpose-built for PHI workloads, with encrypted-at-rest and in-transit storage, role-based access controls, and breach notification processes aligned to provincial health authority requirements. No US-headquartered entity can be compelled to access your patients' records.                                                                                                              

                                                                                                                                                 

Use case: Provincial health authority moved diagnostic imaging archives and EMR data to our Canadian cloud; passed privacy commissioner review first attempt with zero remediation findings.

Government & Public Sector

Canadian government cloud procurement requires vendors to demonstrate alignment with Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) cloud guidance, Protected B classification capability, and CCCS (Canadian Centre for Cyber Security) cloud security profiles.

                                                                                                                                                

As a canadian cloud provider operating entirely within Canadian jurisdiction, we eliminate the most complex compliance barrier public sector clients face with hyperscalers: foreign government access risk. Our SCED-aligned architecture is pre-reviewed for Protected B workloads without custom contractual carve-outs.

                                                                                                                                             

                                                                                                                                                      

Use case: Crown corporation migrated document management and collaboration workloads; achieved Protected B classification approval 6 weeks ahead of project schedule.

Legal & Professional Services

Solicitor-client privilege is non-negotiable. When confidential client communications and case files are stored on a canada cloud hosting platform subject to foreign disclosure orders, privilege is at risk, regardless of intent. The Law Society of Ontario and provincial law societies have issued guidance flagging this exact risk.

                                                                                                                                             

Our canadian cloud services platform provides law firms and professional services organisations with demonstrable data residency they can communicate to clients, include in engagement letters, and defend to regulators. Privilege-sensitive data never crosses a border.

                                                                                                                                              

                                                                                                                                              

Use case: National law firm with 400+ lawyers migrated matter management and document review to our Canadian cloud; now includes data residency certification in all client engagement letters.
