Server Location Germany: Your Guarantee for GDPR & Data Security

The digitalization of your security service is unstoppable. COREDINATE increases efficiency. But where is your sensitive operational data stored?

This question is not a technical triviality. It is a strategic decision for data security and legal clarity. The physical location of the server determines which law applies to your data.

For COREDINATE, having our servers located in Germany is therefore a central component of our security promise, underpinned by recognized certificates.

• Legal Certainty Through German Location: COREDINATE guarantees the exclusive application of the GDPR and effectively protects your data from access by foreign laws like the US Cloud Act.
• Tested Quality & Security: Our quality management is certified according to ISO 9001:2015. Our software and cloud services are distinguished by the "Software Made in Germany" and "Cloud Services Made in Germany" seals of approval.

What is the Risk of the US Cloud Act?

International cloud providers seem attractive at first glance. But with providers that have ties to the US, there is a legal risk: the US CLOUD Act.

The "Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act" (CLOUD Act) is a US federal law that authorizes US authorities to demand the release of data from US technology companies – regardless of where the data is stored.

This is in direct conflict with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which prioritizes the protection of EU citizens' data. This creates a legal uncertainty that we consistently eliminate for our customers.

Proven Quality: Our Certificates as Your Promise

At COREDINATE, we don't just make claims. We have our high standards audited and confirmed by independent bodies. This transparency gives you the confidence to make the right decision.

TÜV SÜD Certified Quality Management (ISO 9001:2015)

Our entire company, from development and manufacturing to sales, is subject to a strict quality management system that is certified by TÜV SÜD according to ISO 9001:2015. This guarantees you reliable processes, high product quality, and continuous improvement.

Award-Winning: "Software Made in Germany" & "Cloud Services Made in Germany"

The seals of approval from the Federal Association of IT for SMEs (BITMi) confirm what we practice every day:

• Software Made in Germany: Our software is developed entirely in Germany and stands for the highest engineering skill, quality, and German-speaking support.
• Cloud Services Made in Germany: This seal emphasizes three crucial quality features: servers located in Germany, excellent customer service, and uncompromising data protection.

Recognized by the Industry: GIT SECURITY AWARD

The fact that our approach is convincing is also demonstrated by recognition from industry experts: COREDINATE^® was selected as a Finalist for the GIT SECURITY AWARD by a jury with representatives from BHE, TÜV, VDMA, and ZVEI.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the main advantage of having servers located in Germany?

The crucial advantage is legal certainty. Only German and EU data protection laws (GDPR) apply. This effectively protects your data from access by foreign authorities, as enabled by the US Cloud Act.

Is my data with a US provider secure if the server is in Germany?

Not necessarily. The US Cloud Act can compel US companies to hand over data, regardless of the server location. A purely German provider like COREDINATE, whose commitment to Germany is confirmed by seals of approval, offers the highest level of security here.
