GDPR and Data Security in a Cloud Service: Where Does Your Business Data Actually Live?
When a construction or property maintenance company adopts a cloud service, one of the first questions is where customer records, contracts and field reports actually end up. It is a fair question. Field work generates a steady stream of sensitive information about sites, clients and completed jobs. Raslak Hub is a European SaaS service, and all data is handled in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

Your data stays in the EU
In Raslak Hub, customer records, contracts and field reporting are stored and processed within the EU. That covers everything: service visit notes, invoicing details and photos taken on site.
In property maintenance and construction, site data can include sensitive information about premises, access arrangements or client contact details. When data does not leave the EU, meeting GDPR requirements becomes a more straightforward exercise.
Role-based access in day-to-day work
Role-based access means the company itself decides who can see what. A field technician sees their own sites and tasks, but not contract details that belong to other clients or the wider account.
A site manager can follow the status of all jobs and log deviations. As the company grows and new workers join, each person is given exactly the access level that matches their role.
In practice this means that a subcontractor in a maintenance business can access only their assigned site, without seeing the principal's full client register. Control over the data stays with the company.
Encrypted connections in the field and at the office
Raslak Hub uses encrypted connections whether someone is working at a desk or out on a site. When a technician logs a service visit on their phone, the data travels to the service over a secured connection.
This matters especially when work is carried out on a client's premises and information about the site, the tasks completed or the client is moving over a network. An encrypted connection protects data in transit even on public networks.
Field documents and reporting kept where they belong
In property maintenance and construction, documentation is a substantial part of the work: inspection reports, maintenance logs, sign-offs and site photos. All of these are produced in the field and typically contain information tied to a client or a specific location.
When documents are saved directly to Hub from a phone, they do not pass through email or sit in a technician's personal photo gallery. The information stays where it belongs: in the company's own system, within the EU.
The report comes from the same place as the work order and the invoice. The technician logs the visit, attaches photos and marks the task complete, and all of that information is stored against the right site record.
Data processing agreements and GDPR compliance
GDPR requires a company to have a data processing agreement (DPA) in place with any service provider that handles personal data on its behalf. For details about processing agreements and available security documentation, contact Raslak directly.
For many businesses, working through GDPR requirements feels complicated. In practice it comes down to three straightforward questions: where is the data, who can access it and how is transfer protected. Those three points are worth checking for any cloud service you consider.
Try it before you decide
