Content governed with retention policies
Shelter's modern SharePoint intranet uses retention labels and policies to keep content governed and compliant.
Sovereign intranets
An intranet that keeps your data where it belongs.
For organisations that want to avoid US-based data hosting, we build intranets on the Microsoft Sovereign Cloud or on non-Microsoft platforms hosted outside the US. The platform is chosen to match your data residency requirements in the UK, EU or another jurisdiction, with support for GDPR, DORA and other regional rules.
