Data Residency for Adaface

Some Adaface customers (as per their agreement with Adaface) are now able to choose which country or region their data is stored in while fulfilling corporate policies and compliance requirements


In the not too distant past, when on-premises software was the norm, data storage was simple. Your data lived with you. Today, cloud services make data residency more complicated. Global organisations are creating their own internal policies for where data can be stored, while governments and third-party regulators are enforcing data residency requirements.

Enterprises around the world collaborate in Adaface each day for their screening requirements, but because data is primarily stored in the United States, many teams abroad remain on the sidelines. To bridge this gap – and make Adaface available to more teams in highly regulated sectors, such as financial services, the public sector and healthcare – we’re delivering data residency for Adaface.

How data residency works at Adaface

By default, Adaface is delivered as a shared multi-tenant service and all customer data is stored at rest in the United States. Where a customer requires their data to reside in a specific country or region, Adaface provisions a dedicated deployment of the platform in that region. The dedicated deployment has its own application infrastructure, its own database and its own object storage, all located in the selected region, and it is provisioned as part of the customer's agreement with Adaface.

Data residency is available on request and is subject to additional pricing. It is not enabled by default on any plan. Regional deployments are provisioned after contract signature, and lead time is agreed with your Adaface account manager.

Regions available on request:

  • United States (default)
  • Netherlands
  • Germany
  • United Kingdom
  • Canada
  • Singapore
  • India

With data residency, what type of data does Adaface store?

In a dedicated regional deployment, candidate chat history, assessment data, performance information, candidate-submitted files and database backups are all stored at rest within the selected data region.

Adaface operates application nodes in locations outside the selected data region in order to improve connectivity and latency for candidates and recruiters in other parts of the world. These nodes process requests in transit but do not store customer data at rest. Data at rest, including backups, remains in the selected data region.

I’m an existing customer. Can I move my data to a new region?

Yes. Speak with your Adaface account manager on the additional charges or plan changes that are required for moving to new residency regions.

If I move my data to a new region, will anything else change?

No. Everything remains the same for the recruiters and candidates

Industry-accepted best practices and frameworks

Our security approach focuses on security governance, risk management and compliance. This includes encryption at rest and in transit, network security and server hardening, administrative access control, system monitoring, logging and alerting, and more.

We evaluated several of their competitors and found Adaface to be the most compelling. Great library of questions that are designed to test for fit rather than memorization of algorithms.
