Data Residency vs. SaaS Flexibility — Choosing the Right GRC Deployment Model

Written by

For global enterprises, choosing the right GRC deployment model isn’t just a tech decision — it’s a risk decision.

You need the power of SaaS. But you also need control over your data — sometimes to meet legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations.

Here’s how we break it down:

SaaS: Fastest time to value, low maintenance, global scalability
Private Cloud: Greater data residency control, regional hosting, full-featured
On-Prem: Ultimate control — but comes with overhead and complexity

LockThreat supports all three — and we let customers choose based on what fits their industry, geography, and internal risk posture.

What matters is flexibility.
GRC shouldn't force you into a model that doesn’t work for your business.
