Digital sovereignty - customer data control without compromising privacy

Data sovereignty and deployment control

You decide where your content lives. CoreMedia's secure content management system runs on any major cloud, in your own private cloud, or fully on-premises, and can be hosted within the EU so your content is stored and processed inside Europe, in line with GDPR requirements. Hybrid setups are supported too, so sensitive workloads can stay in your own environment while the rest scales in the cloud. For teams bound by data sovereignty and residency rules, that means you control where content sits and, through role-based access, who can reach it. As your requirements change, you can move between hosting models without losing that control. 

Built and supported in Europe

CoreMedia is developed and supported by CoreMedia GmbH in Hamburg since 1996. When both your vendor and your hosting sit under your control, you keep sovereignty over your data and know exactly where accountability lies, the assurance security-conscious organizations depend on. A European operating entity keeps your contracts, support, and escalation paths in one place, so your security and legal teams always know who is responsible for what. You can review your specific setup against the standards you answer to, working with a vendor that is clear about where it stands.

ISO

ISO 27001 certification and security controls

CoreMedia gives your security and compliance team a defensible foundation. The platform is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and GDPR-ready, with the controls enterprise security depends on: role-based access, Single Sign-On (SSO), approval workflows, and complete audit trails that record who changed what and when. 

A data processing agreement governs how data is handled. As GDPR, NIS2, DORA, and the EU AI Act raise the bar on accountability, these controls let you demonstrate compliance rather than assert it, with your content held in the EU when residency is a requirement. 

AI under your control 

CoreMedia KIO works inside your existing roles and permissions, and no content is published without editor approval. Any large language model can be used, including OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or custom models, and you keep full control over which model processes your data. Because a named editor reviews and approves every AI-assisted change before it goes live, accountability stays with a person rather than the model, in line with the EU AI Act's emphasis on human oversight. 

Benefits of secure content management

CoreMedia's content management system (CMS) runs on any cloud platform, adhering to the highest security standards and data privacy regulations. For maximum control, it can also be deployed in private cloud setups and on-premises. If you want to stay open to migrating to the cloud in the future, we’ve taken many clients on the journey without losing the control they get from on-premise.

Keep your data secure at all times while using AI and related applications. Our secure, composable, and flexible AI solutions integrate into complex existing tech infrastructures. Compatible with any large language model (LLM), including OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or custom models - you maintain full control over your preferred LLM. 

Our secure content management system collects zero- and first-party data, from direct customer interactions, CRM systems, surveys, and custom forms, for personalized experiences your team fully controls. Because the data comes directly from your customers rather than third-party trackers, you keep consent clear and reduce compliance exposure. It stays inside your environment and under your governance rules, so personalization and GDPR accountability work together rather than against each other.

Your website demands uncompromising security, exceptional performance, and enduring stability - today, in 10 years, and beyond. With open, accessible code and an API-driven architecture, seamlessly integrate any current or future channel, device, or technology while maintaining the highest standards of security and stability.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What security certifications does CoreMedia hold?

CoreMedia holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for information security management and was awarded an EcoVadis Gold rating in 2025. Both are independently audited, so your security and procurement teams can verify CoreMedia's practices rather than take them on trust.

Can CoreMedia run on-premise or in a private cloud?

Yes. CoreMedia is cloud agnostic. It runs on any major cloud, in a private cloud, or fully on-premises, and supports hybrid deployments where sensitive workloads stay in your own environment. Many clients have moved between models without losing control over where content sits.

How does a secure CMS control access?

A secure CMS limits who can see and change content through role-based access. CoreMedia assigns granular permissions by team, brand, and market, adds Single Sign-On (SSO) with encryption, and routes changes through approval workflows, so only authorized users can create, edit, approve, or publish content.

What is a CMS audit trail?

An audit trail is a complete record of every content change: who changed what, when, and what was published. CoreMedia keeps full audit logs and supports reversions, so you can trace any change, satisfy auditors, and roll back quickly if something goes wrong.

How does CoreMedia keep AI use secure?

CoreMedia KIO works inside your existing roles and permissions, and every AI suggestion requires editor approval before anything is published. You can use any large language model, including OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or custom models, and keep full control over which model processes your data.

What CMS do public institutions and governments use?

Public institutions and governments choose CoreMedia for secure, GDPR-ready content management. Users include the German Bundestag and Deutsche Bundesbank, alongside enterprises such as Henkel and Truity Credit Union. CoreMedia supports EU hosting, on-premise deployment, AI governance, and the audit controls regulated and public-sector organizations require. 

Is CoreMedia GDPR-compliant?

CoreMedia is GDPR-ready and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, providing role-based access, approval workflows, and audit logs as a defensible foundation for GDPR. Compliance is a shared responsibility between the platform and how you configure it. For EU hosting and data residency in depth, see our [GDPR-compliant, EU-hosted CMS] page.
