Can a self-hosted Zapier alternative keep EU workflow data in the EU?
Yes, a self-hosted n8n or Activepieces deployment can keep workflow data, credentials and run logs inside your own EU infrastructure, but residency is a property of where you deploy the software and which processors touch the data, not of the software itself. Zapier runs as a hosted service on AWS in the United States, so an EU organization using it sends workflow payloads, connection credentials and run history to a third country. Under GDPR Article 44, every transfer of personal data to a third country, including onward transfers, must meet Chapter V conditions, and the EDPB's *Guidelines 05/2021* treat storage in a cloud outside the EEA as a transfer. Moving the runtime to an EU cloud account or data center you control removes that transfer for the workflow engine itself.
Confirm four things before you rely on that. First, list every system the workflow touches, because a self-hosted n8n that calls a US SaaS API still transfers the fields it sends to that API. Second, check where the database (PostgreSQL in both platforms' production setups), Redis queue and backups physically reside, including snapshots and logs. Third, in n8n queue mode, the main instance's encryption key must be shared with every worker and webhook processor, so every node holding credentials must sit under the same key management and access controls. Fourth, if you use a managed hosting provider, assess whether it is subject to third-country law with extraterritorial reach, since the EDPB's Example 12 says compliance with a third-country authority request would itself be a transfer. Whether that exposure is acceptable is a decision for your data protection officer and legal team, not for the software vendor.
Also note the license boundary. n8n's Sustainable Use License permits internal business use, and features in .ee files need an n8n Enterprise License, so check whether you need SSO, log streaming or Git environments before choosing an edition. Activepieces' Community edition is MIT licensed, but its audit logs, SCIM and external secret manager features sit in the commercial Ultimate tier, which may matter for residency evidence. Ask the vendor or your counsel to confirm how each license applies to your intended deployment.
What GDPR Chapter V and related rules require for workflow data
Workflow data often includes personal data in payloads, credentials and run logs, so every copy that leaves the EEA is a transfer. The cards below set out the rules that decide where that data can sit, who can compel access to it, and what your team must check before choosing a hosting location.
Every transfer needs a Chapter V basis
Article 44 of the GDPR requires that every transfer of personal data to a third country, including onward transfers, meets the conditions of Chapter V. For a Zapier workflow, the data path runs through Zapier's US-hosted infrastructure, so you would need a transfer mechanism and a documented assessment before any personal data passes through it. Self-hosting in your own EU infrastructure removes that path for the workflow engine itself, but you still need to check every connected SaaS app, webhook receiver and log sink that sits outside the EEA.
Storage and remote access count as transfers
EDPB Guidelines 05/2021 (version 2.0) state that storing data in a cloud outside the EEA is a transfer. They also say that remote access from a third country is a transfer, even when the person only views data on a screen for support or administration. Ask who can open your n8n or Activepieces instance from outside the EEA, including vendor support staff, and whether any backup, monitoring or log shipping service stores copies abroad.
Third-country disclosure orders need treaties
Article 48 of the GDPR allows a third-country court judgment or administrative decision requiring disclosure of personal data to be recognized or enforced only when it rests on an international agreement, such as a mutual legal assistance treaty, in force with the Union or a Member State. The US CLOUD Act provision at 18 U.S.C. 2713 requires US providers to preserve or disclose data in their possession, custody or control wherever it is located. Ask any cloud vendor whether it is a US-parented provider, because that exposure follows the provider even when the servers sit in the EU.
Schrems II and the Data Privacy Framework
In Case C-311/18 (Schrems II), decided on 16 July 2020, the Court of Justice invalidated the EU-US Privacy Shield while holding that standard contractual clauses remained valid. Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2023/1795 now finds adequate protection only for US organizations on the Data Privacy Framework List. An appeal against the General Court's September 2025 judgment upholding that decision is pending as Case C-703/25 P, so your transfer position may change. Confirm the current status with your legal team before relying on any framework.
Check the vendor's own hosting path
Self-hosting moves the workflow runtime into your infrastructure, but the license and the update channel still matter. Confirm which components in your chosen edition send telemetry, license checks or update requests to a vendor endpoint, and where those requests are processed. Record the answers in your records of processing and in the transfer assessment, so a later audit can trace each flow of workflow data from start to finish.
Where Zapier's US hosting meets and fails the constraint
Zapier stores data on AWS in the United States, so for EU organizations the constraint starts with transfers. Under the EDPB's Guidelines 05/2021 (version 2.0), storing personal data in a cloud outside the EEA is a transfer, and so is remote access from a third country, even when someone only views data on a screen for support or administration. That means a US-hosted automation platform is in scope of GDPR Chapter V whenever Zapier's systems hold workflow payloads, credentials or run logs that contain personal data, and whenever Zapier or its sub-processors access them from outside the EEA. Before relying on any transfer tool, map which Zap data fields carry personal data, which ones are only metadata, and which Zapier personnel or sub-processors can reach them.
The harder question is government access. The US CLOUD Act provision at 18 U.S.C. 2713 requires electronic communication and remote computing service providers to preserve or disclose data in their possession, custody or control, regardless of whether that data sits inside or outside the United States. The EDPB's Recommendations 01/2020 state that where a cloud provider needs access to data in the clear and the destination's public authority powers go beyond what is necessary and proportionate, it cannot envision an effective technical supplementary measure. Encryption managed by the provider therefore does not settle the question for a US-hosted service, and a data protection impact assessment should record this exposure as a residual risk. Ask Zapier directly for its current data processing agreement, its sub-processor list with hosting locations, its process for handling government requests, and whether any EU hosting option exists for your account type. Those terms are the vendor's to state, and they change, so confirm them in writing rather than relying on this page.
Which open-source options fit an EU residency requirement
n8n is the option most teams with EU residency needs evaluate first. When you self-host it, workflow definitions, execution data and stored credentials sit in the PostgreSQL database and file storage you run, so you choose the region and the operator. Nothing in the product requires a US-hosted control plane, and the documented installs include Docker Compose and major cloud providers, which lets you pick an EU region. The license and feature set shape the decision more than hosting does.
- Community edition: Without a license key, n8n runs as the free Community edition. It is the default for a self-hosted install and carries no feature gating beyond the license terms.
- Sustainable Use License: The main codebase permits use for your own internal business purposes or non-commercial use. It is source-available, not OSI open source, so offering n8n as a hosted service to others is outside it.
- Enterprise files: Files with
.eein their name or directory are not covered by the Sustainable Use License and need a valid n8n Enterprise License. - Business and Enterprise features: SSO and LDAP, environments with Git and log streaming are included only in the Business and Enterprise plans. SAML single sign-on is documented for those plans, and multi-main high availability is limited to Enterprise self-hosted deployments.
- Queue mode key handling: In queue mode, the main instance's encryption key must be shared with every worker and webhook processor so they can read stored credentials. Store that key in your secrets process.
Confirm with n8n whether your intended use fits the Sustainable Use License and which edition covers the features you need before you design the EU deployment.
Activepieces is the option to consider when an OSI-approved license matters to your procurement or legal team. Its community edition is MIT licensed, so you can self-host the automation core in an EU region without a source-available restriction. Residency works the same way as any self-hosted tool: flows, connections and run data stay in the PostgreSQL and Redis instances you operate. The main trade-off is that governance features sit in paid tiers.
- MIT community core: The community edition is MIT (Expat) licensed. Code under
packages/eeand the enterprise API path is under a separate commercial license, so check which directories your install uses. - Installation: The project recommends Docker Compose with PostgreSQL and Redis and offers a Helm chart for Kubernetes. Community-maintained templates usually ship the Community edition.
- SSO from Team: The pricing page places SSO at the Team plan, which is listed for a cloud or self-hosted commercial subscription. Confirm current terms before budgeting.
- Ultimate-only controls: Audit logs, Git sync and releases, SCIM and external secret managers are listed only for the Ultimate plan, which can run in the cloud or on premises. Many EU regulated teams will need at least audit logs and SCIM, so price that tier explicitly.
- Commercial embedding: Embedding with a white-label builder and SDK is a separate offer on the pricing page.
Ask the vendor which features run in your chosen edition and confirm in writing that your EU install will not depend on any vendor-hosted component.
Windmill is a narrower option, built for teams that want to write automations as scripts and run them as jobs. It fits EU residency for the same reason as other self-hosted tools: scripts, variables, job logs and credentials stay in the PostgreSQL database you connect. Its documented self-hosting paths, Docker Compose and Kubernetes Helm charts, support external managed PostgreSQL services. Windmill suits engineering teams more than business users who need a visual, app-by-app builder.
- Licensing by build: Source compiled without the enterprise feature flag is under AGPLv3 and Apache-2.0. Prebuilt Community Edition images include proprietary code that is free for internal use.
- Commercial limits: Managed services or reselling require a commercial license, so a shared service for other organizations needs a separate agreement.
- Managed database: External PostgreSQL such as AWS RDS, GCP Cloud SQL or Azure is supported, so you can keep the database in an EU region you already audit.
- Skill requirement: Workflows are primarily code, which raises the bar for non-engineers and shifts ownership of changes to developers.
- Connector depth: Confirm the specific SaaS connectors you depend on, since the catalog differs from n8n and Activepieces.
Verify the image you deploy, since the license terms depend on whether you build from source or use prebuilt images.
Node-RED is a low-code, flow-based tool for event-driven applications. It is an OpenJS Foundation project under Apache-2.0, which gives the clearest open license among the options here. For EU residency, it is most useful when the data moves between internal systems, devices and HTTP endpoints you already host in the EU, because it has fewer ready-made SaaS connectors than the other options. Residency depends on where you run the Node-RED instance and what its flows persist.
- Apache-2.0 license: The project is released under Apache-2.0 and hosted by the OpenJS Foundation, with no commercial edition tied to the core.
- Internal data flows: It suits flows that read sensors, message queues, databases and internal APIs inside an EU network.
- Limited SaaS connectors: Expect to build or find nodes for cloud SaaS applications, and review each third-party node for where it sends data.
- Operations burden: The team that runs it also owns authentication, access control, backups and patching, because the tool does not supply a governance layer on its own.
- Credential storage: Review how flow credentials are encrypted at rest and who can export flows, since exported flows can contain secrets.
Confirm that every node you depend on keeps data inside your EU boundary before you treat Node-RED as a residency-compliant option.
How n8n, Activepieces and Windmill compare on residency and licensing
This table compares hosting control, license terms, SSO availability, multi-main high availability and license exposure for internal versus commercial use. Read it as a checklist of what you must confirm with each vendor before you place EU personal data and credentials on a self-hosted install. Self-hosting keeps the data path in your infrastructure, but the license tier you choose decides which governance features you can use.
| Criterion | n8n | Activepieces | Windmill |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting control | Self-hosted Community edition runs with Docker Compose or major cloud providers. You choose the region and keep workflow data, credentials and run logs in your EU infrastructure. | Recommended self-hosting uses Docker Compose with PostgreSQL and Redis, plus a Helm chart for Kubernetes. Confirm which hosting templates ship the Community edition. | Self-hosting uses Docker Compose or Kubernetes Helm charts, with external PostgreSQL such as AWS RDS, GCP Cloud SQL or Azure. Confirm the region of every managed database you attach. |
| License terms | Sustainable Use License: internal business use, or non-commercial or personal use. Source-available, not OSI open source. | Community edition is MIT licensed. Code under packages/ee and the ee server directory uses a separate commercial license. | AGPLv3 and Apache-2.0 for code built without the enterprise flag. Prebuilt images include proprietary code free for internal use. |
| SSO availability by edition | SAML SSO is available on Business and Enterprise plans only. Confirm the edition you need before you plan identity integration. | SSO starts at the Team plan. Audit logs, SCIM and external secret managers are listed only for Ultimate. | Confirm with Windmill which SSO and audit features sit in the enterprise build or a commercial license. |
| Multi-main high availability | Multi-main setup is restricted to Enterprise self-hosted deployments. Community and n8n Cloud do not offer it. | Confirm with Activepieces whether high availability is available in the Community edition or only in paid tiers. | Confirm with Windmill how high availability and worker scaling are licensed for your deployment. |
| License exposure for internal use | Internal business use is permitted. Files with .ee in their name require an n8n Enterprise License, so keep them out of your build. | Internal use of the MIT Community edition carries low license exposure. Keep enterprise directories and their commercial terms in mind. | Internal use of prebuilt images is free. Managed services or reselling need a commercial license. |
| License exposure for commercial use | Offering n8n as a paid service to customers falls outside the Sustainable Use License. Confirm the terms with n8n before you resell or embed it. | Embedding Activepieces in another product is a separate commercial offer. Confirm terms and pricing directly with the vendor. | Managed services or reselling require a commercial license. Confirm scope with Windmill before you offer it to third parties. |
| Credential storage in distributed setups | In queue mode, the main instance's encryption key must be shared with worker and webhook nodes. Confirm key handling in your secrets process. | Confirm how encryption keys and connections are stored when PostgreSQL and Redis run across several hosts. | Confirm where encrypted secrets are stored when using external PostgreSQL and multiple workers. |
| What the buyer must confirm | Edition, license for your use case, SSO tier, and where each component runs for GDPR Chapter V analysis. | Edition, which ee features you need, and whether hosted or embedded use changes license terms. | Edition, enterprise feature flag use, and commercial terms for any managed or resold service. |
How to deploy self-hosted n8n or Activepieces in EU infrastructure
This sequence moves Zapier workflows into a self-hosted runtime in your own EU infrastructure, with the processor, hosting location, encryption key, access controls and data flows documented before any production workflow runs.
Confirm processor and hosting locations in writing
Your data protection lead, procurement team and legal counsel confirm where each component will run, who operates it and which third parties could receive personal data. For a self-hosted design, the main question is whether any cloud account, managed database, backup service or support provider sits outside the EEA or is subject to third-country law with extraterritorial reach. Ask any hosting or implementation partner to put these answers in writing. The step is done when the list of locations, operators and sub-processors is signed off and linked to your record of processing activities.
Choose the EU region and account
Your infrastructure team selects an EU region and a cloud account, or an on-premises data center, that the organization already controls. Confirm that backups, logs, object storage and snapshots are pinned to the same jurisdiction and that no replication setting sends them elsewhere. Record who holds administrative access to the account and which support channels could expose data on screen. The step is done when the account, region and access list are recorded and each storage location has been checked against the approved list.
Deploy with Docker Compose or Kubernetes
The platform team deploys the chosen tool, either n8n or Activepieces, using the vendor's documented Docker Compose or Kubernetes installation, with PostgreSQL and Redis as the supporting services. Use managed or self-run PostgreSQL in the same EU region and keep the database encrypted at rest. Confirm which edition you are installing, because community-maintained templates often ship the Community edition. The step is done when the main instance starts, connects to PostgreSQL and Redis, and a test workflow runs inside the EU network.
Configure queue mode with the shared encryption key
If you need separate workers for load, the platform team sets up queue mode so the main instance handles triggers and webhooks while workers execute runs through Redis. Every worker and webhook processor must receive the main instance's encryption key so it can decrypt stored credentials. Store that key in your secrets manager, restrict who can read it and record its rotation procedure, since losing or exposing it affects every stored credential. The step is done when a test execution completes on a worker and the key handling is documented.
Set up single sign-on where the edition supports it
The identity team checks whether your edition includes single sign-on before planning this step. For n8n, SAML single sign-on is available on the Business and Enterprise plans, so a Community install will need local accounts with strict password and access controls. For Activepieces, SSO starts at its Team plan on the vendor's pricing page, and audit logs and SCIM sit in a higher tier. Confirm current entitlements with the vendor before you rely on them. The step is done when administrator and user access follows your identity policy, or when local account controls are documented as the compensating measure.
Restrict outbound network egress
The network team limits outbound traffic from the workflow runtime to the endpoints your workflows actually call, such as approved SaaS APIs and internal systems. Block general internet egress and route approved traffic through a controlled proxy or firewall rules that log destinations. Remove any default allowance that would let a workflow send data to a region outside the EEA. The step is done when a test workflow reaches an approved endpoint, a call to an unapproved host fails, and the rules are stored with the configuration.
Migrate Zaps from the JSON export and recreate connections
The automation team uses the JSON export from Zapier as an inventory of Zaps, then rebuilds each one as a workflow in the self-hosted tool. Zapier's export only works on Team and Enterprise plans, and the file is a reference for rebuilding rather than something the new platform imports directly. Recreate every app connection inside the new runtime so credentials are stored under your encryption key, and turn each rebuilt workflow on only after checking its triggers and mappings. The step is done when each Zap has a rebuilt counterpart, tested against sample data, and its old credentials are revoked in Zapier.
Document data flows and retention
The compliance lead records, for each workflow, the personal data categories, sources, destinations, storage locations, retention period and deletion method, and links the record to the processor and hosting decisions from the first step. Include execution logs, which often contain payloads, and set how long they are kept and who may read them. Ask any external auditor or assessor which evidence they expect, since preparing documentation is not the same as an assessment outcome. The step is done when the data flow register is approved and each workflow has a named owner and retention rule.
What stays with your organization after the move
Self-hosting changes where the workflow data is processed, but it does not change who is accountable for it. Once n8n or Activepieces runs in your EU infrastructure, your organization remains the controller, and every third-party app a workflow calls is still a recipient you must assess. Each connector that sends personal data to a SaaS provider outside the EEA needs its own transfer analysis under Chapter V of the GDPR, its own processor terms and its own record in your processing register. A self-hosted engine removes one transfer, the one to Zapier's US hosting, but a Slack, CRM or email connector in a workflow can still create a new one. Inventory the apps each workflow touches before you call the migration compliant.
The operational duties also move entirely onto your team. You own the database and its backups, the restore tests, operating system and container patching, and the upgrade path for the workflow engine. You own the encryption key that n8n requires to read stored credentials, including where it is kept, who can see it and how it is rotated, and in queue mode you must share that key with every worker and webhook processor. Access reviews for editors, admins and API credentials, logging of workflow changes and executions, and the incident response plan that covers leaked credentials or a compromised webhook are all yours. Confirm the audit and log streaming features in your chosen edition, because the pricing pages place some of them in paid tiers.
Exit planning is the last item to settle. The EU Data Act gives customers of data processing services a right to switch to another provider or to on-premises infrastructure, with notice and transition periods, and bans switching charges from 12 January 2027 (Articles 25, 29 and 50 of Regulation (EU) 2023/2854). Treat that as context for negotiating with any hosted vendor you keep, not as a substitute for your own export plan. Article 32 of the same regulation concerns non-personal data and government access, so it does not govern the personal data in your workflows. Keep your workflow definitions in version control and document the credential inventory so a future move is a rebuild, not a rescue.
Questions EU teams ask before changing workflow platforms
Does self-hosting n8n or Activepieces remove GDPR transfer obligations?
No. Self-hosting changes the analysis but does not remove it. If workflow data, credentials and run logs sit in your own EU infrastructure, you avoid storing personal data with a US-hosted processor, which is the main transfer question for this workflow. Your obligations still apply: you remain the controller for data your workflows process, and any third-party SaaS connector a workflow calls (CRM, email, ticketing) can still create a transfer to a third country. The EDPB's Guidelines 05/2021 also treat remote access from a third country, even just displaying data, as a transfer, so support access by a vendor outside the EEA needs its own review. Map every connector and every person who can see the data.
What does a self-hosted workflow migration cost, and what drives it up?
The cost has four components: the software license or subscription, the infrastructure you run it on, the work to rebuild workflows and connections, and ongoing maintenance and support. The software is free for the Community editions of n8n and Activepieces, but n8n's Sustainable Use License limits some commercial use, and n8n's Business plan lists 667 euros per month billed annually on its pricing page. Rebuilding is usually the largest one-time item and grows with the number of Zaps, custom code steps and connectors without a ready piece. Recurring costs include hosting, backups, upgrades and on-call time. Ask any partner for a quote that lists each component separately, the workflows in scope, the connectors to build, and who performs upgrades after go-live.
How long does the migration take?
The duration depends on scope, not on a fixed rule. The main variables are how many Zaps you run, how many are business-critical, how many need custom connectors, and how many touch regulated personal data that needs a data protection impact assessment. Zapier's JSON export is useful for inventory, because the help center explains that Team and Enterprise owners can export all Zaps, but it does not recreate connections, so every app login must be rebuilt. We do not publish durations. DeployOpen agrees timelines in writing as part of a fixed scope before work starts, so ask for a phased plan that separates inventory, pilot workflows, cutover and decommissioning of the Zapier account.
Can an in-house team run a self-hosted workflow platform?
Often yes, if the team already operates containers, PostgreSQL and secrets, and has an on-call rotation. n8n documents Docker Compose and major cloud providers as install paths, and Activepieces recommends Docker Compose with PostgreSQL and Redis, with a Helm chart for Kubernetes. Queue mode in n8n adds Redis, worker pools and a shared encryption key that every worker must hold, so credential handling needs careful key management. High availability with several main instances is limited to n8n Enterprise self-hosted deployments. Check whether your team can own upgrades, backups, key rotation, monitoring and security patches on a schedule, and whether it can staff that work during holidays. If not, a retainer for upgrades and support is a common option.
What should a quote for this work include?
A quote should follow from a written scope and name every deliverable. Ask for the following: an inventory of workflows and connectors in scope, the target platform and edition, the hosting architecture in your EU accounts or data centers, the credential and encryption key approach, backup and restore testing, the migration plan with cutover criteria, documentation, and handover. Ask also whether the quote covers data protection documentation you need for your own records, such as your transfer map, records of processing and the impact assessment, and be clear that DeployOpen prepares evidence but does not issue audit reports or certifications. Finally, ask what is one-time and what is a recurring retainer, and what triggers a change order.
How do I handle the Community edition versus paid editions?
Start with the license question, then the feature question. n8n's Community edition is free to run, but its main codebase is under the Sustainable Use License, which permits internal business use and non-commercial use, and files with .ee in their name require an n8n Enterprise License. Its SSO, LDAP, Git environments and log streaming are listed only in Business and Enterprise plans. Activepieces Community Edition is MIT licensed, while packages/ee is under a commercial license, and its audit logs, SCIM and external secret managers are listed only for Ultimate. Community-maintained templates often ship the Community edition. Confirm each license with the vendor and your legal team, and decide which governance features you must have before you choose the edition.
What auditors and regulators ask to see
Auditors and data protection authorities rarely accept a statement that data stays in the EU. They ask for documents that show where data flows, who can reach it, how it is protected and which license terms govern the software. The five items below connect those questions to what your own environment must produce.
Records of processing and data flow maps
Article 30 of the GDPR requires controllers to keep records of processing activities. For this page, the record should show every workflow that handles personal data, the systems each step touches (CRM, mailboxes, payment tools), and every point where data leaves your EU infrastructure, including logs and error alerts. Check that the map covers credentials and run history, not only the workflow logic, because those are the parts most often forgotten.
Transfer impact assessments per processor
Each third party that receives personal data through a workflow needs its own transfer assessment: the SaaS connectors your flows call, any hosted AI model, and your own cloud or hosting provider if it is a US company. EDPB Guidelines 05/2021 treat remote access from a third country as a transfer, so support access by a vendor outside the EEA counts. Ask each connector vendor where it stores and accesses data, and record the answer.
Hosting location and encryption configuration
Keep the deployment manifests, Compose files or Helm values, and the database and storage settings that show where the n8n or Activepieces instance, its PostgreSQL database and its Redis store run. For n8n queue mode, the encryption key that protects stored credentials must be shared with every worker and webhook processor, so record how that key is generated, stored and rotated. Confirm that backups are also kept inside the EU.
Access control and SSO records
Export the user list, role assignments and login configuration, and show who can open credentials, edit workflows and read execution logs. SAML single sign-on in n8n is listed for the Business and Enterprise plans, so if you rely on it, the identity provider configuration and the access review records are the evidence. Community Edition installs need their own account and password controls documented, since SSO is not part of that edition.
License evidence for the chosen edition
Keep a written record that your use of the software matches its license. n8n's main codebase is under the Sustainable Use License, which covers internal business use but not managed services or resale, and files marked .ee need an Enterprise License. Activepieces Community code is MIT licensed, with separate commercial terms for packages/ee. Record the edition you run, the license key status and the reason it fits your use, and have counsel confirm the position.
How DeployOpen deploys n8n or Activepieces under an EU residency constraint
DeployOpen plans, implements, hardens and documents self-hosted open-source platforms inside your own cloud accounts, data centers or air-gapped networks. For an EU residency project, that means the workflow engine, its database, credentials, run logs and backups are placed in infrastructure you control, with the residency boundaries agreed in writing before any build starts.
How we scope
- Map every workflow, connected SaaS app and data category that would touch EU personal data.
- Record which systems would store data in the clear and where each one is hosted.
- Agree in writing the deliverables, timelines and responsibilities, since most engagements are fixed-scope.
How we build
- Deploy n8n or Activepieces with PostgreSQL and Redis in the EU region you specify.
- Configure encryption key handling, backups and access controls for credentials and run data.
- Test workflows, webhooks and failure paths, then document the configuration and data flows.
How we hand over
- Deliver architecture diagrams, data flow records and runbooks for your operations team.
- Document the license edition in use and the terms that apply to your internal use.
- Provide evidence of controls for your own compliance assessors, who issue any audit opinion.
How we support
- Offer ongoing support, upgrades and continuous testing as a retainer after handover.
- Review platform release notes and apply patches on a schedule agreed in your scope.
- Confirm with your legal counsel any transfer analysis, since DeployOpen prepares evidence but does not give legal opinions.
