Fivetran and S3NS Join Forces to Deliver Secure Cloud Data Solutions for Europe’s Regulated Industries
In an era where digital transformation is no longer optional, enterprises in regulated industries face a unique challenge: how to modernize with the cloud while maintaining sovereignty, security, and compliance. Addressing this pressing need, Fivetran, the global leader in data movement, has announced a strategic partnership with S3NS, a Thales subsidiary leveraging Google Cloud technology and fully controlled by Thales. This collaboration marks a significant step forward for businesses across Europe, enabling them to embrace the cloud without compromising on regulatory requirements or data protection.
Industries such as banking, insurance, government, and energy have historically encountered significant barriers to adopting cloud technologies. Stringent regulations, coupled with the need to ensure data sovereignty and security, have often slowed progress and stifled innovation. However, the integration of Fivetran’s data movement platform into S3NS’s Contrôles Locaux environment offers a groundbreaking solution. By making Fivetran the first data movement solution available in this secure architecture, the partnership empowers enterprises to accelerate their digital transformation journeys while adhering to strict compliance standards.
“Businesses today face increasingly stringent regulations and rising demands for sovereignty,” said Virginie Brard, Regional Leader for France and Benelux at Fivetran. “By integrating our technology into S3NS’s secure architecture, we enable customers to harness the full power of the cloud with high levels of data protection. This partnership underscores our commitment to supporting digital transformation while safeguarding sensitive data.”
The collaboration provides enterprises with flexible deployment options, including on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments, ensuring that organizations can tailor solutions to their specific needs. Additionally, Fivetran’s platform integrates seamlessly with S3NS’s External Key Management (EKM) encryption service, delivering end-to-end encryption for sensitive workloads. This capability was validated through an initial joint project with a major French insurance company, demonstrating the solution’s ability to meet the rigorous demands of regulated industries.
Enterprises adopting Fivetran within the S3NS ecosystem also benefit from advanced security features designed to protect data at every stage of its journey. These include role-based access control (RBAC), column blocking and hashing, advanced certifications, and customizable deployment models. Such capabilities ensure that data remains secure both in transit and at rest, while allowing organizations to retain full control over their infrastructure. This level of security and flexibility is critical for industries handling highly sensitive information, where even minor vulnerabilities can have far-reaching consequences.
“Fivetran is a recognized technology, praised for its data ingestion performance,” said Estelle Samwells, Chief Commercial Officer at S3NS. “Its integration into our secure cloud environment represents a major step in aligning technological performance with regulatory compliance.”
Beyond its technical achievements, this partnership holds broader significance for the European cloud ecosystem. At a time when digital sovereignty is a strategic priority for France and the European Union, the collaboration between Fivetran and S3NS strengthens the region’s ability to compete globally while maintaining control over its data. By combining Fivetran’s cutting-edge data movement capabilities with S3NS’s sovereign cloud architecture, enterprises can scale analytics and AI initiatives without compromise. This not only drives innovation but also ensures that sensitive data remains protected and compliant with local regulations.
The implications of this partnership extend far beyond individual enterprises. As more organizations adopt cloud technologies, the demand for secure, sovereign solutions will continue to grow. By addressing these needs head-on, Fivetran and S3NS are setting a new standard for data movement in regulated industries. Their collaboration demonstrates that it is possible to achieve technological excellence while upholding the highest standards of security and compliance.
