Case Study: Stadtsparkasse München achieves DSGVO-compliant, high-availability cloud storage with Nextcloud and HKN

The Establishment and Operation of a DSGVO-Compliant Data Cloud

Stadtsparkasse München, a major Munich-based savings bank, required a cloud solution compliant with strict German financial regulatory (BaFin) and data protection (DSGVO) standards. Their challenge was to migrate their existing internal Nextcloud to a professionally hosted environment without service interruption. They partnered with Nextcloud Gold partner HKN to implement this migration and find a secure, compliant hosting solution.

HKN set up a high-availability Nextcloud Enterprise cluster in an ISO 27001-certified German data center, ensuring full DSGVO compliance. The vendor managed a seamless migration with no noticeable downtime and provided comprehensive support and monitoring. The results included increased high availability, improved scalability, a significant reduction in internal administrative effort, and enhanced data security with encrypted backups.
