Public Sector
Infrastructure that stays in the UK, run by a team that answers for it. We design, deliver and support secure platforms for public sector organisations, with named people accountable at every stage.
Overview
Public Sector and Synapse
Synapse works with government, local authorities, education and health bodies to provide infrastructure, private and public cloud, and data protection on infrastructure we own and operate. Services are delivered with each workload placed in the environment that suits it on the Synapse Adaptive Cloud platform.
We understand your sector
Public sector organisations carry obligations around data sovereignty, assurance and value for money that commercial buyers do not, while running services citizens depend on across estates that have grown through successive administrations and funding cycles.
-
A provable answer on sovereignty
Understanding data is in the UK is not the same as knowing who operates the infrastructure and which jurisdiction applies. Assurance teams need a specific answer, naming the facility and the operator.
-
Continuity for services that cannot stop
Citizens, patients and students depend on systems being available. Recovery arrangements need to be tested and evidenced in a form auditors can use.
-
Estates built in layers
Infrastructure added across different administrations, funding rounds and service priorities becomes harder to see clearly, and harder to modernise safely.
-
Budgets under permanent scrutiny
Infrastructure spend has to be transparent, forecastable and defensible across financial years and changes of administration.

Wherever it needs to. We can host your data on infrastructure Synapse owns and operates, and we’ll always name the facility and the jurisdiction, including options across the Crown Dependencies.
But we’re not tied to our own data centres. We work with a wide range of trusted third-party providers, which means we can shape the setup around what matters most to you, whether that’s:
- Price point: matching the right infrastructure to your budget, without paying for capacity you don’t need.
- Location: placing data in a specific country or region to meet geolocation requirements.
- Security: selecting facilities that meet the certifications and benchmarks your organisation or regulator expects.
- Data sovereignty: keeping data within a defined jurisdiction and under the legal framework you need.
Whichever route you take, you’ll know exactly where your data lives, who operates the facility, and which laws apply. No grey areas.
