The extensive legal checks and balances that exist in each island make them a safe location where sensitive information cannot be inadvertently disclosed. The Channel Islands have GDPR ready status, with strong privacy and data protection laws.

This data neutrality is particularly attractive to organisations that wish to centralise a data depository for subsidiaries in different jurisdictions, each of which has differing laws governing data.
