UK hosted and fully managed sovereign clouds
Platform FLEX is Nine23’s fully owned and fully managed UK‑Sovereign Private Cloud, purpose-built to meet the UK Public Sector’s most stringent security, compliance, and operational requirements. Platform FLEX guarantees that all data, infrastructure, and operational control remain exclusively within the United Kingdom – delivering a level of national data sovereignty, assurance, and accountability that overseas providers cannot match.
Designed for organisations operating in regulated, sensitive, and mission‑critical environments, Platform FLEX provides a dedicated, single‑tenant private cloud engineered to support workloads from OFFICIAL‑SENSITIVE through to SECRET. Hosted in FSC/PASF‑accredited UK data centres and aligned with national and NCSC security standards, it gives Government, Policing, Defence, and National‑Security organisations a secure, compliant, and resilient platform for critical operations.
Platform FLEX is operated solely by SC and NPPV3‑cleared UK personnel, ensuring that sensitive workloads are never handled by offshore or non‑cleared teams. This sovereign, accredited, and security‑cleared operating model provides unmatched trust and assurance, enabling public‑sector organisations to meet the highest levels of regulatory, operational, and national-security compliance while accelerating secure digital transformation.
