      Questions and due diligence

      What agencies ask

      Due diligence

      Where exactly does our data live?

      closed Icon Opend Icon

      In the UnitedLayer data centers you choose, in a single-tenant private cloud. UPC Sovereign Cloud adds residency controls for regulated data.

      Who is responsible for what?

      closed Icon Opend Icon

      We agree a written shared-responsibility model, from the data center floor to the application, so every control has an owner.

      How close are edge zones to subscribers?

      closed Icon Opend Icon

      Edge zones sit near users across 200+ data centers and edge locations, keeping latency in single-digit milliseconds.

      How do you handle multi-tenancy?

      closed Icon Opend Icon

      Multi-tenant orchestration with API-driven integration isolates tenants, partners and network slices.

      What does Security as a Service include?

      closed Icon Opend Icon

      AI threat detection, zero trust architecture, automated compliance enforcement, continuous vulnerability assessments and real-time monitoring.

      Platform

      Can you run 5G and NFV workloads?

      closed Icon Opend Icon

      Yes. Container-native 5G workloads, NFV and edge zones with real-time orchestration and 99.99% service uptime.

      How fast can we launch?

      closed Icon Opend Icon

      Cloud-native apps and functions in weeks, not months, with automated provisioning.

      How does AI help the network?

      closed Icon Opend Icon

      Traffic optimization, anomaly detection, automated incident response and AI-driven network visibility.

      Can you upgrade without downtime?

      closed Icon Opend Icon

      Yes. Zero-downtime upgrades roll zone by zone with no sessions dropped.

      How do you connect everything?

      closed Icon Opend Icon

      Yes. Secure cloud and colocation give full control over sensitive data in a private, compliant environment.

      Which standards do you support?

      closed Icon Opend Icon

      TL 9000 alignment, automated compliance enforcement and the security standards your regulators expect.
