Data residency
All workspace data — events, payloads, vault, evidence bundles, working papers — stays in the selected region. Per-class overrides exist for narrow cases (token vault in a different region than events, etc.).
Primary region
eu-west-1
residentEvents ingest, payload storage, KMS, hash chain, Merkle anchoring, evidence bundle generation — all bound to eu-west-1. No data egresses the EU.
