No, customers don’t need to have the Microsoft stack — Backbase managed hosting integrates smoothly with various tech ecosystems​​​ using industry standard technologies.

Managed hosting must comply with stringent regulations like SOC 2 & GDPR to ensure data security and privacy. Future regulations are likely to focus on AI governance, cross-border data compliance, and stricter cloud sovereignty requirements, demanding a proactive approach to stay compliant.

An external auditor will attest that Backase follows the practices as described in her control framework. This ensures that data management practices are secure, client information is protected and privacy is maintained. SOC 2 compliance is a key standard for evaluating how companies handle data, ensuring rigorous controls over security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
