The platform · Data sovereignty

Your members' data, in Australia, under your control

Member data is the most sensitive thing your organisation holds. Nexy keeps it hosted in Australia on Microsoft Azure, governed by roles, protected by MFA and encryption, with every change on an audit log. Where it lives, who touches it and what happens to it are questions with plain answers here.

Where is our member data stored?

Nexy stores member data in Australia, on Microsoft Azure, on every tier. Access is governed by role-based controls with multi-factor authentication, every change is written to an audit log, and member data is never used to train AI models. Hosting, access and data handling are answered in writing before you commit.

The questions

Five questions every board should ask. Our answers, on the record.

Sovereignty is not a slogan; it is a short list of questions with verifiable answers. Ask them of every vendor on your shortlist, including us.

Sovereignty is a supply-chain question.

Every vendor in an assembled suite is another place your member data lives: another hosting decision made by someone else, another privacy policy to police, another set of sub-processors you have never met. The question is not whether each tool is reputable. It is how many copies of your membership exist, and under whose rules.

One platform collapses that chain. One copy of the data, one set of access controls, one audit trail, hosted in Australia. When the sovereignty question arrives in a board pack or a procurement template, the answer fits on one line.

Before AI ships, its rules are set
  • Commitment: Any AI capability we ship will run on sovereign Australian infrastructure
  • Commitment: Member data will never train our models or anyone else's
  • Commitment: AI will inherit the platform's roles, permissions and audit logging
  • Commitment: Your organisation decides whether it is on at all

Published before the features, so the rules never bend to the roadmap.

What sovereignty means here

Plain answers, on every tier.

Hosted in Australia

Member data lives on Microsoft Azure in Australia, on every tier, not as an enterprise add-on.

Governed access

Role-based access controls and MFA on every admin surface. People see what their role allows, nothing more.

Every change on the record

Audit logging records who changed what and when, at a granularity built for regulatory enquiry at Enterprise.

One copy, one platform

CRM, website, events, payments and community on one product means one copy of your data under one set of rules.

Communications governed

Messages go out through the platform, on the record, with delivery visible, not through exported lists in third-party tools.

Questionnaires welcome

Hosting, access, audit and data handling answered in writing before you commit. Sovereignty claims should survive procurement.

Why there is no logo wall

We do not publish who our clients are.

A vendor's client list is useful to more people than buyers. Published together, it tells anyone who cares exactly which organisations hold their member data in one place, and which single supplier is worth attacking to reach all of them. Sector-wide, that is how a supply-chain attack gets its shortlist.

So we do not run a logo wall. Not now, and not when the list is long. Showing off our clients would help our marketing and add a small amount of risk to organisations that trusted us with the most sensitive data they hold. That is not a trade we are willing to make on their behalf.

If you want to know who uses Nexy, ask. We will talk you through real examples, and where a client is happy to speak with you directly, we will introduce you. Reference conversations belong in a procurement process, not on a public page.

Instead, on request
  • →A conversation about organisations like yours, what they run and what changed.
  • →An introduction to a client willing to speak with you directly.
  • →Your sovereignty and security questionnaire answered in writing, before you commit.
  • →A demo on your own structure, not a scripted tour.

Your software vendor is part of your attack surface.

Most of the incidents that reach a membership organisation now arrive through a supplier rather than through its own front door. That is not an argument for fewer suppliers in the abstract. It is an argument for knowing exactly how many of them hold a copy of your member data, and being able to answer, in writing, what each one does with it.

One platform means one answer to that question instead of five. Here is ours, before you ask for it.

Where it lives

In Australia, on Microsoft Azure, on every tier. Not a paid data-residency option, and not an offshore region with an Australian sales page.

Who can reach it

The people your organisation authorises, under role-based access with multi-factor authentication. Our own access is limited, purposeful and logged.

What is recorded

Changes are written to an audit log, so the question of who did what and when has an answer rather than a theory.

If something happens

You are told promptly and in plain language: what we know, what is affected, what we are doing and what you need to do. Notification obligations and timeframes are set out in your agreement.

What AI does with it

Never used to train a model. Inference is moving to sovereign Australian infrastructure, against requirements we publish before naming a provider.

If you leave

Your data is yours. Export and deletion on the terms written into your agreement, agreed before you sign rather than negotiated when you go.

Questions

Asked before the first call.

Where is our member data hosted?
In Australia, on Microsoft Azure, with encryption, multi-factor authentication, role-based access and audit logging as standard on every tier.
Who can access our data?
The people your organisation authorises, doing the jobs you have given them. Role-based access controls govern every admin surface, and audit logging records who changed what and when.
Is our member data used to train AI models?
No. Member data is not used to train AI models, ours or anyone else's, and that position will not change when AI capability arrives on the platform. Any AI we ship will follow the commitments published on this page.
Why does one platform matter for sovereignty?
Every extra vendor in an assembled suite is another place your member data lives, another contract to police and another set of sub-processors to track. One platform means one copy, one set of controls and one answer to the question.
What happens if you have a security incident?
You are told promptly and in plain language: what we know, what is affected, what we are doing about it and what you need to do at your end, with the notification obligations and timeframes set out in your agreement. Access is role-governed and changes are audit logged, so the question of what was reached has an evidenced answer rather than an estimate.
What happens to our data if we leave?
It is yours, and the terms for exporting and deleting it are written into your agreement before you sign rather than negotiated at the point of departure. Sovereignty that only lasts while you are a customer is not sovereignty.
Why do you not show client logos?
Because a published client list tells anyone who is looking which organisations hold sensitive member data and which supplier reaches all of them at once. We will not run a logo wall now or when the list is long. Ask us instead: we will talk you through real examples and, where a client is willing, introduce you directly.
Will you answer our sovereignty questionnaire?
Yes, in writing, before you commit. Hosting, access, audit and data handling are procurement questions we expect and welcome.

Bring your sovereignty questionnaire.

Ask the five questions of every vendor on the shortlist. We will answer in writing, and show you the platform behind the answers. The argument behind the product is in Issue 7 of The Platform Realist.
