Your data deserves better than a data center somewhere in the world
When we talk about artificial intelligence applied to human resources, the first question our clients ask isn't "does it work?" — it's "where does my data go?".
It's a perfectly legitimate question. The information you process in Nectos — employment contracts, salaries, your employees' personal data — are among the most sensitive that exist in a company. They deserve a clear answer, not a clause buried in terms and conditions that nobody reads.
Here's ours.
100% Swiss infrastructure, with trusted partners
Nectos operates exclusively on the infrastructure of two Swiss partners: Hidora SA and Phoeniqs.
Their data centers are located in Geneva, Gland and Lucerne. Your data never leaves Swiss territory. It doesn't pass through American or European servers. It stays here, subject to Swiss law — and in particular to the new Federal Data Protection Act (nLPD), which came into force in September 2023.
For a trust company, an HR firm or an SME that handles confidential information daily, this is a concrete guarantee. Not a marketing argument.
100% renewable energy: a deliberate choice, not a trend
Hidora and Phoeniqs data centers are powered exclusively by renewable energies. Hydroelectric power, solar energy — clean, stable sources, mostly produced on Swiss soil.
Why does this matter to you as an SME manager?
Because more and more companies — large and small — must account for their environmental footprint. Whether it's to respond to calls for tenders, meet client requirements or simply align your tools with your values, the choice of digital solutions is part of your company's environmental balance sheet.
By using Nectos, you're not just outsourcing your HR tasks to AI. You're doing it on an infrastructure with minimal carbon impact.
What this actually changes for your SME
Here's what this infrastructure brings you daily, without you having to think about it:
Simplified compliance. Your personal data remains in Switzerland. No questions about international transfers, no extra steps needed to stay compliant with nLPD.
Easy answers for your clients and partners. If a client or partner asks you where your HR data is hosted, you have a precise answer: in Switzerland, with Hidora and Phoeniqs, on renewable energy.
A tool aligned with your commitments. More and more French-speaking Swiss SMEs are engaging in sustainability initiatives. Nectos fits into this logic, without any extra effort on your part.
Stability and performance. Swiss infrastructure isn't just an ethical argument. It also guarantees high availability and performance suited to the needs of local businesses.
Trust isn't demanded — it's demonstrated
We could have hosted Nectos on international cloud platforms. It's often less expensive. It's technically simpler to implement.
We made a different choice. Because our clients trust us with sensitive data. Because compliance shouldn't be a box to check, but a verifiable reality. And because a company that claims to be responsible must be so down to its infrastructure choices.
At Nectos, the AI that saves you time is hosted where it should be: in Switzerland, cleanly.
