Challenge

A leading law firm in Europe faced significant challenges when using Zoom for collaboration, particularly around compliance with stringent European data protection regulations. 

While Zoom provided an efficient platform for virtual meetings, the firm struggled to ensure secure and compliant handling of sensitive client information, especially with the evolving rules under the GDPR. 

The firm found that Zoom’s standard security features did not fully address the legal requirements for data storage and transmission within the EU, leading to concerns about data sovereignty and privacy risks. 

Solution: Eyre is Made in Europe, Hosted in Europe

The firm adopted Eyre, a fully EU-hosted platform designed for secure video collaboration. Eyre’s P2P architecture and data localization features ensured that all conversations, transcripts, and recordings stayed within EU borders.

With permission-based access, AI collaboration tools, and Swiss-based hosting, Eyre secure meeting platform aligned perfectly with GDPR, national privacy laws, and internal IT policies.

In addition, the firm joined a pilot to implement European Compliance Suite developed on top of Eyre for risk-sensitive industries such as legal, finance, healthcare, and public sector in Europe.
