Ground stations, remote sites and in-country clouds run far from your team. We test who can operate them, how they're updated and where their data really goes.

Three paths to check
Follow what crosses the border.
Admin access, updates and data each take their own route. Switch them on to see where each one leaves your control.
Admin access
Vendor support can log in from outside the country.
Approve each session first, route it through an in-country jump host and record it.
Data and logs
Backups stay in the country. Telemetry is forwarded abroad by default.
Prove where every copy goes: data, backups, logs and support sessions.
What changes at a distance.
A bad update can strand a remote node. Keep a known-good copy on the node, so it can roll back without a link home.
Links drop, so controls must work offline. Access rules and logging keep working when the node can't reach headquarters.
Where your keys live decides who can read your data. Encryption keys kept in the country you chose keep the data readable only there.
- Signature checked before install
- New copy failed its health check
- Switched back to copy A on its own
What to do first.
- 01
Map who can operate it.
List every person, vendor and system that can log in, and from where.
- 02
Sign and check every update.
Nodes install only signed software, and keep a copy to roll back to.
- 03
Prove where the data goes.
Trace every copy: data, backups, logs and support sessions.
Questions we hear.
Can you test equipment at remote sites?
We test the access, updates and data flows that reach those sites. Usually we use a test node that mirrors a real one. We agree the scope with you in writing.
Can you tell us whether we meet data residency rules?
We show you where your data actually goes. Your legal team decides what the rules require.
Our sites are offline most of the time. Is that a problem?
No. We test controls and recovery that work without a connection.
Where do we start?
Pick one remote deployment. Bring its map, the people who can operate it and the data locations you must control.
Space, edge & sovereign compute
Review one remote deployment.
Start with who can operate it, how it's updated and where its data goes.
