The case for on-premise

published on 15 June 2022

Data protection concerns suggest that many firms must reconsider the on-premise option for email marketing. Important though they are, inboxing, automation and tools must never play second-fiddle to data security.

Case study: WD-40

There are a number of factors that make your subscriber data vulnerable. One factor is outsourcing your email marketing to a firm with limited understanding of data protection matters or exporting to a country that makes it difficult to comply with GDPR. 

A second factor is the email vendors' internal data security policies may not be as robust as yours or pass external regulation standards. 

On-premise assures your subscribers their information is treated with the same respect and care as your mission-critical systems. 

By implementing an on-premise solution, sensitive customer data can remain in your secure internal infrastructure, helping legal compliance and regulation.

A third factor is the company you keep. An email vendor with 1m clients is a target for attackers. The very opposite of safety in numbers.

Though managing your email marketing on-premise helps eliminate these vulnerabilities, not all companies believe they have the resources or expertise to bring it in-house.
