The platform can be deployed in public clouds (such as AWS, Azure and GCP). Custom deployment may involve coordinated IT workshops, appropriate contract sign-off, and alignment with the IT specifications required for each deployment model. ### Infrastructure and hosting After your dataset has been curated, it is converted into an efficient, column-oriented file format designed for optimal data storage and retrieval. Your data is then securely stored on a fully managed storage solution. ### Data privacy and security For customers running K Pro on their own cloud subscription, we maintain strict separation of your data from our infrastructure. Your storage is set up in a cloud account that is entirely separate from the K Pro account. This ensures that your data remains under your control and protected within your own cloud environment. To enable K Pro to access your data while maintaining this security boundary, we utilize secure cross-account access patterns, such as shared network configurations. This allows your storage to be securely mounted and accessed by K Pro without compromising the isolation between accounts, preserving both your privacy and security throughout the entire process. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.owkin.com/governance-and-security/infrastructure-and-hosting.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
