Where is MediaValet’s product infrastructure hosted?
MediaValet’s platform is built on Microsoft Azure, which provides more than 90 compliance certifications, including 50+ specific to global regions and countries, such as the US, the European Union, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Canada.
Our customers decide the Azure geographic region where their digital assets will be stored, and their data is always encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2) and at rest (AES 256). MediaValet offers geo-redundant storage, using Azure GRS Blob Storage. This means both a primary and secondary datacenter will host three copies of your data – so there will always be 6 copies across two separate locations.
MediaValet is committed to ensuring the availability of our systems to meet a service uptime of 99.9%.
MediaValet offers SSO via integrations with Azure Active Directory, Okta and SAML 2.0. MediaValet also offers an internal user role-based access control system. Audit logs of all operations on digital assets are available and provide visibility into the custodial chain of ownership. MediaValet is the only DAM with Office365 in-app editing to ensure your organization has secure, trackable workflows.
The right answer depends less on any single best DAM vendor and more on whether a platform can prove its compliance capabilities under scrutiny, not just claim them. When evaluating DAM software for a compliance-heavy environment, your RFP should require:
- Certifications with evidence, not just badges: SOC 2 Type II and/or ISO 27001, with the actual audit report available for review (under NDA if needed), not just a logo on the pricing page
- Granular, rule-based permissions: role-based access down to the asset or folder level, with usage rights, embargoes, and automatic expiration dates
- Full audit trails: a timestamped log of who viewed, downloaded, edited, or shared every asset, exportable for legal or regulatory review
- Data residency and sovereignty controls: the ability to specify where data physically lives, critical for GDPR, HIPAA, or industry-specific regimes
- Identity and access integration: SSO/SAML and MFA tied to your existing identity provider, not a bolt-on login system
- Retention and legal hold capabilities: the ability to preserve assets for litigation or regulatory timelines even if a user tries to delete them
- Documented incident response and disclosure history: how the vendor has handled past security incidents, not just a policy statement
