Big Tech AI transforms FTSE 100 firms, but UK professional services under 250 employees are priced out or locked into overseas infrastructure. We solve both problems.

Why EU, not UK-only?
The EU has a UK adequacy decision, SRA explicitly approves EEA hosting, and the best AI infrastructure is in EU data centres. UK-only hosting available on request.
Infrastructure
ISO 27001 certified hosting, EU-resident AI processing with zero data retention. Queries are never stored or used for model training.
In simple terms
EU data centres, European jurisdiction, zero US exposure.

Who We Serve
The UK has over 10,000 law firms, 35,000 accountancy practices, and thousands of recruitment and consultancy firms—most priced out of enterprise AI. We built PrivateNode to change that.
25–250 employees? You're in the gap.
Too small for enterprise AI vendors. Too regulated for consumer-grade tools. PrivateNode was built specifically for UK professional services firms like yours.
Compliance
Whether you're regulated by the SRA, FCA, ICAEW, RICS, or handling sensitive client data—we built PrivateNode for your compliance requirements.
SRA, ICAEW, RICS, REC guidance on client data and confidentiality. EEA hosting explicitly approved—we deliver it.
UK/EU jurisdiction with full adequacy. No Schrems II gaps, no transatlantic transfers, no overseas legal exposure.
Some insurers exclude claims involving overseas data processing. EU jurisdiction and ISO 27001 certified hosting address this risk.
Government, NHS, and public sector work increasingly require UK/EU data residency. We deliver it.
Your documents and queries stay within UK/EU jurisdiction. Same AI capabilities, compliant architecture.
FAQ
Microsoft is a US company subject to US law, including the CLOUD Act. US authorities can compel access to data regardless of where it's physically stored. For UK regulated firms handling client-confidential information, this creates a compliance risk that can't be contracted away. PrivateNode processes everything in European jurisdiction with zero US legal exposure.
We use high-performance AI models running entirely on EU infrastructure—no US processing involved. The key differences are jurisdiction (your data never leaves European sovereignty), architecture (dedicated single-tenant infrastructure, not shared), and specialisation (UK regulatory data that US tools lack entirely).
SRA, ICAEW, RICS, and REC guidance all require firms to understand where client data is processed and maintain confidentiality obligations. Our architecture—dedicated EU infrastructure, zero retention, ISO 27001 certified hosting, full audit trails—directly addresses these requirements across professional bodies. We can provide compliance documentation for your risk assessment.
Yes—this is our core differentiator. Your SharePoint, contracts, and precedents are indexed alongside legislation.gov.uk, Companies House, and tribunal decisions. One query can search both your archives and live UK law, with citations to both.
The EU has a UK adequacy decision and SRA explicitly approves EEA hosting for client data. European data centres offer the best combination of AI infrastructure availability, GDPR compliance, and zero US legal exposure.
UK-EU adequacy: The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement maintains data adequacy, meaning EU-hosted data meets UK GDPR requirements. No Schrems II complications apply to EU-UK transfers.
Infrastructure availability: The most capable AI inference infrastructure in Europe is concentrated in EU data centres. As UK-based AI infrastructure matures, we plan to add UK-only hosting options.
UK-only option: For firms requiring UK-only data residency, we can arrange dedicated UK infrastructure on request. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
