Storage Solutions
Municipal systems accumulate documents: proof of residence, affidavits, ID copies, burial records, asset photographs. This is where they live, how they are protected, and how long they are kept.
What you get
Documents attached to the record
A scanned affidavit belongs to an application, not to a shared drive somebody has to search. Every upload is attached to the record it supports.
Encrypted at rest
Files are encrypted in storage and in transit, with keys held in a managed key service rather than in the application.
Access that is logged
Who opened which citizen document, and when. Personal information under POPIA needs an access trail, not just a password.
Retention you set
Records have different lifespans. Retention is configured per document type rather than everything being kept forever by default.
Backed up and restorable
Automated backups with a retention window, and restores we have actually run. An untested backup is not a backup.
In South Africa
Citizen documents are stored in the AWS Cape Town region, which is what POPIA and municipal data sovereignty policy require.
How it fits
Storage comes with the systems that need it rather than being bought separately.
Indigent management
Supporting documents for every application, attached to the household and the verification that used them.
Cemetery management
Burial records, plot documents and the photographs that go with a grave site.
Asset management
Condition photographs and supporting paperwork against each asset in the register.
