GitLab Dedicated: Compliance for a new regulatory era

European regulations including DORA, NIS2, and GDPR are increasing cybersecurity, operational resilience, data sovereignty, and audit-evidence requirements for enterprises, making platform deployment choices more consequential. The text contrasts multi-tenant cloud platforms, where shared infrastructure can create exposure and evidence challenges, with self-managed deployments, where customers assume responsibility for patching, disaster recovery, configuration consistency, and security operations. It presents GitLab Dedicated as a single-tenant SaaS offering hosted and managed by GitLab in customer-selected AWS regions, with isolated infrastructure, automated approval-gated operational changes, configurable credential rotation, private networking through AWS PrivateLink, customer-managed encryption keys, and cross-region disaster recovery targeting an eight-hour recovery time and up to four hours of data loss. GitLab Dedicated also provides monthly upgrades, emergency security maintenance, and self-service compliance artifacts intended to reduce audit preparation effort, though the text notes that AWS remains subject to U.S. legal obligations such as the CLOUD Act, requiring organizations with strict jurisdictional requirements to supplement technical controls with legal and contractual safeguards.
