Leading Private Markets Diligence Technology Provider Establishes European Operations to Meet Growing Demand for Local Data Residency and Regulatory Compliance
NEW YORK, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ToltIQ, the leading provider for private markets due diligence, today announced the inauguration of an Amazon Web Services (AWS) region based in Dublin, Ireland. This enables UK and European private equity firms, limited partners, diligence advisory firms, and family offices to leverage ToltIQ's advanced AI capabilities while maintaining full data residency.
"The private markets industry in Europe is increasingly sophisticated in its approach to both technology adoption and regulatory compliance," said Ed Brandman, CEO and Founder of ToltIQ. "The activation of our AWS data center opens the door to European firms that want to augment their diligence workflows with the cutting-edge AI capabilities that ToltIQ provides, while remaining compliant with regional data governance requirements."
The new Dublin-based infrastructure addresses the increasing demand from financial institutions to domicile sensitive due diligence data within the UK and Europe, ensuring compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act. While GDPR doesn't explicitly require data residency within the EU, it imposes strict regulations on cross-border data transfers, making local data storage a preferred compliance approach.
Supporting European Private Markets Growth
In addition to the launch of the Dublin AWS region, ToltIQ is pleased to announce that it has appointed Mat Stephens as Head of European Operations. Stephens will also continue in his role as Global Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for ToltIQ. Prior to joining ToltIQ he spent 20 years at KKR where he oversaw EMEA IT operations initially and later transitioned to managing global IT infrastructure and security.
"European private markets firms are facing the dual challenge of adopting AI to maintain their competitive edge while at the same time needing to identify AI-powered due diligence solutions that respect data sovereignty requirements," said Mat Stephens, Global CISO and Head of European Operations for ToltIQ. "ToltIQ is a GDPR compliant solution that can augment their deal workflows and I look forward to demonstrating our advanced diligence capabilities to European and UK based private markets firms."
