Providing cloud-based solutions means security is always a concern. For Stuttgart-based Nextcloud, they doubled-down and made security an integral part of their entire business strategy.

Nextcloud differentiates from other online file sync and collaboration technology solutions by focusing on security, privacy and control.

Nextcloud solutions excel at giving their business customers the power to “know where data is, who has access, and that even meta-data does not leak.” It’s a security-first approach to how they design, build, and position their products, and it’s no accident.

But putting “security first” in today’s world is typically just marketing fluff. With Nextcloud, it’s a core component of their entire business strategy, which lets them take an aggressive approach to security. It also gives their small security team the internal capital to realise an impressive average response time on their HackerOne Bounty program of less than 1 hour.

Nextcloud has elevated security from a cost center to an integral part of their business and their message.
