In today’s cybersecurity landscape, the origin of the technology is just as critical as its technical capabilities. At Transparent Edge, we understand this, as the question of how we process data often comes up in our conversations.
Therefore, today we are going to tell you how we reconcile the thorough traffic inspection, necessary for safety, with absolute respect for data sovereignty.
Transparent Edge is a cybersecurity and content delivery platform developed by a company with 100% European capital and jurisdiction. This means that our protection architecture, in addition to mitigating complex attacks (DDoS, bots, injections, etc.), legally safeguards your data.
By operating under the strict framework of the European Union, we offer a safe haven from extraterritorial laws that, in other latitudes, compromise privacy.
To neutralize sophisticated edge threats, it’s crucial to “turn on the light.” If traffic arrives encrypted at the origin server, attacks travel invisibly. SSL/TLS termination at the edge is an operational necessity that we’ve transformed into a guarantee.
We act as a transparent shield. We perform SSL Offloading to analyze traffic, clean it, and deliver it securely:
• WAF & anti-Bot: We inspect the payload for malicious patterns (SQLi, XSS) and anomalous behavior.
• AntiDDoS (L3, L4 and L7): We mitigate volumetric and application attacks before they touch your infrastructure.
We do not perform persistent storage of sensitive end-user data payloads during this analysis. What happens in memory, stays in memory, like in Vegas.
In a market dominated by global hyperscalers, the legal location of your data can be your greatest vulnerability or your greatest strength.
Unlike “black box” solutions, we give you the keys. Each edge server generates its own security logs, and you have complete flexibility to consume them without losing governance.
A: Technically, the WAF needs to decrypt to scan for threats, but our process is automated and occurs in volatile memory. We do not persistently store, log, or read sensitive data (PII) in plaintext on our disks. The system scans for attack signatures, not user data.
A: Traffic is processed at the edge node closest to the user to ensure minimal latency. However, intellectual property and activity logs are managed according to your storage guidelines, guaranteeing that data never leaves the scope of control you define.
A: Not under automatic extraterritorial laws such as the US Cloud Act. As a European company, any data request must go through the strict judicial channels of the European Union and comply with the guarantees of the Spanish legal system.
A: Absolutely not. We do not feed third-party threat intelligence databases with your legitimate traffic. The intelligence we generate protecting you is used exclusively to protect you.

Psychologist by training, computer scientist by hobby, pre-sales by profession, new romantic at heart. He does so many things that he doesn’t even remember what he really does. More left hand than Nadal. Living between business and technology allows him to have half the joys and twice the worries, but it is impossible to make a dent in the spirit of our favorite snake charmer.
