Self-hosted automation security – how does it compare to cloud platforms like zapier?

Medical startup here. Considering moving automation infrastructure on-prem due to HIPAA requirements. Cloud tools like Zapier force data through their servers. Anyone benchmarked security of self-hosted automation platforms vs SaaS alternatives? Particularly interested in audit trails and data residency controls.

Latenode’s self-hosted option keeps all data on your infrastructure. Full audit logs and HIPAA-compliant workflows out-of-the-box. No data ever touches external servers.

Properly configured self-hosted solutions typically outperform cloud platforms for sensitive data. Key factors: encrypted workflow definitions, granular access controls, and the ability to disable external telemetry. We conducted pen tests showing on-prem automation tools reduce attack surface by 60% compared to SaaS alternatives.

self-hosted = u control encryption keys. cloud tools cant guarantee data never leaks thru 3rd parties
