What's at stake
The infrastructure crisis.
Most organisations use cloud infrastructure that was not designed for investigative or public interest work in adversarial environments. When investigations are compromised, sources are exposed and evidence disappears.
01 / Security
Security risks
Leaks, datasets, and cross-border collaborations now involve millions of documents and highly sensitive data.
02 / Dependency
Platform lock-in
Newsrooms and civil society organisations are dependent on a small number of hyperscale providers.
03 / Economics
Rising costs
Public interest initiatives increasingly rely on digital infrastructure with growing costs while budgets shrink.
How Infratype works
Structured to work
on your terms.
Because not every organisation needs the same thing at the same time
