Welcome to infratype
Your mission deserves secure infrastructure, lower dependency on hyperscalers, and peace of mind
infratype is a cloud exchange built by the Journalism Cloud Alliance for investigative newsrooms, accountability organisations, and public-interest initiatives.
Most organisations use cloud infrastructure that was not designed for investigative or public interest work in adversarial environments. infratype exists to change this.
Security risks
Leaks, datasets, and cross-border collaborations now involve millions of documents and highly sensitive data.
Platform dependency
Newsrooms and civil society organisations become dependent on a small number of hyperscale providers.
Rising costs
Investigative journalism increasingly depends on digital infrastructure with growing costs while budgets shrink.
How Infratype works

Because not every organisation needs the same thing at the same time
