When regulatory compliance, data sovereignty, and geograpic location prevent you from using external cloud infrastructure, SASE Private Location enables you to deploy Prisma® Access services within your own infrastructure. This hybrid deployment model addresses compliance, data sovereignty, and geographic location requirements by keeping your network traffic and security processing within your premises, eliminating the need to route data through external cloud infrastructure. Using SASE private location, you can deploy agent-based Mobile Users in your data center. You continue to manage configurations, policy rules, and monitoring through the familiar Prisma Access UI.

Organizations in regulated industries, such as healthcare, financial services, and government sectors, benefit from SASE Private Location. These organizations often must comply with HIPAA regulations, data residency requirements, or FedRAMP standards that prohibit sending traffic to external cloud services. You can maintain the same Prisma Access security capabilities while ensuring that your data never leaves your controlled environment. This approach is valuable when you need low-latency access to critical applications or when your security policy rules mandate that network security functions operate within your physical premises. Use SASE Private Location when configuring your Prisma Access deployment to meet stringent compliance requirements

The GlobalProtect® portal continues to operate from the cloud for global accessibility, while the gateways run locally behind load balancers in your environment, providing the optimal balance of centralized management and localized performance.

SASE Private Location eliminates the traditional choice between cloud managed security services and on-premises compliance requirements. You can achieve regulatory compliance without sacrificing the operational benefits of cloud management, automated updates, and centralized policy enforcement that characterize modern SASE architectures. This capability becomes essential when your organization requires air-gapped environments, operates in countries with strict data sovereignty laws, or maintains corporate policies that restrict the use of external cloud services for security functions.
