WHAT IS SAFEQ CLOUD?
What is SAFEQ Cloud?
A modern print & scan platform, delivered as a service — built on three pillars.
What you stop paying for when print moves to the cloud.
- Save thousands on HW print servers
- Eliminate print driver management
- Reduce IT tickets; free up teams for strategic work
- Accelerate digital transformation
Why SAFEQ Cloud is safer than on-premise, by design.
- Automated maintenance, validated updates, rollbacks
- WIZ vulnerability management with daily scans
- MXDR — 24/7 security surveillance
- 3rd-party penetration testing · ISO 27001 · SOC 2
The everyday capabilities users and admins actually touch.
- Direct and secure print · location-aware printing
- Mobile & guest printing
- One-click scan workflows with ABBYY OCR
- Advanced insights, universal print driver, reserved infra
Cloud print now leads new rollouts, worldwide.
Cloud overtook on-prem globally in 2025 — and the lead is widening fast. By 2026, nearly three of every four new deployments go to cloud.

Business agility
Scale up and down without procurement cycles. Faster time-to-market, less reliance on IT for day-to-day change.
IT efficiency
Ease of administration. Simple deployment and scaling. Connect from anywhere, by default secure.
Economy of scale
Low upfront investment. Pay as you go. OPEX instead of CAPEX, and no five-year refresh cycle.
Three ways to deploy SAFEQ Cloud.
A spectrum, based on how much data control and operational ownership you need — from standard multi-tenant cloud to fully managed on-premise.
Multi-Tenant
Shared SAFEQ Cloud with full automation, three-zone HA, and bi-weekly updates. The default for most customers.
- Per-device licensing
- Y Soft–operated DCs worldwide
- Standard SLA
Reserved
Dedicated infrastructure in a dual-zone setup, in the Y Soft–operated DC of the customer's choice. Same platform, isolated environment, premium SLA.
- Dedicated resources
- Customer-chosen DC
- Premium SLA included
Managed On-Prem
SAFEQ Cloud deployed into customer-controlled infrastructure. Print and scan data never leaves the network.
- Customer-operated infrastructure
- Print & scan data stay on-prem
- Customer secures the environment
Feature parity in SAFEQ Cloud.
Everything that mattered on-prem — secure release, mobile workflows, scan, reporting — ships in the cloud platform. No feature trade-off.

Windows Protected Print — driverless, secure, future-proof.
SAFEQ Cloud integrates with WPP — Microsoft's modern, secure print mode for Windows 11 24H2+. The PC Client recreates print queues automatically; no driver to install, IPP end-to-end, ARM and x86/x64 covered.
Security by default
Closes the legacy Windows print attack surface.
- Mitigates 50%+ of vulnerabilities tied to traditional Windows print — PrintNightmare, Stuxnet
- Eliminates third-party drivers
- Strong encryption end-to-end via IPP
Driverless printing
IPP & Mopria-certified, no SAFEQ Cloud driver.
- Microsoft's IPP Class driver replaces the SAFEQ Cloud driver
- Mopria-certified queues, vendor-agnostic
- Modern standards baked into Windows 11 24H2
Zero-config UX
PC Client handles it — users just see their queues.
- Auto-created print queues — no PowerShell, no manual GUI add
- Syncs at PC Client start-up or right-click > Synchronize
- Works on ARM and x86 / x64 Windows 11 24H2+
Scale isn't a question. It's the baseline.
SAFEQ Cloud runs 120,000 devices every day — across nine data centres on four continents — built for partner-scale rollouts.
How IT scales: containerisation.
SAFEQ Cloud runs inside containers — think of each as a standardised shipping box for an application, with everything it needs packed inside. It's the same architecture Google built to run at planetary scale, and it's how SAFEQ Cloud runs 120K devices across the platform with no degradation.
Apps installed directly on servers — or in costly virtual machines that ship a full OS each time. Scaling means provisioning more hardware. Updates mean downtime windows.
A standardised shipping box for the application — code, libraries, config. Multiple containers safely share the same OS without VM overhead. (Database stays on managed RDS.)
Security is now a board-level priority.
Since 2020, the volume, impact, and regulatory exposure of cyber incidents have all risen dramatically. Security has shifted from IT hygiene to board-level resilience.
