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.
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.
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 relies on digital infrastructure with growing costs while budgets shrink.

infratype is structured to work on your terms
