Marketing Data Foundation — Secure 1P Data Environment in Your Own Cloud | SysBuild
SECURE MARKETING-DATA ENVIRONMENT

Your first-party data, activated — without it ever leaving your cloud.

The Marketing Data Foundation deploys a brand-owned, secure marketing-data environment into your own AWS or GCP account in days. 1P data lands, identity resolves, and audiences flow out to media — clean-room-matched and consent-governed at the edge — so PII never leaves your governance. The bridge between hardened enterprise systems and the adtech ecosystem.

The problem

You've got the first-party data. There's nowhere safe to use it.

Cookies are dying, identity coverage collapsed, and every audience you push to Meta or Google copies PII out to a platform your security team can't govern. The data exists — but there's no sanctioned place to land it, match it, and activate it.

  • Copy PII out to martech SaaS and you own the liability — pixel/CIPA suits hit 800+ in 2025, with a $46M healthcare settlement.
  • Cram it into the hardened data warehouse and it can't move at marketing speed — so marketing routes around IT into shadow tools anyway.
  • Build it bespoke and it's an SI project: $300K–$1M+ and a year, or 3–5 data engineers you don't have.

How it works

Connect your cloud, we deploy the Foundation, your data goes to work — governed.

Fixed-scope and productized, end to end. It deploys into your own AWS or GCP account; you own the environment, the data and the keys from day one.

Connect your cloud

You grant a customer-revocable role in your own AWS or GCP account. No standing admin, no data leaves.

We deploy the Foundation

The full environment is provisioned: ingest, PII vault, identity, governed compute, clean-room and activation — pre-wired.

Data lands & resolves

1P data, behavioral streams and creative flow in; identity resolves; audiences and models build — all inside your boundary.

Activate, governed

Matched audiences flow out to media with consent & suppression enforced at the edge. PII stays in; every push is audit-logged.

From connected cloud to a live, governed environment — in days, not a 12-month build.
What you get

A complete marketing-data environment — and the governance that keeps it safe.

Everything below is deployed into your own AWS or GCP account and handed over running. Not a clean room, not another CDP — the secure environment that ties them together, operable by your marketing team, not a pipeline org.

Environment deployed

your cloud

Provisioned, hardened, and wired together — AWS or GCP.

  • Ingest — streaming + batch
    1P PII, CRM, web/app behavioral & engagement streams, creative + performance data, and AI/agentic datasets land in one place.
  • PII vault + identity
    Encrypted with your own keys, tokenized; identity resolution built in, with pluggable LiveRamp / UID2 / ID5. The only copy of raw PII — and it never leaves.
  • Governed compute zone
    Warehouse / lakehouse for audience building, enrichment, modeling, BI and agentic workloads — scoped by policy to the vault.
  • Clean-room connectors
    Pre-wired to AWS Clean Rooms / BigQuery / Snowflake DCR and the walled gardens — match without PII leaving.
  • Governed activation
    Outbound to Meta CAPI, Google, TikTok, CTV — only matched, consented audiences flow out.

Governance & evidence

privacy by construction

The layer that ends the marketing-vs-IT standoff — built in, not bolted on.

  • Consent & suppression at the edge
    Every activation enforces consent and suppression before a record leaves. No leaky CSV uploads.
  • Deletion / DSAR propagation
    Right-to-delete propagates across the adtech tail — the gap that drives CIPA, MHMDA and Delete Act exposure.
  • Attestation pack + audit
    Machine-generated control mapping, immutable audit trail and a data-residency posture your CISO can sign.

Capability parity, both clouds
Deployment tiers

Start governed. Add isolation as your data demands it.

One capability, three isolation postures on the same spine — so "compliant at the core" is a ladder you climb, not a box you buy once. Compliant and hardware-isolated are separate axes: every tier is compliance-eligible; the higher tiers add hardware isolation.

1 · Lakehouse + Activation · available now

Your secure marketing-data environment: network + logical + cryptographic isolation — customer-managed keys, private-only endpoints, clean-room privacy rules. HIPAA-eligible under a BAA. The fast, cost-effective enablement tier — offered as a tool you run, or a service we run for you.

2 · Confidential / Hybrid · near-term

Hardware-enforced privacy for data in use — sensitive matching runs inside a confidential-computing enclave (AWS Nitro Enclaves / GCP Confidential Space) with attestation, so not even the cloud provider can read it. Lighter-weight than a full private cloud, for privacy-preserving multi-party collaboration.

3 · True Private Cloud · premium

Single-tenant hardware end to end — dedicated hosts / sole-tenant nodes, single-tenant HSM, self-run warehouse, up to air-gapped on-prem. Provable, hardware-isolated, compliant at the core. For regulated workloads with a contractual isolation requirement.

Editions

One blueprint, configured for your vertical — not rebuilt for it.

Fixed-scope, productized editions. Custom is the last option.

Each edition is the same Foundation plus a configuration profile — guardrails, default policies, data-handling templates and an attestation pack — so regulated coverage is a setting, not a bespoke project. Core ships first; regulated editions follow on the same spine.

  • Core (Commercial) — retail / CPG / DTC / B2B. The full secure environment with standard consent & suppression governance. Available now.
  • Healthcare / Pharma (HIPAA) — PHI controls, BAA-ready posture, k-anonymity join thresholds, pixel-free activation. Next.
  • Financial Services (GLBA) — GLBA + state-amendment controls, purpose limitation, FinServ attestation pack. Next.

Need something bespoke?

Custom schemas, a net-new connector, or a topology outside the editions live in a separate, premium Custom engagement — scoped to you. It's the last option, not the default.

Trust & security

Your data, your cloud, your keys. PII never leaves.

You own everything

Your AWS or GCP account, your data, your keys, your spend. The Foundation deploys into your account — we never hold your data, and there's no per-MTU SaaS meter.

PII never leaves governance

Raw PII lives only in your vault. Matching happens in clean rooms; only consented, suppressed, matched audiences flow out — every push audit-logged.

Revocable, least-privilege

We operate through a role you can revoke at any time. No standing admin, no money movement, no lock-in. Revoke it and the environment is yours alone.

FAQ

Straight answers about the boundary.

Does our PII ever leave our cloud?
No. Raw PII lives only in your vault, in your own account, encrypted with your keys. Identity matching happens in clean rooms; only consented, suppressed, matched audiences are activated to media. That's the whole point — the data never leaves your governance.
AWS or GCP?
Both, at capability parity. The Foundation deploys natively into your own AWS or GCP account. Run-cost differs (GCP typically lands lower because identity matching rides BigQuery compute); the capability set is the same.
Is this a CDP or a clean room?
Neither — it's the secure environment that ties them together. It's clean-room- and activation-agnostic: feed your existing CDP, BI and any clean room. We own the governed environment, not another point tool to lock you in.
What's productized vs custom?
Standard editions (Core now; HIPAA & GLBA next) are fixed-scope and deploy in days. Custom — bespoke schemas, net-new connectors, unusual topologies — is the last option, scoped separately, for the <10% the blueprint doesn't cover.
What does it cost to run?
You pay our Foundation fee plus your own cloud consumption (you own the account). A starter environment runs ~$2–5K/mo on AWS, ~$1–3K/mo on GCP, with a one-time identity-resolution load on AWS. We give you the estimate up front — no hidden meter.
Looking for the SOC 2 landing zone?
That's our SysBuild Cloud product — a compliant AWS landing zone with machine-readable evidence. It's still here: sysbuild.dev/cloud.
