AWS is good but cause we are using sensitive data that can't be hosted anywhere else than a server owned by us , we have to rent a server and make sure we are the only ones that have access to it!

How do you know the ops team for the place where you co-locate does not have access to it?

If your data is that sensitive you don't want to rent the thing, you want to own it and you want it to be in a cage that is just yours (or a rack with a lock on it that only you have the key to).

AWS has certifications for health, financial, and government data (plus many more)

yes but there are some weird regulations with the FSA in the UK that doesn't allow you to use amazon... Our lawyers chose our providers, we can't rly do anything about that.
