- Fundamental data regions—Allows setting one data region policy for all users
- Data regions for Education—Adds features for qualified educational organizations
- Enterprise data regions—Adds flexibility and granularity for globally distributed organizations
- Assured Controls data regions (add-on)—Adds advanced reporting for compliance and security requirements
