Leaks Platform Hosting in Iceland for Journalism Operations
Platforms that accept anonymous submissions from sources need hosting that legally and technically supports source protection. Iceland is widely recognized as the optimal jurisdiction for such platforms, combining Modern Media Initiative law with operational best practices for SecureDrop and similar systems.

Iceland and source protection
The Modern Media Initiative explicitly sought to make Iceland the strongest source protection jurisdiction available. Subsequent court rulings have generally upheld journalist privilege and source confidentiality in Icelandic proceedings.
Technical posture
A SecureDrop installation requires two dedicated servers (application server and monitoring server) plus an air-gapped workstation. We provide the two servers; the air-gapped workstation is on your side. We support the recommended hardened configuration including AppArmor, grsecurity-style protections and minimal external surface.
What we do not do
We do not access your servers operationally. We do not log application-layer traffic. We do not retain backup access. The hosting is provided in a posture compatible with the trust assumptions of a journalism leaks platform.
Pricing
SecureDrop two-server setup: $389/mo Iceland dedicated. Related: bulletproof hosting, investigative journalism, whistleblower platform.
