Claude Enterprise = Claude Team + Identity / Security / Compliance / Operations / Procurement built for large organizations, government, and regulated industries (finance · energy · healthcare) — SSO/SAML · SCIM · Audit Logs · ZDR · Data Residency via AWS Bedrock (APAC) with a DPA aligned with Thailand's PDPA Section 40.
If your organization mandates SSO, needs audit trails, lives in a heavily regulated industry, or has more than 150 users — Team isn't the answer.
SSO / SAML 2.0 + SCIM provisioning from Azure AD / Okta / Google Workspace — auto-sync user list
Activity-level Audit Logs · ZDR (Zero Data Retention) · custom data retention policies
DPA + SCC in Commercial Terms · aligned with PDPA Sec. 40 / ISO 27001 / SOC 2
Advanced admin console · usage analytics · no seat cap · custom usage policies
Custom contract terms · Thai tax invoice · government PO · annual billing
This table shows only what Enterprise adds to Team — features Team already has (no training, DPA, basic admin) are not repeated here.
| Capability | Team | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|
| Seats min / max | 5 / 150 | 20+ / no cap |
| SSO / SAML 2.0 | ✕ none | ✓ Azure AD / Okta / Google |
| SCIM provisioning | ✕ manual invite | ✓ auto-sync user list |
| Audit Logs (user activity) | ✕ none | ✓ user / conversation level |
| Data Retention Controls | default | ✓ configurable |
| Zero Data Retention (ZDR) | ✕ none | ✓ via signed addendum |
| Data Residency (region) | US only | ✓ US / EU / APAC via Bedrock |
| Expanded context window | standard | ✓ negotiable |
| Custom contract / SLA | ✕ | ✓ negotiable |
| Dedicated support | standard | ✓ dedicated CS team |

Claude defaults to processing and storing data in the United States — but Enterprise gives you multiple ways to control region and retention to match your IT policy.
| Option | Processing Region | Extra Cost | Fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Default (Anthropic) | US | List price | General use with no region constraint |
inference_geo=us |
US only (no leakage) API only | +10% (1.1×) | Customers required to keep inference in US (US-side compliance) |
| AWS Bedrock | US · EU · APAC (Singapore) · GovCloud | Bedrock pricing | Thai customers who need APAC-region data — government, finance, healthcare |
| Zero Data Retention (ZDR) | n/a — deleted immediately API + Files | Signed addendum | Maximum privacy — no data persists at Anthropic at all |
Under Thailand's PDPA Section 40, when an organization delegates personal-data processing to a third party, a processor agreement and security measures are required — Anthropic auto-incorporates the DPA + SCC into Commercial Terms.
You = Data Controller · Anthropic = Data Processor · DPA auto-incorporated into Commercial Terms for Team/Enterprise/API — no separate signature required
TH → US is a cross-border transfer under PDPA Sec. 28-29 — Anthropic uses Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) as the accepted safeguard
Enterprise / Team / API does not use customer data to train models by default (vs. Free/Pro/Max consumer plans, which became opt-in by default in Aug 2025)
If your organization is likely to hit Team's 150-seat ceiling within 1–2 years — start with Enterprise on day 1. Migrating later is far more painful than people expect.
Migrating Team → Enterprise is not a click-to-upgrade — it means re-provisioning every user under the Enterprise tenant, re-training your team on the SSO/SCIM flow, re-configuring every existing integration, managing data migration, and accepting downtime during the switch — plus the sunk cost of Team licenses you've already paid for.
Decision criteria: If (a) your user count has a realistic path to 150+ within 1–2 years · or (b) IT policy mandates SSO/audit · or (c) you're in a regulated sector (government/finance/healthcare) — go Enterprise on day 1. It saves time, effort, and money in the long run. Grand Linux helps with seat sizing + negotiating custom terms with Anthropic on your behalf.
The Grand Linux Solution team analyzes your user count · use case · IT and compliance policy — then negotiates custom terms with Anthropic on your behalf, and configures SSO/SCIM/Audit/Bedrock APAC end-to-end.
