Data Sovereignty
Sovereignty: Supreme Authority
Digital information subject to laws of the country where it’s located
Gained importance with cloud computing’s global data storage
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
■ Protects EU citizens’ data within EU and EEA (The European Economic Area) borders
■ Compliance required regardless of data location
■ Non-compliance leads to significant fines
Data Sovereignty Laws (e.g China, Russia)
■ Require data storage and processing within national borders
■ Challenge for multinational companies and cloud services
Access Restrictions
Cloud services may restrict access from multiple geographic locations
Data sovereignty and geographical considerations pose complex challenges, but organizations can navigate them successfully with planning, legal guidance, and strategic technology use, ensuring compliance and data protection
