More countries are adopting laws designed to protect the privacy of citizens and local entities by defining how data can be securely collected, stored, and used. Many organisations are re-evaluating how to comply with the changing geo-political landscape and privacy/security regulations, which requires defining some relevant concepts:
- Digital sovereignty – the ability to have full control over your own digital destiny – the data, hardware, and software that you rely on and create1…in other words individuals owning their own data and controlling it’s use.
- Data residency – the physical and geographic location where data and meta-data is stored and processed.
