Digital sovereignty
Meet regulatory requirements by using a cloud service that is compliant with industry certifications and controlling where your Google Workspace data is stored and processed, how it’s encrypted, and who can access it.
What is data sovereignty?
In a global economy, organizations often transfer data between different countries and regions to enable collaboration among their employees and partners. The emergence of cloud services as a secure, reliable platform to process and store data helps make these transactions possible, safe, and compliant with regulatory standards. Digital sovereignty involves keeping sensitive information protected while allowing organizations to have agency over where their data is stored and processed to help ensure that it’s in compliance with the laws and regulations of the country where it originates, who can access it so that only authorized parties can access that information, and what software is used to allow portability and survivability in case of an emergency.
Protect your data and ensure compliance
Regulatory compliance
Stay ahead of evolving regulations across the world. Advanced data residency controls and industry certifications allow you to take a proactive approach.
Privacy from third parties
Prevent cloud provider employees or foreign government agencies from accessing your sensitive data with technical, attestable controls.
Granular data controls
Determine the regions where your data is processed and stored. Control who can access your data and from where with encryption and zero trust controls.
