Sovereignty and local capability

You may have grand plans for the cloud, but without the right data strategy you could end up in legal trouble if your ambitions run afoul of increasingly strict regulations that control the flow of data within and outside of Australia.

Do you know where your cloud data will be stored once you implement that new system? Do you know the regulations that protect it? And do you know how to address the issue with your cloud providers to ensure that you can keep your data in Australia when you need to?

The law – and the technology – are changing regularly, which is why Versent chief technology officer Tim Hope says you can’t afford to be ignorant of data sovereignty and the issues it raises.
