“ … it is clearer than ever that data sovereignty is a top priority for regulators ”
SÉBASTIEN MAROTTE PRESIDENT EMEA , BOX
Data sovereignty now a top priority for regulators “ With Gartner predicting that nearly twothirds of the world ’ s population will have their personal data protected under new privacy regulations by next year , it is clearer than ever that data sovereignty is a toppriority for regulators ,” said Marotte .
Marotte believes that the hybrid workforce and dynamic compliance landscape have reshaped the way organisations are approaching data privacy laws , and suggests as an initial step to safeguarding against future data sovereignty obligations , “ business leaders should first understand where their data resides , before looking at the issue of data sovereignty more broadly .”
“ We ’ re seeing data residency requirements ramp up across Europe already ; in France , President Macron is pushing for a more ‘ sovereign , united , democratic Europe ’ and openness in the technology industry is paramount to achieving that .” technologymagazine . com 125
