Data Residency Versus Data Sovereignty

 

  • Data residency states where your data is stored. It ensures your data is stored securely in a defined geographic location.
  • Data sovereignty states which nation’s laws govern your data. It guarantees storage in a specific location and is subject to the laws of that nation.

If you host your data in a UK data centre owned by an overseas provider, it may still be subject to foreign laws.

BlackBox Hosting ensures both data residency and sovereignty. Your data resides on UK soil and is legally protected under stringent UK law and regulations, managed by a UK-owned and operated firm.
