In the last decade, we’ve witnessed a data explosion, with organisations, individuals, and governments generating, collecting, and processing massive quantities of data every second. This has raised questions and concerns about data value and ownership, which has prompted businesses to look for more secure ways to safeguard their business data.
With the shift in global geopolitics and a growing number of high-profile data breaches and cybersecurity attacks, data sovereignty, especially in the UK, has become more important than ever. Private managed clouds are the answer for users and businesses looking to exercise more control over their data and safeguard it from unauthorised access.
At BlackBox Hosting, we help you manage and preserve the sovereignty of your data with our privately managed sovereign cloud services. Let’s discuss exactly how data sovereignty works and how we safeguard your data.
What Is Data Sovereignty and How Does It Work?
Data sovereignty, sometimes referred to as data residency, states that any collected, stored, or processed data must follow the laws and regulations of the country where it was generated and collected. For example, international businesses must store their clients’ personal information in accordance with the host nation’s data privacy laws and policies. Not adhering to these laws can result in penalties and strict action against your organisation.
The Importance of Data Sovereignty
Given the amount of digital data that is generated and gathered through many different channels, there is always a risk that it will be abused and altered, even in the cloud. With data sovereignty laws in the UK, businesses can handle the data they generate and prevent its misuse, storage, or exploitation.
At a macro level, your business can legally and rightfully control the access, storage, processing, and movement of data under sovereign laws. It also allows you to protect sensitive data like personal information or trade secrets from external threats like cyberattacks and restore data in the event of a disaster or a disruption.
If you’re a business outside of the UK and you collect customer data from anywhere in the UK, you will have to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the Data Protection Act 2018 along with any other local laws.
The Importance of Sovereign Cloud Services
Sovereign cloud hosting provides a cloud computing architecture that restricts each user’s data and metadata to sovereign access while blocking access to foreign data in accordance with the originating country’s laws.
