Data Residency Insights Sharing

Let’s talk about data residency — a term that’s becoming increasingly important for businesses everywhere.

Data residency refers to where your company’s data is physically stored and processed — often determined by the location of the data center. But why does this matter?

Different countries have different laws about data privacy, security, and access. In some cases, governments may even have the right to access data stored within their borders.

For companies, understanding data residency ensures compliance with legal requirements, avoids penalties, and builds trust with customers who want to know where their sensitive information resides.

Many cloud providers now let you choose where your data resides. But it’s your responsibility to align these choices with your company’s policies, legal obligations, and your customers' expectations."

Data residency isn’t just a technical detail — it’s a critical part of responsible data management.
