Global Regulatory Landscape
Overview of data sovereignty requirements by region: EU (GDPR), US (state laws), China (PIPL, DSL), India (DPDPA), Brazil (LGPD), Japan (APPI), South Korea (PIPA), and Australia (Privacy Act). Key requirements and cross-border transfer rules for each.
AI-Specific Considerations
AI adds complexity to data sovereignty: Where are prompts processed? Where do models run? Who has access to interaction data? How are cross-border API calls handled? Map each question to regulatory requirements.
Deployment Strategies
Three strategies for multi-region compliance: regional deployment (separate instances per region), data routing (route queries to region-specific endpoints), and on-premises (local deployment for strictest requirements). Pros, cons, and cost comparison.
Implementation Checklist
25-point data sovereignty checklist: identify applicable regulations, map data flows, classify data by sensitivity, configure data residency controls, document cross-border transfers, implement SCCs where needed, audit data processing locations, and maintain compliance evidence.
