Data Residency and Sovereign Cloud Security

The question is not where the data sits. It is who can reach it, and what you can prove.

Data localisation is the easy half and it is answered by a contract. The harder half is administrative access. Which support engineer, in which country, under which provider's agreement, can see or move your regulated data?

Schedule SECCOM to map administrative access to your regulated data, including the access your providers hold. Under the DPDP Act 2023 that list is what turns a stated position into a demonstrable one.

What you get. A list of everyone with administrative access to that data, your own staff and every third party, and a design where the evidence exists before anyone asks for it.
