When:  Feb 15, 2024 from 01:00 PM to 02:00 PM (ET)

Summary

While cross-border digital exchange has become the norm, enterprises remain challenged with meeting Data Residency requirements set forth by various regions. Data Residency is the actual location of an organization's data, and laws built around it dictate how to store, process, and transfer data collected in those specific regions. The most popular amongst these is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which governs information privacy in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). Since then, several other countries and regions have implemented laws protecting their residents' data - Australia (APA), Brazil (LGPD), Canada (PIPEDA), Japan (APPI), South Africa (PoPIA), and UAE (FPDPL) to name a few. 

This webinar aims to guide organizations through the intricacies of data residency and equip them with actionable insights to meet regulatory demands effectively.

The webinar will dive into three pivotal actions enterprises must take to align with data residency requirements:

  • Data Residency laws and understand what they are and are not
  • The importance and means of discovering unknown data, also known as shadow data
  • The why and the means of understanding data flows.

Join us for an insightful discussion that goes beyond theoretical concepts, providing actionable steps for enterprises to enhance data security and seamlessly meet data residency requirements in an evolving regulatory landscape.
