Data Governance
Data Sovereignty
The concept that data is subject to the laws and governance structures within the nation it is collected.
Expanded definition
Data sovereignty refers to the principle that data is regulated by the legal frameworks of the country in which it is collected or stored. This means that organizations must comply with the local laws governing data privacy, security, and access, which can vary significantly from one jurisdiction to another. As data increasingly crosses borders in the digital age, understanding and adhering to these regulations becomes crucial for businesses operating internationally.
