Shannon Simpson, CEO, CNS Group, discusses why data sovereignty is of increasing concern, especially with the EUGDPR on the horizon.

A study by CNS Group found that 92 percent of IT security professionals said it is important to store, access and back up data in the UK. However, only 27 percent were very certain that their data did actually remain in the UK at all times. With Brexit and emerging data protection laws, UK organisations of all sizes will need to know where in the world their data is stored and managed. If comprehensive questions about data sovereignty are not already part of your data governance strategy, they should be.
