A new company directive requires all departments to ensure intellectual property is kept within a country’s borders. Which of the following concepts…

Data sovereignty is the concept that best represents the requirement for keeping intellectual

property within a country’s borders. Data sovereignty refers to the idea that data is subject to the

laws and governance of the country in which it is stored or processed. Data sovereignty can have

implications for data privacy, security, compliance, and access, as different countries may have

different regulations, standards, or policies regarding data protection, ownership, or transfer. Data

sovereignty can also affect the choice of cloud providers, as some cloud providers may store or

process data in multiple locations across the world, which may not comply with the data sovereignty

requirements of the customer or the country. Therefore, customers who need to ensure data

sovereignty should carefully review the terms and conditions of the cloud provider, and choose the

one that offers the appropriate data location, encryption, or isolation options12
