As a source of knowledge in today's digital world, data drives business decisions, drives innovation and changes how we work. According to MBN, data is information in numbers, measurements, text, and quantities collected for analysis to gain insights and knowledge. 

Data as important information must be managed effectively with data management. The process involves a series of implementations, such as storing, organizing, securing, and maintaining data in an organized and efficient manner. Data sovereignty is an important aspect of data management, especially in a globalized world where data flows across national borders and is subject to various legal and regulatory requirements. This article will discuss more about data sovereignty.

What is Data Sovereignty?

Data sovereignty refers to the concept that data is subject to the laws and governance of the country or region where it is collected, processed, and stored. It is the right of a country to regulate and control data generated within its territory and borders. Data sovereignty can also refer to the right of groups or individuals to control and maintain data, which includes data collection, storage, and interpretation.

Why should it be done?

Data sovereignty is important for customer data protection, compliance with local regulations, avoiding legal issues, and indigenous sovereignty. Local regulatory compliance ensures that businesses abide by the country's laws in which they operate. Companies must be aware of local requirements and implement policies, processes, and infrastructure to meet the rules. Customer data protection, in particular, can give companies a competitive advantage. It demonstrates a commitment to protecting customer data, builds customer trust, and gains an edge over those who ignore data security. Not complying with data sovereignty laws can cause significant problems, such as fines, legal action, reputational damage, etc. Therefore, companies and individuals need to comply with such laws and regulations.

How to Implement it?

Implementing data sovereignty involves actions that aim to ensure the data owned or managed by a company is subject to the laws and regulations that apply in a particular region or country. Here are the steps that can be taken to implement it:

• Know the local rules and regulations. 

Each country or region has different regulations regarding data sovereignty. Therefore, companies need to know the local policies and establish appropriate processes and infrastructure to meet the requirements for implementing data sovereignty. Ensure that data storage complies with applicable regulations in Indonesia.

• Selection of an appropriate cloud provider

Ensuring regulations manage data is an important step, for example, data stored in the cloud. The choice of cloud provider can determine the location of the data storage center. This can adjust to the rules that apply to the selected cloud provider.

Data sovereignty is a consideration in the modern digital world. As more and more companies rely on data as crucial information, it is important to take steps to protect and ensure data is under existing regulations, even in a globalized world. Flou, as a cloud service provider, has implemented it by applicable regulations in Indonesia.
