"Enterprises can move from small pilots to full deployments without violating their jurisdiction's rules on where data should live. The reality is that, earlier, most security and compliance teams weren't rejecting GenAI because of model design; they were rejecting it because storing data in the US or EU pushed them into conflict with GDPR, India's incoming DPDPA norms, UAE's federal rules, or sector-specific mandates like PCI-DSS,"
"The data residency expansion, according to Tyagi, changes that because enterprises will now be able to run workflows involving regulated or sensitive information as they can store that data in the specified region as per dedicated policies, directly benefitting banks, insurance companies, hospitals, and public sector bodies, which are heavily regulated. Enterprises will also benefit operationally, Tyagi pointed out:"
"Development teams will no longer have to strip or anonymize data just to stay compliant, and procurement teams can fast-track approvals because the storage architecture now aligns with localization requirements, specifically emerging markets, such as India, the UAE, and Australia."
OpenAI expanded data-residency options for ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu, and API users to include the UK, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, India, Australia, and the UAE. Enterprises can store data-at-rest in these specified regions while inference processing continues to run on US infrastructure. The change enables workflows that handle regulated or sensitive information to meet localization and compliance requirements such as GDPR, India's DPDPA norms, UAE federal rules, and sector-specific mandates like PCI-DSS. Regulated sectors such as banking, insurance, healthcare, and public bodies can deploy wider production use. Operationally, teams can avoid heavy anonymization and procurement approvals can accelerate. Residency for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu applies only to new workspaces.
