"Heightened risk related to data sovereignty is universally acknowledged. Most IT decision makers see that risk increasing as a result of geopolitical instability, and that inadequate preparation could result in costly reputational damage and a loss of customer trust. Those are the key findings of a Pure Storage-sponsored survey in which the University of Technology Sydney carried out interview-based qualitative research among IT practitioners in the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions."
"The survey found: 100% of those asked believed sovereignty risks that include potential service disruption have forced organisations to reconsider where data is located; 92% said geopolitical shifts had increased sovereignty risks; 92% believed inadequate sovereignty planning could lead to reputational damage; 85% identified loss of customer trust as the key consequence of inaction; 78% said they had embraced data strategies that included engaging with multiple service providers; adopting sovereign datacentres (on-premise or in-country), and building enhanced governance requirements into commercial agreements."

Service disruption, foreign influence and evolving regulations combine to create major exposure risking revenue, penalties and stakeholder trust.
