Zscaler offers a local control plane for data sovereignty

"Zscaler had previously built separate control planes for the U.S. and Europe, supplemented by separate logging planes in six countries. That approach is now being expanded to multiple new regions. Users also gain full control over their encryption keys through integration with hardware security modules (HSMs). Only authorized parties can use these to decrypt traffic."

"Zscaler accelerates compliance through a 'Collect Once, Certify All' framework: a single set of security controls maps to overlapping regulations, speeding validation for GDPR, NIS2, and DoD IL5. For companies with specific hardware certification requirements, Zscaler offers Private Service Edges. These are single-tenant appliances hosted by the customer and managed by Zscaler."

"Unlike providers that rely on third-party infrastructure, Zscaler fully owns and manages its own cloud. As a result, an outage in a single data center has no impact on the overall service. This allows financial institutions to conduct realistic tests to verify that the platform does not constitute a single point of failure."

Zscaler enhances data sovereignty capabilities through a decentralized architecture with separate control, data, and logging planes across multiple regions. Encrypted traffic is decrypted and inspected locally, preventing sensitive data from leaving jurisdictions. Users control encryption keys via hardware security modules, with only authorized parties able to decrypt traffic. The company implements a 'Collect Once, Certify All' framework that maps security controls to overlapping regulations like GDPR, NIS2, and DoD IL5. Private Service Edges offer single-tenant appliances for organizations with specific hardware certification requirements. Zscaler owns and manages its own cloud infrastructure, eliminating single points of failure and enabling financial institutions to verify service resilience.
