Putting data governance into action

Putting data governance into action

Axway is building trust with companies worldwide by helping them navigate the complexities of data privacy and sovereignty regulations and put them into action. These regulations originate in the EU, but they provide a framework for companies everywhere that helps protect data, meet local and regional requirements, and build customer confidence.

A new Axway white paper goes into detail on these regulations, provides in-depth compliance guidance, and shows how Axway delivers solutions and partners with cloud providers to help customers stay in compliance and keep data secure.

Data privacy vs sovereignty: defining data governance

Data privacy, data sovereignty, and data governance are foundational principles in today’s digital landscape, shaping how personal and organizational data is managed across the globe.

Data privacy refers to the rights of individuals to control how their information is collected, used, shared, and stored.

Data sovereignty refers to how data is subject to the laws and governance of the country where it is collected.

 

 

Together, we group these two ideas into data governance—the overall management of data availability, usability, integrity, and security in an organization.

Data governance encompasses the policies, procedures, and standards that ensure data is handled in a way that complies with the legal and regulatory requirements and protects the privacy of individuals’ personal data.

As a proudly independent software publisher with European roots, Axway provides a robust set of solutions – along with expert guidance – to mitigate international data storage and processing concerns.

These complex and changing requirements have resulted in the creation of sovereign clouds—cloud providers that can meet the complex set of local regulations protecting sensitive data, removing significant burden from companies needing to comply.

Relevant current regulations include:
