Key features of Data Sovereignty include data localization, access control, and compliance monitoring. The added value provided by D4Science includes robust mechanisms for ensuring data privacy and security, as well as compliance with local regulations. Shared cloud storage and SSO further enhance the secure and efficient management of sensitive data.
Legal compliance
Guarantees that all data handling practices adhere to the specific legal requirements of the jurisdiction where the data is generated. This is crucial for organisations that operate in multiple regions, as it helps them navigate the complex landscape of international data laws.
Data Privacy and Security
D4Science implements robust security measures to protect data from unauthorised access and breaches. This includes encryption, access controls, and regular security audits to ensure that data remains secure throughout its lifecycle. By prioritizing data privacy, D4Science helps organisations build trust with their stakeholders and maintain the integrity of their data.
Data Localization
This feature ensures that data is stored and processed within the European geographical boundaries of the jurisdiction where it is managed by D4Science. Data localization helps in complying with local data residency requirements and reduces the risk of data being subject to foreign laws. It also enhances data security by limiting the exposure of data to potential threats from outside the jurisdiction.
Data Governance
This includes establishing clear policies and procedures for data handling, defining roles and responsibilities, and implementing mechanisms for monitoring and auditing data usage. Effective data governance helps organizations maintain control over their data, ensure compliance with regulations, and make informed decisions based on accurate and reliable data.
Data sovereignty within the D4Science infrastructure operates by integrating legal compliance, data privacy and security, data localisation, and data governance into its core functionalities. The platform ensures that data is handled according to local laws, protected from unauthorised access, stored within the appropriate jurisdiction, and managed responsibly. This comprehensive approach helps organisations navigate the complexities of data management in a global context, ensuring that their data practices are both compliant and secure.
