A multinational group operates in several regions with differing restrictions on personal records. The group plans to adopt a new analytics platform that will handle these records. Which option is the best to comply with local rules that limit cross-border data transfers?
Apply masking methods across all regions in a single shared environment
Adopt a single broad encryption plan that stores all records on a central server
Gather one comprehensive agreement from users to allow records to move among regions
Implement distinct repositories in each region that follow local directives for handling personal records
Maintaining distinct storage locations per region aligns with local requirements, preventing policy violations that arise when data is transferred across borders. A single broad encryption approach does not address specific location demands. Relying heavily on masking techniques in one unified environment disregards local regulations that require data to remain inside certain boundaries. A global consent approach may not meet requirements in places where certain transfers are disallowed regardless of user agreement.
