  1. Why Are Companies Focusing on Data Localization? Businesses are increasingly prioritizing data localization to address growing concerns around data privacy, security, and regulatory compliance. By keeping data within national borders, companies can better navigate complex global data governance frameworks and mitigate risks associated with cross-border data transfers. © Next Move Strategy Consulting

  2. What is Data Localization? Definition Scope Compliance Data localization refers to the practice of storing and processing data within the same country where the data was generated, rather than transferring it across international borders. It applies to a wide range of data types, including personal information, financial records, and corporate intellectual property. Localization policies are often driven by regulations that mandate the storage and processing of certain data within national boundaries. © Next Move Strategy Consulting

  3. Drivers of Data Localization Data Sovereignty Privacy and Security 1 2 Governments seek to assert control over data generated within their borders to protect national security and economic interests. Localization can mitigate the risks of cross-border data transfers, such as unauthorized access and surveillance. Regulatory Compliance Technological Nationalism 3 4 Localization requirements are often mandated by data protection laws and industry-specific regulations. Some countries promote localization to support their domestic technology industries and reduce reliance on foreign providers. © Next Move Strategy Consulting

India's proposed legislation includes provisions for data localization, particularly for sensitive personal data. 1 2 3 China's Cybersecurity Law China's data localization policies mandate that personal information and important data be stored within the country. © Next Move Strategy Consulting

  5. Benefits of Data Localization Data Sovereignty Improved Security Localization allows governments to exercise greater control and oversight over data generated within their borders. Storing and processing data locally can enhance data protection, reduce the risks of cross-border data breaches, and comply with national security requirements. Economic Development Regulatory Compliance Localization policies can support the growth of domestic technology industries and create local jobs in data centers and related services.

  6. Challenges of Data Localization Infrastructure Costs Operational Complexity Trade Barriers Building and maintaining local data centers can be expensive, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. Localization can introduce technical and operational challenges, such as data migration, system integration, and managing multiple data centers. Strict data localization requirements can be perceived as trade barriers, potentially leading to retaliatory measures and disrupting cross-border data flows. © Next Move Strategy Consulting
