Sovereign Cloud NZ: Why Kiwi Firms Should Care
Data laws change fast. Firms must pick the right cloud.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Your data moves. You can’t see where it goes. Many Kiwi firms use foreign clouds.
Data lives in Australia or the US. Laws there may not protect your data.
What This Means
You must know where your data lives. Laws like the Privacy Act 2020 now matter.
Clouds in Europe now lock data in one place. NZ firms can do the same with local providers.
