How Sri Lankan Businesses Can Ensure Absolute Data Privacy and Regulatory Compliance Through Sovereign Cloud

As organizations across industries embrace digital transformation as a key driver of business growth, many have adopted cloud computing in a bid to achieve scalability, agility and continuity. But with this rise in the use of cloud-based data storage, concerns are growing over where this sensitive data is stored, who has access to it and how it is protected. Also, it is crucial to ensure that this data is subject to only the jurisdictional laws, controls and authority of the country in which it is collected and resides.

This is why it is important to choose a sovereign cloud provider such as Dialog Enterprise, which recently obtained VMware sovereign cloud status , certifying that its cloud platform meets the highest standards of data privacy, security, and sovereignty.

With the receipt of this certification, local businesses can be confident that their data is stored within the country and is subject only to Sri Lanka’s legal jurisdiction. This is particularly important for organizations that operate in highly regulated industries, such as finance and healthcare, or for those that have high data privacy concerns. Additionally, Dialog’s VMware sovereign cloud platform will provide customers with secure and compliant cloud infrastructure with high availability, in order to support their mission-critical applications and workloads while ensuring compliance with evolving data privacy laws and offering all the benefits of global cloud infrastructure.

Furthermore, businesses can be assured that their data is fully protected from cyber threats as this sovereign cloud platform features more advanced security measures compared to traditional cloud providers and is supported by robust data backup and disaster recovery solutions, to enable companies to quickly recover from data loss or other disasters. The platform will also provide organizations with a greater degree of control over their data, in order to prevent unauthorized access by foreign entities or to share data with trusted countries, companies, or clouds. It can also help companies to leverage advanced services in order to gain valuable data insights as well as ensure data integrity against changing regulations, security threats and geopolitics.

Sovereign clouds are mature, well-established solutions that are a part of the rapidly evolving multi-cloud landscape and businesses would do well to update their cloud strategies to include a shift to sovereign cloud platforms. After all, digital sovereignty is the right of a country or organization, to have control over the use of its data, and migrating to a sovereign cloud platform can help a business protect this data and stay competitive in today's digital landscape.
