Chapter 3:
Evidence of Data Sovereignty
Regulators now expect verifiable artifacts that prove residency requirements are enforced through technical boundaries rather than just vendor assurances.
- Residency Attestation: Produce reports that map storage nodes and backup targets to specific approved jurisdictions and physical regions.
- Egress Verification: Use network logs to prove that no automated processes moved production data or backups outside of approved jurisdictions.
- Restoration Logs: Capture detailed audit logs of restoration exercises to demonstrate that continuity can be maintained independently of a provider.
- The Percona Advantage: Percona assists teams in configuring audit logs and residency-scoped backup policies that meet the standards of DORA, GDPR, and other regional sovereignty requirements.
