Data localization suite helps businesses comply with changing regulations
Nations around the world are introducing new standards and regulations to address data access, protection, and privacy. This means businesses need to evaluate and set data controls at the appropriate level for each place they operate in.
To help with this problem Cloudflare is launching a Data Localization Suite to give businesses the tools to address their data locality, privacy, and compliance needs.
"Companies that want to win globally need to be able to operate within the local values and requirements of different regions, and that is increasingly true as nearly every country evaluates how to address data access and protection within its borders," says Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare. "We've always prioritized privacy at Cloudflare, and now we're making it easier than ever for our customers to navigate this shifting landscape globally, and regionally."
The suite includes Regional Services so companies can choose the location of the data centers where their traffic is inspected. They can also use Cloudflare's Geo Key Manager to choose where private keys are held, and Edge Log Delivery to send their logs anywhere in the world.
Cloudflare is also expanding Workers, its serverless platform, with Jurisdiction Tags for Durable Objects to give developers control of where they store data without sacrificing global performance. Data is encrypted by default based on the latest industry research.
The suite meets industry-leading standards for security and privacy, and validates those commitments with third party auditors on an annual basis. This includes ISO 27001/27002, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), and SSAE 18 SOC 2 Type II.
