Transferring records across international borders requires specific legal mechanisms, such as binding corporate rules or standard contractual clauses.
Maintaining a matrix of where your digital records physically reside ensures you don't violate strict data sovereignty regulations.
- Do you know exactly which countries physically host your organization's cloud servers?
- What legal justification are you relying on to transfer employee records to an overseas office?
Action Item: Ask your IT provider for a formal list of the geographic data center locations hosting your records.
