Is data sovereignty important to you?
Data sovereignty itself is the concept that information which has been converted and stored in binary digital form is subject to the laws of the country in which it is located. Based on certain industries who rely on sending and receiving sensitive documents such as healthcare and government, this may be a key requirement for compliance reasons.
We speak with customers every day about how we handle data and why our security features are cut above the rest. For the most part of the time, we’re compared with internationally based competitors that claim their services provide ‘Australian data sovereignty’. There seems to be a common misconception that international cloud fax providers operating in Australia handle and store their data only within Australia.
Let’s be clear: “If your data is transmitted from a server located in Australia but the data is processed or stored on servers based overseas then you are NOT compliant with Australian Data Sovereignty requirements”.
