Datenresidenz und Datensouveränität im Zeitalter der KI
Datenresidenz allein reicht im KI-Zeitalter nicht mehr aus. Wer Souveränität ernst nimmt, muss Speicherort, Rechtszuständigkeit, operative Kontrolle, Verschlüsselung, Provider-Abhängigkeiten und Governance-End-to-End zusammendenken. Für IT-Entscheider wird Datensouveränität damit von einer Compliance-Frage zur strategischen Architekturentscheidung. Management Summary Datenresidenz ist nicht Datensouveränität: Der Standort eines Rechenzentrums beantwortet nicht die entscheidende Frage, wer rechtlich, technisch und operativ Zugriff auf……
