Local data sovereignty issues As concerns about data privacy grow, there is an increasing emphasis on data sovereignty. This may lead to the choice to store data in the EU or to use Microsoft’s Sovereign Cloud offering. Completely ring-fenced national solutions (like Blue in France) are not advocated by the major- ity. This trend also aligns with increasing demand from customers for transparency and account- ability regarding how their data is handled.
Emerging legislation on cybersecurity Recent legislative developments are focusing on enhancing cybersecurity measures for data centres. As part of the EU Cybersecurity Act and other national initiatives, data centres are required to adopt stringent cybersecurity pro- tocols to protect against data breaches and cyberthreats. Acquirers need to assess the cybersecurity pos- ture of target data centres to ensure compliance with these emerging legal requirements.
