Non-compliance with UK sovereignty laws could leave your investigations—and your reputation—at risk.
Public cloud environments are leaving law enforcement agencies open to compliance risks and data security breaches.
When UK policing data was found to be non-compliant with data protection laws due to sovereignty concerns with Hyperscalers, hard and fast action had to be taken. With UK law enforcement bodies looking to repatriate their data from the public cloud back onto on-premise or hybrid cloud solutions, boxxe is here to support this with our latest seamless migration solutions, in collaboration with Dell Technologies; the Digital Evidence Platform for Hybrid Cloud.
Why are law enforcement agencies looking to repatriate their data from the public cloud?
Non-compliance with UK sovereignty laws could leave your investigations—and your reputation—at risk.
The 2018 Data Protection Act “stipulates that law enforcement data needs to be kept in the UK and other kinds of public sector data must also be kept sovereign under the new G-Cloud 14 framework, which has introduced a UK-only data hosting requirement.”
Many hyperscalers’ public cloud infrastructure has been regularly transferred and processed critical policing data overseas — landing law enforcement bodies in direct conflict with UK data laws. So, given that a huge amount of public sector data is hosted on hyperscale systems like Microsoft, alongside its recent admissions, the need for stringent data protection compliance and guaranteed data sovereignty has become a non-negotiable.
If you are looking to mitigate cloud computing security risks, whether that’s a lack of visibility of the data’s resting location, inability to control the data, or the risk of data theft… Data repatriation from the public cloud could be the solution.
Cloud repatriation is a go
Moving your data, applications and workloads back from a hosted environment and onto an on-premise or hybrid cloud solution is not an easy process. Especially if you’re hoping to maintain the ease of use, adoption and ready capacity of the public cloud!
That’s where boxxe’s on-premise solutions come in, offering you a smooth and disruption-free transition to secure, compliant hosting environments. Working in collaboration with Dell Technologies — a leading supplier of IT infrastructure solutions to UK constabularies — we’re introducing the Digital Evidence Platform for Hybrid Cloud.
