Gigya ’ s new Russian data centre helps companies comply with privacy legislation
Gigya has announced the opening of a new data centre within Russian national borders to ensure compliance with the Russian Federation ’ s Personal Data Protection Act , which went into effect on 1st September 2015 .
The bill mandates that companies which maintain online properties serving Russian citizens must store those citizens ’ data within Russian borders .
The new law reflects a global trend toward governments requiring that their citizens ’ data reside locally . Other recent examples of this include the recent regulatory shakeup in the EU , where the previous Safe Harbour Framework for securing US — EU data transfers was deemed invalid and ultimately replaced with the more stringent Privacy Shield agreement . In all , since 2013 , 20 or so countries have either proposed or discussed potential laws which would require Internet data in those countries to remain within their borders .
To address this trend , Gigya employs a multiple data centre strategy to ensure that its customers avoid risk while still delivering seamless and trusted customer experiences to global audiences . By maintaining multiple data centres Gigya enables clients to conduct business internationally while remaining in compliance with local laws .
