Getting data sovereignty right for your CMS is no longer just a technical checkbox—it is a high-stakes legal requirement with multi-million dollar implications. In this episode, we break down why where your data "sits" is only half the story, and how your hosting architecture determines whether you are actually compliant with global regulations like GDPR.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Sovereignty Trap: Why many organizations confuse data residency with data sovereignty and the 4% global revenue penalty that comes with getting it wrong.
• The "Managed Apartment" vs. "Home Ownership": A deep dive into the trade-offs between shared platforms like Acquia and Pantheon versus dedicated cloud accounts on AWS and Azure.
• Hidden Data Leaks: How some hosting platforms centralize your logs in the EU or US regardless of your site’s location, potentially violating strict localization laws.
• The Third Way: How application orchestration (like DevPanel) allows you to automate your DevOps while maintaining 100% ownership and jurisdictional control of your infrastructure.
• Risk Framework: How to determine which hosting model aligns with your organization's legal exposure and operational capabilities.

Whether you’re managing a single WordPress site or a global Drupal fleet, this episode provides the framework you need to navigate digital borders with confidence.
