Flying Cloud Publishes Executive Briefing on Data Defensibility in the Face of Global Data Sovereignty Regulation

January 26, 2026
  • 83% of all GDPR fines have been levied against American companies
  • Businesses are now accountable for every data type and its behavior in any situation
  • AI models and data multiply data risk and compliance complexity

POLSON, Mt., Jan., 26, 2026 — Flying Cloud Technology, the leader in data surveillance solutions, today released Surviving Global Data Sovereignty Regulation: 5 Steps You Should Take to Gain Defensible Data Clarity and Protect Your Company, an executive briefing on the compliance impact to non-EU and U.S. companies. European Union data laws affect any organization’s data used in the EU or pertaining to EU citizens—both personal and non-personal data, including relevant metadata. China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) governs data related to Chinese citizens.

“Companies can now be held accountable for any data type, including its usage and behavior, in almost any situation,” says Brian Christian, Chief Executive Officer of Flying Cloud. “Being able to provide a true chain of custody for every piece of data is the only way to protect against the expensive consequences of noncompliance while preserving business relationships with global partners.”

The briefing spells out key data sovereignty principles, consequences of noncompliance, and shows why traditional cybersecurity and governance measures are not longer enough to adequately defend against a data sovereignty challenge. Companies gain a five-step roadmap to ensuring their data and governance are ready to meet global sovereignty requirements.
