Google Cloud has announced a new set of Sovereign Controls for users of its Workspace productivity software, aimed at allowing organizations in both the public and private sector to better control, limit, and monitor data transfers to and from the European Union.
The changes look to have come in response to a range of recent European Union efforts to better protect the personal data of members when using cloud services, following the collapse of Privacy Shield.
With these coming changes, Workspace users will be provided with an expanded range of access controls, as well as the ability to generate comprehensive log reports on data access and actions.
