Data sovereignty in multi regional identity systems

Abstract

As digital platforms expand globally, ensuring data sovereignty across regions has emerged as a critical concern, particularly in identity management systems. Existing identity architectures often centralize data storage and control, creating compliance risks in multi-jurisdictional deployments. This research proposes a novel architecture for multi-regional Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems to preserve data sovereignty while enabling unified customer identity experiences. The architecture ensures region-specific data storage, consentaware data sharing, and regulatory compliance.
