A data-centre or cloud infrastructure operator transforming colocation capacity into an AI- and edge-intelligence services platform, and needs the compliance and disaster-recovery layer to catch up.
A bank, lender or financial-services firm under active regulatory scrutiny, needing evidence-based data-residency and disaster-recovery posture rather than a policy binder nobody has tested.
What You Can Expect
An evidence-based data residency map showing where data actually resides versus where policy says it should; a disaster-recovery plan that has actually been tested, not just reviewed; and a prioritized remediation roadmap the organization can act on immediately.
When This Applies
A known audit or review date is approaching and the organization has no independently verified evidence of its data residency posture.
A disaster-recovery plan exists on paper but has never been run end-to-end, so nobody actually knows if it works.
A prospective or existing client's due-diligence team is asking for residency and DR evidence the organization doesn't yet have assembled.
In Their Own Words
"As a CIO, I need to know where our data actually resides, not where our policy says it should, so that I'm not caught off guard by a regulator's question."
"As a Compliance Officer, I need our disaster-recovery plan actually tested before I certify it to a client, so that the certification means something."
How We Work
Deliverables
Data residency and sovereignty gap map; disaster-recovery test results (or a testability assessment if a live test isn't feasible in this window); scored, prioritized remediation roadmap.
Technology & Tools
Technical mapping of the actual infrastructure footprint against stated residency requirements
Structured, evidenced disaster-recovery test execution
Frameworks Applied
Information security management system requirements and Annex A controls.
Canadian federal privacy law governing the collection, use, disclosure and safeguarding of personal information.
Telecommunications infrastructure standard for data centres — site infrastructure, telecommunications, electrical and mechanical requirements.
How Success Is Measured
Representative Scenarios
Situation: A regional healthcare network had a data residency policy but no independent verification of where patient data actually resided across its infrastructure.
Approach: A Standard-tier assessment mapped the actual footprint, identified two out-of-jurisdiction storage instances, and delivered a prioritized remediation roadmap.
Outcome: The gaps were remediated ahead of a scheduled regulator review, and the organization converted into an ongoing Governance Office engagement.
