Multi-jurisdiction deployment intersects with data residency requirements. Personal data processed by the AI system in one member state may be subject to additional national data protection provisions beyond the GDPR. The Technical SME documents these constraints in the AISDP’s data governance module, and the infrastructure architecture enforces them.

Data residency constraints may require per-jurisdiction data processing infrastructure, restricting where training data, inference inputs, and monitoring data are stored and processed. The architecture documentation (Module 3) and data governance documentation (Module 4) reflect these constraints with clear per-jurisdiction data flow diagrams.

Where data sovereignty requirements conflict with the system’s centralised architecture, the Technical SME assesses architectural options (data localisation, federated processing, anonymisation before centralisation) and documents the chosen approach with its compliance rationale.

Key outputs

• Per-jurisdiction data residency documentation
• Infrastructure enforcement of data sovereignty constraints
• Architectural options assessment for conflicting requirements
• Module 4 and Module 9 AISDP documentation
