We live in unstable geopolitical times. There are constant (trade) wars and AI-developments lead to a cat-and-mouse chase between hackers and cybersecurity professionals.

For many organizations, data is the asset that is critical for business success. The geopolitical / AI developments pose serious risks for guaranteeing sovereign access to data.

Relevant questions are:

• Where do we want to store our data to guarantee access?

• What measures can we take to build sufficient resilience in our data systems?

• How do we deal with the impact of AI?

We believe that sound data management/data governance practices can help organizations to tackle these challenges. In this presentation, we will present the DAMA DMBOK as the leading framework for helping organizations ensure data sovereignty during geopolitical turmoil.
