Do You Know Where Your Data Is In The Cloud?

Forrester Research has published a great Interactive Data Protection Heat Map outling regulations governing privacy and data protection by country. The privacy heat map does a great job of visually defining the degree of legal strictness across a range of nations.

Note: This interactive map provides information on national data protection laws that have either been enacted or are currently under consideration around the world. It does not address sectoral laws, local laws, criminal/civil code provisions, or constitutional provisions that may address data protection. It is intended for information only and is not an authoritative statement or summary of the actual laws in these countries, and it may not reflect all recent changes and legislative updates.
