Twenty countries in this record have rules requiring government data to stay within their borders. In ten of the countries where we can see actual deployments, most government workloads still run on American companies anyway. The only places where that genuinely changes are the ones that shut those companies out altogether — and even there, the few remaining records are exits rather than operations.
- 44 of 99 regulations carry a localisation requirement, across 20 geographies
- US-headquartered vendors still hold the majority in 10 of them — Australia 25 of 26, Israel 15 of 15, Netherlands 7 of 7, Denmark 4 of 4
- Displacement only under explicit exclusion: China 3 of 28, Russia 3 of 23 — and all three Russian records are decommissioned
- 34 of 107 vendors are US-based, but they hold 273 of 399 deployments
