BioQuebec – Attaining Data Sovereignty in Canada: A Practical Roadmap for Life Sciences Using Quebec Private Cloud
October 21 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am
Life sciences organizations across Canada are under rising pressure to modernize their infrastructure and prove that sensitive R&D, clinical, manufacturing, and patient data stays sovereign. Yet with standard public XaaS platforms (AWS, Azure, etc.), “Canada regions” don’t automatically guarantee sovereignty: foreign ownership can still expose data to extraterritorial access (notably under the U.S. CLOUD Act), and complex sub-processor chains can quietly move telemetry, support access, or backups across borders. At the same time, Quebec’s Law 25 and Canadian privacy guidance demand demonstrable cross-border risk assessments, contractual safeguards, and transparency to individuals.
In this session, you’ll get a practical, regulator-aligned roadmap to achieve true data sovereignty in Canada. Learn how Quebec-hosted private cloud environments can deliver residency, isolation, and operational control inside Canada, while getting a walkthrough of the validation, governance, and other evidence needed to meet GxP expectations while keeping data private by design.
Walk away ready to choose, build, and defend a sovereign cloud strategy that satisfies both innovation goals and auditors.
