Zscaler announced a major expansion of its data sovereignty capabilities through its Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, aimed at helping global organizations comply with local data regulations while maintaining secure cross-border operations.

The expansion includes new regional deployments and enhanced local control planes that allow enterprises to manage sensitive data within specific jurisdictions without sacrificing performance or security. Zscaler currently operates more than 160 data centers worldwide and uses a decentralized architecture separating control, data and logging planes to ensure that sensitive information remains within required geographic boundaries.

New features include in-region SSL inspection and malware analysis, enabling encrypted traffic to be inspected locally without transferring sensitive data outside the country. The company also introduced certified on-premises deployment options through Private Service Edges and regional support teams to assist organizations with national regulatory requirements.

Zscaler said the platform also supports stronger compliance capabilities such as customer-controlled encryption keys using hardware security modules, flexible regional logging options and a unified compliance framework designed to help organizations meet regulations including General Data Protection Regulation and NIS2 Directive.

The company added that its security cloud infrastructure is fully owned and operated by Zscaler, helping ensure service resilience and reducing the risk that outages at individual data centers could disrupt global operations.
