Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes restricting access to customer data to certain geographic regions authorized by the customer. The restriction can be managed by associating policy information with the customer data that identifies the geographic regions authorized by the customer. Resources attempting to access the customer data can evaluate the policy information associated with the customer data with respect to the geographic location in which the resource is located to determine whether the resource is permitted to access the customer data. The restriction can also be managed by encrypting the customer data with a cryptographic key that corresponds to the customer and/or the authorized geographic regions.
