Question details
Clarification of operating restrictions, if any
Notwithstanding the JRC's draft Contract Section I.9.2 as it pertains to contractor processing of personal data, for non-personal data process by the CA, is there any stipulation that such data be processed, or sensitive CA keys be held within data centres located with the territory of the European Union and the European Economic Area? Or more simply, would the JRC accept CA operations in data centres in some other territory? And if not, as it pertains to the UK in particular, were the UK to leave the European Union, would any consideration be given to allow for UK hosted data centres?
