Perspectives from the Edge: Data Sovereignty Decoded with KPMG

Written by Pulsant | Feb 11, 2026 12:00:00 AM

Data sovereignty isn’t a checkbox – it’s now a board-level priority.

Data sovereignty is everywhere right now, but for many organisations, it still feels abstract.

In this first episode of Perspectives from the Edge, Assad Noori, Head of Digital Infrastructure Advisory for the UK at KPMG, speaks with Pulsant's Wendy Shearer, about why sovereignty has become a board-levelissue, how AI and hybrid infrastructure are reshaping long-held assumptions, and why decisions about where data lives, moves, and is accessed now carry far wider implications than most organisations expect.

Together, they explore the tension between innovation and control, the risks of oversimplifying sovereignty, and what it really means to operate with confidence in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

Why listen: To hear how data sovereignty is really shaping decisions around cloud, AI, and risk, and what that means for organisations trying to move forward with confidence.
