The Compliance Case

Why every regulated industry in Australia needs sovereign email

Gmail and Microsoft 365 create ongoing APP 8 cross-border disclosures on every email. Under the Privacy Act 1988, your business — not Google or Microsoft — is the accountable APP entity.

The CLOUD Act means US authorities can compel access to emails on US-hosted servers without notifying you or your clients — a direct privilege and confidentiality risk for legal, medical, and financial professionals.
