- truetraveller 5y agoCould you expand on this. Is this only for government-based contracts?
- yandie 5y agoIt's kind of a spillover effect where your customers need to meet compliance requirements from other customers such as US presence (not limited to US government btw - mostly around data handling requirements by Infosec teams). Thus as a service providers you are subject to these restrictions as well. Another example, I know cases where you cannot run your service on AWS because the customers have a blanket ban on AWS - for competitive reasons.
- truetraveller 5y agoThanks. Will try to investigate more about this "spillover" effect.
