AWS China data-privacy compliance rebuild

The Challenge

New data-privacy laws required consumer data to stay in-country, while digital channels and customer data were served from Global HQ and a different AWS region — risking market access.

Our Solution

Replicated and modernized AWS Cloud infrastructure in both regions, enabled regional publishing while keeping content authoring at HQ, live-synced OpenSearch data between regions, and implemented redundant disaster recovery — staffed with 20+ senior engineers to meet the legal deadline.

Impacts

• 20+ senior engineers deployed to meet a hard legal deadline
• Region-specific data storage achieved
• Resiliency and reliability
• Business model kept intact
