Commvault, a leader in unified resilience at enterprise scale, has announced Commvault Geo Shield™, a solution approach that enables organizations to protect and recover critical data while maintaining strict control over data location, operational environments, and encryption key management. This development addresses evolving sovereign and regulatory requirements as cloud adoption accelerates across compliance-driven sectors.

Organizations in regulated industries face increasing pressure to balance cyber resilience with data sovereignty mandates, requiring solutions that enforce strict geographic boundaries, prevent unauthorized data movement, and ensure encryption keys remain under customer or designated partner control. Commvault Geo Shield builds on the company's established compliance framework by offering tailored deployment patterns that validate recoverability and operational continuity without compromising sovereignty.
The adaptive architecture allows Commvault to deliver cloud-native resilience while supporting local hyperscaler regions, sovereign cloud environments, partner-delivered national or regional clouds, and fully private deployments. This flexibility enables enterprises to meet diverse requirements—from in-region data residency to air-gapped protection—while leveraging Commvault's proven recovery capabilities.
"Commvault Geo Shield is designed to help customers strengthen resilience, support data compliance efforts, and maintain control over how and where their data is managed," said Rajiv Kottomtharayil, Chief Product Officer, Commvault.
By extending support for Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) and Hold Your Own Key (HYOK) models, along with integration to customer- or partner-managed hardware security modules (HSMs), Geo Shield ensures encryption remains fully governed. Operations can also adhere to "no call home" policies through screened local partners, further aligning with stringent regulatory and national security standards.
Commvault's existing certifications across federal, industry, and global frameworks position Geo Shield as a unified platform capable of bridging sovereignty needs with enterprise-scale cyber recovery in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
