Foreign‑based cloud support risk

A new policy frame: treating the physical location and nationality of service staff who maintain critical cloud systems as a distinct national‑security axis. Lawmakers can (and now will) regulate vendor access by worker geography, not just by software or data residency. — If adopted broadly, this transforms vendor due diligence, procurement rules, and corporate staffing: firms must localize or insource sensitive operations, and export‑control debates expand to include personnel and remote service models.
