What it checks
Data processing across multiple regions should be disabled for all Google Workspace products so that covered data is processed only within its designated storage region, preserving data sovereignty.

Remediation
Admin Console > Data > Compliance > Data regions > Enable 'Limit data processing to the chosen storage region' across Calendar, Drive and Docs, Gmail, Chat, Meet, and Gemini. Requires Assured Controls / Data Regions.
