Verify regional data residency across file access
A firm customer requirement can still leave difficult choices about what a product promise truly covers.
Collaboration continuity and bounded data handling can pull in different directions once commitments become operational.
“We need one place for the work, but I can’t approve a promise we can’t prove.”
Rei Nishida · Design Operations Director
Sets the approved workflow for regulated product teams working across design and engineering.
What pulls against what
- Customer access vs. defensible boundaries
- Launch timing vs. verified coverage
- Collaboration continuity vs. regional isolation
- Automated inventory vs. independently verified scope
What is at stake
The customer requirement is clear, but the product promise must survive a costly launch decision and rigorous verification. Incomplete coverage risks both trust and regulated-work adoption
Why Figma
At Figma, trusted collaboration tends to depend on both clear boundaries and a workflow that remains usable across teams.

This is the setup. The work is inside.
Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
